No. See what happened is that a LOT of people spoke up, and said, We Aren't going to Take Imus's Crap Anymore! And that is the American Way. When people decide you have become a Pile of Crap, You Get Fired!
He can still say what ever he wants - Online, in a blog, etc. I'm not stopping him.
What I objected to is giving these idiots MultiMillion $$$ contracts with 1,000,000 watt megaphones to preach their ugliness to everyone. Putting them on MSNBC and acting like they were the modern equivalent of Walter Cronkite.
You obviously haven't listened to his show. He is all about hating, being rude and otherwise begin a JackAss and That Rude Comment was actually just the straw that broke the camel's back.
And That Rude Comment hurt the ladies badly. They have gotten more press about that comment than they got about the fact that they placed 2nd in the NCAA Women's Basketball League. And do you even know who beat them? Nope. Not covered at all... Until Imus made his stoopid comment, no one had really been paying attention to the basketball contest at all. Sad.
It wasn't their class that was lacking, it was Imus's. The Nation is a much happier place now that he no longer has a large bullhorn to spread his garbage around.
