I feel the same way. Apparently I don't have to look too far for racism - I guess you didn't check out the posts under the Fedex lawsuit section.

If people concentrated more on intellectual prowess than athleticism then believe me, alot of sports programs across this country would go to hell in a hand basket - who is mostly given scholarships to play certain sports i.e. football & basketball? It's not genetics that makes people better, it's practice! This young lady involved in this lawsuit has both intellectual and athletic prowess. Rutgers has a fine reputation. If someone put a bug in her ear so be it -- I would sue too and use the money to further fund my education because she's going to need it to fall back on.

If I had enough money, I would send all my people to school and have athletics as a sideline not as a ticket out. Unfortunately for a fair amount of minority students, athletics is a way out. I really don't know what economic background this young lady comes from but may be taking this personally and this the lawsuit. Slander is also a legal term. Imus is old enough to know better whether he's always been saying these things or not.

Of course athletes are way overpaid -- everyone knows that. My mom is in teaching for crying out loud. On the other hand, it's about time for people of color to get paid for their skills and I personally agree to get their education too. That's on them if they buy the Bentley and not a $100,000 degree. I'd rather the degree first (which I do) and then the nice car if I can afford it.

Greyboomer,

I don't have deep pockets but if if you want to bring on a lawsuit go ahead and we'll see each other in court. Bring it on buddy. I'll just the get the money I need from the Insurance Journal (it's called s-u--b-r-o-g-a-t-i-o-n). You can slander if you want but anyone can write "oops I really meant this not that" as a way of covering themselves.
