Re: "...The basketball team were insulted by Imus's comments. He should have met with them and apoligize to them..."
Imus could have handled the whole matter much more professionally.
For instance:
He should have immediately called a personal meeting between himself and the basketball girls.
At the meeting, he should have said...
"...Aw'right now, giiiirls!....now, tell ole' Imus how much ya'll usually charge per hour....come on, now...don' be shy....How much?....ten bucks?....twenty?....twenty-five dollars?...."
"Tell ya'll what 'ole Imus is gonna' do!.....(reaching into the back pocket of his jeans)...Here's twenty-five Yankee dollars apiece!....that's twenty-five dollars fo' each of yew gals...a little somethin' to help ya'll forgit this whole matter!"
"....Yessuh!....twenty-five bucks probably 'bout what ya'll git for an hour on the streets!..."
"Ya'll nothin' but a bunch o' HO'S!.....Yaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
