Imus story continues; via a lawsuit by a Rutgers player

HERE is an article called Real Talk which has been resurrected from AOL. Snippet below:

We learned Wednesday that one of Nelson Womandela's Rutgers basketball players — center Kia Vaughn — has filed a lawsuit against Imus for defamation of character.

Yes, it seems that C. Vivian Womandela's players learned the exact lesson she taught throughout the Imus fiasco: play the victim for all the money and fame that it's worth and ignore the price others may pay for your selfishness.

Again, let me restate for the record my opinion on the Imus fiasco. Don Imus was wrong. He needed to be punished with a suspension. Sharpton, Jackson and Stringer milked Imus' mistake for personal gain, and at the end of the day put the Rutgers' players in harm's way (opposing fan backlash, death threats) over a minor incident.

Kia Vaughn is now following the example of her fearle$$ leaders. She wants her piece of the pie. She doesn't care that her lawsuit will undermine the credibility of her former teammates and make the Rutgers women look like money-grubbing, attention-starved opportunists. Vaughn watched Womandela cash in with a book deal and new contract, so why shouldn't at least one of the allegedly highly offended players get in on the score?

Even though hardly anyone in America knows who she is — and those who do, only know her as one of the "classy and intelligent" Rutgers players — Imus' stupid words supposedly damaged Vaughn's character and reputation to the extent that she needed to file a lawsuit to recover her good name.

What are we teaching our young people?


I am so sick and tired of the Race Card being played whenever it is something that a white person says about a non white.

All the guy was trying to do was to be one with the hood. They made up a lot of his audience. Don't know why he just doesn't fess up to catering to them by trying to sound like them.

Back when this first happened I posted Jason Whitlock's take on this. Here in KC we love him and hate him all at the same time! Ya know, I think there are more important things in the world than this and I'm tired of all the hullabaloo over it. No one died.
