Don Imus and Rutgers Women

Since when is calling someone a nappy headed ho racist? How is that racist? So I assume the white girls on the team weren't offended? It was a joke, probably a bad one, but please. And Al Sharpton is the person we are all going to listen to now? That's funny, because he's such a good guy right?
This crap is too much and people need to stop worrying about useless crap like this. WHo cares what Don Imus said? I know this is like Playboy for DTS but really, it's ridiculous. Personally, I'm offended that this is even an issue right now. But it won't stop, people are so bored that this will continue to spin out of control. I think we all need to get a life.

Dahoss,
It really doesn't matter to me if you like me nor wish to be my friend. I don't even care if you agree with my opinions.
Having said that, may I please remind you that this is Mr Byk's site. He has clearly stated a "code of conduct" that we all agreed to abide by when we registered here. I suggest you reread it.
Should that "code of conduct" be selectively applied by the moderators, the standards will have equally as much credibility as your disparaging remarks.
I enjoy meaningful discussions with some of the posters here. I have abided by the "code of conduct", and I thank Steve and others for making this opportunity possible.

Well,the slavemaster types are pretty much in unison here:

"It was a bad joke...now can we just shut up about this?"

This is the exact opposite to the punishment they call for when other members of society do stuff they don't like.Granted this is not a crime,but you are not encouraging any changes be made(2 weeks off.......is a vacation...it is not a change in format.)See,this is a case of somebody repeatedly doing something wrong at their job.I understand he is doing comedy.I understand that this is a situation that needs to be looked at in context to the situation(2 guys getting paid to try to be funny.) Many people are wrong for not taking that part into account,but many others are wrong for thinking race should continue to be fair game for the comedy done on this show.You are wrong for wanting to sweep this thing under the rug(and by not supporting any real changes here.. you are doing that.)IMUS, himself, says he wants to change the show.Not these guys...No,all they want is people to shut up about the topic(because it has close to zero importance to them.)They really could care less if this same mistake is made again.That is sad.You would think you would want the real gas in this fire(Bernard) to be let go.How this show can change with that guy doing so much of the writing is beyond me.I would say atleast 25% of this guy's comedy writing is of this same sort(racial overtone involved.)Don't see how this guy can stay.Can't see why this isn't the minimum change that should happen.If this "actual change" of some sort was made,then the calls to move on would make more sense.I don't understand the support for just doing nothing(but a vacation.) If it is wrong,then do something to try to keep it from re-occuring.What workplace does nothing when large mistakes are made?

It's not a joke. It's cancer.
Notice that the two malignancies that ranted against me didn't provide proof.
Cancer is silent, and it spreads unless the tumors are removed.
Cancer is not funny at all! It even seems to have found it's insidious way to this board.

Why post here? There have to be plenty of political web sites to post on. Your act gets old. People are tired of it. Stop acting like you are above it all. And your thinly veiled insults are getting tired. At least be a man and own up when you insult someone. You're a very angry old man, and it gets boring hearing about it.

I refuse to call you a name back.
As far as horse racing...go back through this very thread. I stated Unbridled Danger in the 7th at AQ on Thurs...twice.
My Derby pick? Still making up my mind. As of now, No biz, but it could change.
Insults?
No thanks.

MORE UNSULTS !!


MORE INSULTS!!!

DaHoss,
What happened?
Did you go back through this thread to confirm what I said?
Is you silence an admission that I'm yet again correct?
I can't wait for you to insult me again.
And, calling me the name you did should indeed get you benched, if the "code of conduct" wasn't impartially applied.
See ya.

Between calling me a Nazi for disagreeing with you, calling Kev a racist, your crap with Baba and insulting Chuck's training ability, you are really something special. Keep it up.
If the mods deem it appropriate to give me a benching for calling you an a$$hole so be it. I can deal with it and I stand by it. I notice I don't see anyone disagreeing with me. I guess I thought your cheap shots yesterday were very low, even for a nut like you. I will say it again, all of your peace stuff is a bunch of crap and your cheap shots prove it. Again, you are a very angry man and I hope you get help. You need it. Bad. And as a favor to all of your fans, do you think you could bring back the lessons learned from chicken's thread? I know I am not the only one missing that.

There is a freakshow going on in a DT thread and I am not stuck in the middle of it.

The first time is always the sweetest....
