Krystle Horton, a senior on this year's MT squad, wrote a guest column regarding the Imus comments in Sunday's Tennessean. I appreciated her comments as one of the few student athlete voices, outside of the Rutgers squad themselves, I've heard regarding the matter.

What is utterly depressing is many of the reader comments in response to her comments. Sad

Some of the responses are truly depressing. What strikes me as completely whack is the feeling that now it's all "Hip-Hop"s fault, as though you hear explicit lyrics on the airwaves; as if ALL hip-hop and rap is explicit in it's language content- it's not. The FCC doesn't allow explicit lyrics of any kind no matter the musical genre, to be played on air - only edited clean versions can be played. The music industry has been monitoring itself for years- any music, music video/dvd that includes explicit lyrics must have a Parental Advisory sticker clearly on the cover- so that you as a consumer know what you're purchasing and you can choose to purchase it. Maybe the FCC should've been monitoring Imus a little more and his producer.
Anyway- Like Mr Imus' wife said- if you're going to send hate mail and blame someone- blame Mr Imus, he's the on who opened his mouth without thinking.
