Well how about all the people saying that what he said makes their accomplishments meaningless. How's that? How does what he said do anything to their accomplishments? I didn't even know who Imus was until he made those comments. Even the day he made them, I saw headlines on Google News referencing Imus and I completely ignored them. It wasn't until the next day watching Fox News that I even began to find out who he was or what he'd said. And again, how does it hurt their accomplishments? And if it does hurt their accomplishments, how does firing him repair that? All firing him did was let CBS and MSNBC distance themselves from him.

So unless they're losing a scholarship or their grades suddenly tumble from some kind of emotional stress, I fail to see how his comments did anything to hurt them. Since the girls themselves have said how stupid the comments were knowing what they've accomplished, I don't think its had any effect on them whatsoever.
