Oddly, on the same day he was suspended, the NFL handed down severe punishments to two notorious troublemakers, people who committed real illegal acts that had the potential to cause serious harm to other people. But they’ll be playing in front of sold-out crowds again in no time because they sure can run fast.

What is most overlooked in the Imus saga is the number of athletes who receive scholarships, don’t graduate, then go on to make boatloads. When all is said and done, let’s see how many of the Rutgers basketball players graduate. If they all do, then great, let’s see that reported. If Imus had used the word “dykes” instead of “hos,” he would still have a job. It seems very little is said about the number of women college players who are gay. It has to be the most of any collegiate sport.
