VIDEO: Rob Parker Questions RGIII "Is he a brother or is he a cornball brother?"

[Rocky52Mc]

Well, this Rob Parker ******* succeeded in drawing more attention to ESPN.

After all, doesn't the acronym for ESPN stand for the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network?

Who cares? They can't keep letting people spit racism. Eventually it turns on you. We fight this because it's a good fight. This is our ****ing guy, who gives a **** about their ratings, they're gonna get their money all the time anyways. But you won't seem me turning on the TV until Monday Night

I would disagree on the black/white make up of fans. DC is a urban area and draws heavilly in the district. I could care less, I am white (not that it makes any damn difference) and root for the team. There are players black and white players that are idiots that I don't like. I base my opinion of the man, as a player, his character as his performance opposed to the color of the players skin. I would hope to get the same consideration in my job and from my employees,

Hail

I feel you there! Just quoting Bayless.

Wow. I know next to nothing regarding Rob Parker and after this bit of dribble(s) he is absolutely not worth tying up any of my cerebral cortex resources. This seems to be the mode of journalism these days and the worst part is that the public perpetuates it. ESPN promotes it. Bad juju from Mr Parker.

Yea, I have a feeling not a lot of people on this board are even aware of this yet. In regards to the Kirk Cousins incident.

John Thompson the former Georgetown coach is looked at as a pillar in the african american community. Not a fan of his or GU but I wonder what Rob Parker would say about him.since his female partner for decades is white...

Stupid comment by Parker. What a complete embarrassment. This is one of the reasons I do not watch ESPN. They cater to crap like this for ratings. I'm black and in high school there was a white female (student) that tried to tell me that I wasn't really black (after seeing that I had aced a test). The sad part is that the burnout thought she was paying me a compliment. I gave her a certain look and this "oh ****" look came across her face. She tried to apologize but I left it at that.

[Pride]

This guy should be fired..

Anyone have a feeling this was a complete set up?

Skip Bayless back in September. And he couldn't ever be MORE WRONG.

"Some foolish Redskins fans – fans, foolish, doesn't that go together,
right? – they're gonna sit back and say, 'God, RGIII was struggling. He fumbled, he threw a couple of bad passes. Maybe Kirk Cousins is better right now. Maybe we should go with Kirk.' NO! I don't want to see that. I don't want to set up that dynamic."

"I'm going to throw it out there. You also have the black/white dynamic and the majority of Redskins fans are white and it's just human nature if you're white to root for the white guy. It just happens in sports. Just like the black community will root for the black quarterback."

WTF is going on over there?

They've been doing this for most of the year, ever since Lebron won his ring they've had to find something else to get controversy with. Thats all they do is race bait.

[Rocky21]

This is obviously an attempt to grab attention on his part. I honestly don't know who Rob Parker is (and now I don't really want to know) and I wanted to share this amusing item before it gets shut down.

Way to go Redskins Faithful.

dawg, First Take has been race baiting for the last two years. Thats all they do now. Its why they have black rappers and talk about these things.

ESPN is a HORRIBLE network now. HORRIBLE. Stop watching it except for hits live sports broadcasts.

On a lighter note, I remember when a reported at media week asked Doug Williams "how long have you been a black quarterback". Idiot

thats actually an urban legend, lol. It was never asked.

Also, Rob Parker was just calling dude an Uncle Tom.

[CGSKINS]

This dude is a ****ing Lame. He is the cornball.

[Daaskins]

I don't care if he is democrat or republican. If he were to ever run for president I believe he would be the one person that could get both parties to come together, just as he has with DC.

RGIII FOR PRESIDENT. Calling it now

He was born in Japan..

[MattFancy]

Check on @RobParkerESPN his tweets are ridiculous. The said part is all the people that are agreeing with him.

[Murphs56]

It's the talk in the barber shops? How many barber shops does Rob Parker go to? I mean seriously. He has a white fiancee, he might be a republican, so that means he's not black? Jese. And what is the "Cause?"

Just saw the video evidence posted on this thread and i am more interested in what stephen A had to say.

Look people, the one thing that i have noticed in the last 10 years is a sports personality making outlandish comments in order to further ones career. In the whole spirit of bad publicity is good publicity. Lately it seems to be pulling the race card.

Rob Parker has never imprssed me as someone who's opinion i value. I love to watch the show because i like to get the opinions of everyone there but this takes it to a whole other level and frankly if i was RG3 i would steer as far away from this subject as i possibly could. Let the people of the Redskins nation fight this battle for you brotha. You just worry about the Browns.

Great legend though..the actual quote Super Bowl XXII To Redskins QB Doug Williams: "So how long have you been a black quarterback?" This is now widely debunked as an urban legend, but the following was asked: "Doug, would it be easier if you were the second black quarterback to play in the Super Bowl?"
