Two broadcasters, Don Imus and Billy Packer, have created controversy this week in the college basketball world. So which was worse, Imus calling the Rutgers players "nappy-headed hos" or Packer saying the word "fag"? First, watch the video:


My vote goes to Imus. Although it's a close call because Imus has apologized whereas Packer has said he will use the phrase again, Imus has more to apologize for: With Packer, you can make the case that he was using the word "fag" to mean something other than a homophobic slur. There's only one way to interpret what Imus meant.
