My prediction on the Imus incident

[bigdarryl]

The Rutgers girls basketball team will file a law suit for pain and suffering mark my word.

1. Imus to be team waterboy for a year.... now that's a sentence

with teeth.

[Catherine Vincent]

2. I don't think so. n/t

[niceypoo]

3. Bull crap

That would make the university look like children throwing a tantrum. They will accept his apology and move on. The whole thing is totally overblown. The man made a stupid remark, he looks like a fool for it, he is being punished for it. Let the man apologize and move on. End of story.

4. No

they won't. Those women are classier than that. Plus they'd really have no grounds - you can't sue just for hurt feelings.

[FredScuttle]

9. But you can for slander

These girls weren't public figures, at least not at the time that cragged-out bigot opened his mouth. I hope they sue him and MSNBC for millions.

11. it would be tossed out

before the ink on the papers was dry. Name-calling isn't slander.

The best way for people to start believing these women ARE ho's would be for them to sue over something this stupid.

[FredScuttle]

13. Oh, so if they sue, they're "hoes"?

You and I-Man must be quite chummy on the Ranch.

[MonkeyFunk]

14. nope

not at all.

But suing would be stupid. Childish name-calling isn't actionable.

[Ninja Jordan]

5. go back to FR

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. Aaaaaaachoooracist

Gezundheit.

[Mz Pip]

7. That would be a really stupid move

They have the support of most of the country now. If they try to turn this into a cash cow then they will just be perceived as opportunistic. I suspect they have more class then that. After listening to their press conference I was impressed with how they were handling this. I think they will meet with Imus and move on.

8. Yeah, because when you're slandered on national radio in front of millions

and you aren't a public figure, you should just shut up and take it. :sarcasm:

[Ninja Jordan]

10. The contention is correct, it would be an unwise PR move.

[MonkeyFunk]

12. Name-calling isn't slander

this is ridiculous.

[AlCzervik]

15. and thats based on what? Imo you are just wrong.
