fatbeer,

Suggesting that 1 in 12, or a bit more than 8% of women undergrads are prostitutes does not, as I understand it, constitute evidence that any one of the Rutgers University women's basketball team is. It is a rather grim speculation, in my opinion. Had there been any evidence to support Mr. Imus’ description of these women, I suspect that he or one of his supporters would have presented it for review. It is most unlikely that he would have apologized for his behavior had he thought his description apt.

As one who tends to take a liberal view towards other people’s behavior, I must grant Mr. Imus his right to say what he wishes, no matter how odious I find them, provided he avoids such dangerous behaviors as shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theater. He in turn must, however, accept responsibility for his actions, and now he will have the leisure time to reflect upon the appropriateness of his more memorable sound bites.
