Don Imus In Hot Water Again! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 06-24-2008, 05:16 PM

He's been back on the air less than a year – but radio host Don Imus is already in hot water following comments he made Monday about footballer Adam Jones.

Discussing the suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback's six arrests, Imus asked, "What color is he?" Told that the player (formerly nicknamed "Pacman") is African American, Imus responded: "There you go. Now we know."

Rev. Al Sharpton said he found the comment "disturbing because it plays into stereotypes."

But the radio host – who was fired by CBS Radio in April 2007 following his racially insensitive remarks about a women's basketball team – claims it's all a misunderstanding.

"I meant that he was being picked on because he's black," Imus said in a statement released by his spokesman, the Associated Press reports.

Imus, either pack it in or move to satellite radio.

His attempt to spin his remark is even more stupid.

Jones isn't being "picked on" because he's black.

He's a thug pretending to be a football player.

I can't stand Imus, but I do believe his explanation. I think he's trying to overcompensate for his last remarks which got him in trouble. He does suffer from foot-in-mouth disease. Al Sharpton's the last person in the world to be be accusing anyone of stereotyping.

Nobody can put their foot in their mouth like ol Imus. Hands too. And he gets paid $$$$ for this? Unbelievable. Never cared for him and never will.

Stop being so ********.

Love,
Everyone else.

You'd think that this guy would have learned his lesson the FIRST time around, but I imagine that tigers don't change their stripes and leopards don't change their spots!

And a skunk will not pass up the opportunity to stink-bomb you!

Yes, but Adam Jones has not been suspended he is black, he has been
suspended because of his continually violent behavior as a football player.
