Those of you among us who remember that Don Imus used to be a thing, why was he so influential and how did he slip completely from memory? (kbin.social)

Well, he died in 2019.

He was entertaining for the times in which he was popular. Then in 2007 he made a major blunder after describing the Rutgers women’s college basketball team as “nappy headed hos.” He didn't retire until 2018, but his career was never the same again.
