The prelude to the WAR. The world came to Soweto on Thursday for a celebration of football on the eve of Africa's first World Cup, with a concert featuring international singers like Shakira, the Black Eyed Peas and Alicia Keys.

Warm-up acts played for hours before the internationally televised portion of the concert at Orlando Stadium began at 8 p.m. with a frenzy of flag waving, drumming and African-inspired dancing.

Don Imus, who was fired from a previous radio show after making racist remarks toward the Rutgers women's basketball team, was again the news on Monday for a questionable racist comment.

It all happened during a morning program on WABC radio on Monday, while Don Imus and sportscaster Warner Wolf were addressing Dallas Cowboys football star Adam "Pacman" Jones' involvement in a fight at a Las Vegas nightclub last year that led to a shooting.

When Wolf said Jones had been "arrested six times since he was drafted by Tennessee in 2005," Imus responded by asking "What color is he?"

"He's African-American," Wolf said.

"Well, there you go," Imus said. "Now we know."

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker remained hospitalized with a concussion and a battered face yesterday, one day after he was beaten, robbed and left unconscious on a Las Vegas street after a night of partying.

Police said a large amount of cash and some jewelry were taken from Walker, who suffered "a moderate concussion and significant injuries to his face."

Police Lt. Clinton Nichols said detectives are retracing Walker's activities in the hours before he was found injured early Monday
