In an interview with the New York Times Thursday, Citadel Broadcasting's chief executive Farid Suleman said that Imus deserved another chance after being fired by CBS Radio for making derogatory comments about the
Rutgers University women's basketball team. The remarks also cost Imus his simulcast gig on MSNBC.
First it is the Rutgers women's basketball team, next it could be your friends or family members, who through no fault of their own, are put in the spotlight due to success in their chosen sport or vocation.
Support the original decision to remove Imus from the airwaves, and send a message to other talk radio hosts these types of comments will not be tolerated.
Tell Citadel, no more!!
