The citation, in full:

This week, the BuzzFlash Wings of Justice Award goes to the Rutgers University Women's Basketball Team and their coach, C. Vivian Stringer. The BuzzFlash reader who nominated them explains better than we can why they so deservedly merit the honor:

In the wake of their sports achievements this year -- including the Big East title, an NCAA regional championship (Final Four), and advancing to the NCAA national championship game in Cleveland (where they lost to Tennessee) -- this team and their coach were maliciously and insensitively maligned by syndicated radio host Dom Imus and his "sidekick" Bernard McGuirk for cheap laughs.

Specifically, the team members were referred to as "nappy-headed ho's", a degrading insult for people of color and for women.

The response of the team and their coach has been nothing short of magnificent. They have conducted themselves with grace, dignity, and class throughout this ordeal.

For this, I nominate Coach Vivian Stringer and the Rutgers University women's basketball team for this week's BuzzFlash Wings of Justice Award.
