Well, you're getting deep into Imus, and that's not the point, the point is:
And the NFL / Falcons don't have the right to "fire" Vick?
What Vick did was 1 million times worse (and I'm being nice) than what Imus did, and Imus lost everything for it, so why shouldn't Vick?

In any event, what exactly does Imus have to do with Vick?

It's about the persecution of an exhaulted person. Note the very first comment here with Imus and Martha Stewart.
