Default Will Rob Parker be fired for his controversial comments about RG3???
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.
Let's Go Boys!

We are building something of worth!

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

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

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.
1. Brandon Magee will beat out Ernie Sims for the backup WILL/MO roster spot.

2. Ron Leary will start at right guard over Bernadeau.

3. Joseph Randle, Terrance Williams and Gavin Escobar will have more combined TD's than DeMarco Murray, Miles Austin and Jason Witten.

4. Bruce Carter makes the Pro Bowl.

5. The starting OL will be Smith-Livings-Frederick-Leary-Free

Wow. Just wow.


I guess in Rob Parker's mind all Black people should behave in the exact same stereotypical 'black' way.

It's sad because he's definitely not the only person who thinks like this, but Parker's comments show just out of touch he is.

RGIII acts like a what he is... a young NFL player out of Baylor.

I guess I'm showing that I don't watch much ESPN or go to sites where his writings are published (is he a journalist?), but I have never heard of Rob Parker until now.

If his goal was a Skip Bayless/Stephen A. Smith style career, he has made a good first step.

He comes from the Detroit media as a sportswriter

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?
