Will Rob Parker be fired for his controversial comments about RG3???

[CowboysFanSince88]

This idiot who i can't stand on the show questioned whether or not RG3 was really black since he stated he doesn't want to be seen as a good black QB and has a white girlfriend

I would sleep so much better at night if ESPN fires him

Rob Parker should be ashamed of himself. I own a small business, and I am black. However, I don't want to be identified as such (a black owned business). "Racing" someone that way is a suggestion that he/she is limited primarily because of his/her race.

This is yet another dumb comment spoken by Rob Parker. How this continues to get a job in this business is beyond me.

Agreed, I'm successful as well and often get told that I am not black or black enough. Ignorance.

I like Griffin as a person, but hope he fails as a Redskin.

This is also the second time...actress earlier before election...where a black individual was called out for maybe being Republican. I'm not black so I don't know if that is a true stigma but in these individuals tax bracket I'd say maybe they are making choices about their money too. Smart if you ask me...as in weighing what is best for each individual.

The guy should be fired

The actress is Stacey Dash and she was a supporter of Romney and got highly criticized by black people on Twitter because of it. I don't know why some people think that all black people should act the same?

[BringBackThatOleTimeBoys]

If Michael Jordan is simply known as the greatest basketball player ever,
and Tiger Woods as one of the all time golfing greats,
what's wrong with RG3 wanting to be known as an elite (if not an all-time great) QB - PERIOD?

Yeah - that was a Captain Obvious comment.

[The Natural]

It would be hypocritical of ESPN to fire Rob Parker after they let one of Mike and Mike get away with calling MLK, "Martin Luther Coon" on airwaves and I wont even mention Colin Coward and his constant race-baiting remarks

I don't know why some people think that all people should act the same. We may all have some similarities, but we are also all different.

If this had been said about a white Man, nobody would care.

[T-RO]

When you hear Bob Costas say something or Rob Parker...you have to look at the culture of the organization.

A sports mediot isn't going to say something controversial if he believes it is counter to the culture of his organization...if he believes it might harm his career.

These guys are saying these things because they know they'll get applauded for it with their bosses.

It's ignorant comments like these that perpetuate racism. It's asking to be looked at and treated differently.

[theebs]

Hy does anyone watch espn?

The entire network is a joke.

They have one real journalist left in the entire network and that's mortensen and he is just a tv guy now anyway.

They offer nothing.

Yup. Rob Parker could be categorized as a racist himself. What an ignorant human being.
