Okay, I just heard that the women team members from Rutgers described themselves as "scarred for life."
How? Why? I know words hurt...I'll be the first to say it because I've been hurt by them...but scarred for life? Are you telling me that when one of these ladies is in her 60's, she's still going to be saying to herself, "Curse that Don Imus, I can still feel the sting of his words!"
I don't buy that. I've had some hateful/hurtful things said about me because of being blind/legally blind. Was I scarred for life? No!! In fact, I look back and see things for what they are. The persons who said those things to me were either immature or ignorant. If I'm still hurt by them, it is my choice.
That said, if those women are "scarred for life" that's there choice, and not Imus' fault. They choose to be hurt or scarred and Imus cannot control that.
If we let others dictate our feelings or emotions that gives them the power. If these women want to stay empowered after their NCAA success, they could try not letting Imus have the impact on them that they claim he did.
