Good column, thanks.
Just my take, and if you read anything I said on other threads, I never suggested punishment for Imus, just that I disagreed with him.
I also think Pgardn got it right, that the market became the judges.
That said, I started a thread about the great baseball player, Jackie Robinson,
who broke new territory 60 years ago at Ebbet's Field for the Dodgers.
He endured very nasty words, having watermelons an black cats thrown on the field, slurs...
So, when other atheletes 60 years later are again having insults thrown at them rather than recognition for their abilities, many people have said, "Enough is enough."

Peace.
