Actually, a better analogy would be to call the entire Duke LaCrosse team 'rapists'.

And the point I think a some of you are missing, and that Alan is, is that Imus reduced an entire group of women down to nothing more than sluts and most of the world says it's 'Ok' or 'he was only trying for ratings points'. Sorry, that's NOT 'Ok'. Not for a women's basketball team, not for a men's laCrosse team, not for anyone.



>How many people have called Michael Vick dogkiller? Or Pacman Jone moron? Or Barry Bonds a juicer? Or Tank Johnson a thug? I have for all of them.

>>No, I think the real point is that people seem to feel it's ok to insult female athletes on a personal level while only insulting male athletes on a professional or athletic level. I still want to know the last time anyone has heard a commentator, white, black or any other colour call a male athlete a pimp (white black or any other colour).

>>>"Ho" is used more and more commonly today by the younger population as a general "friendly-insult" and is losing it's power and meaning just like the N word. Listen to rap music if you don't believe me. I believe the only problem was that Imus is white and said it, and if Snoop or Dr. Dre would say it, it would be fine.
