"If someone on a sports show had called the U of Florida or Ohio State mens' basketball teams a bunch of flaming fairy prostitutes, I think the outrage would have been the same"

I think you are probably right about that. But IMO it would be a foolish reaction if the source was the Imus show, Howard Stern, Opie and Anthony, Southpark etc... vs. someone on Sports Center. IMO, the context of the comment is extremely important in determining whether people should be offended, laughing, or just changing the channel because they don't like that form of humor. That distinction is something that seems to go over the head of some people.
