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

[DM72]

I didn't notice the new host. Who is she?

Cari Champion and she is FINE.

[BRAVEONAWARPATH]

Parker will be back. It's ESPN......

[DM72]

Parker will be back. It's ESPN......

I really hope not. What he said, IMO, is unforgivable.

[JMUSkins]

I really hope not. What he said, IMO, is unforgivable.

If ESPN doesn't bring him back, they'll still find someone else who is just as controversial to replace him. They are loving the attention.

[RocCitySkins]

Isn't he spiderman? HAHAHAHAHA

Lmao! I believe that's Peter Parker haha

I'm not feeling the outrage on this one.

Jesus Tapdancing Christ. What a moron. ESPN will can his ass by the morning.

ABC/ESPN better fire his ass. This guy has no business being on TV if this is how he thinks. He is the racist here. He's dictating how a man black or white should behave to reflect what? His race? What does that mean? This guy is a total punk loser that better be fired. There should be a petition set up to send him to the unemployment line where he can think long and hard about what it is to be a man, be it black,white,red or yellow. Beyond, beyond tollerable.

Really?

I'm not feeling the outrage on this one.

Let's just say guys like Pacman Jones, Mike Vick, Dez Bryant, young Mike Tyson and most rappers are "real" brotha's or are 100% black in Rob Parker's little world, while guys who's doing it all the right way like RG3 are not.

Well guess what Redskins Faithful?

"ESPN commentator Rob Parker has been suspended indefinitely as a result of disparaging racial comments he made about Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III on Thursday."

Watch... He'll be bitching about being fired because ABC is racist and he'll file a lawsuit.

I think it's messed up ESPN suspended only him when A) they knew what he was gonna say and B ) why'd they rerun that segment on the Best Of show later in the day if they thought it was so terrible? They don't have a problem with what he said, it's a provocative show, and he did what they wanted him to do. Skip and Stephen A say crazy stuff every week. I don't have a problem with the suspension though, but I'm just not falling for ESPN's disingenuous antics.

When they posted that offensive Jeremy Lin headline, they suspended more than one guy, and I think there's more people that should be disciplined here.

That's dangerous territory thinking you really know somebody because you read about them. You can read all the articles in the world, you never know somebody unless you know them personally. He's a guy on my team, and I leave it at that.

c/s this

Yeah they have production meetings prior to the show, and I know they gloss over what they're going to discuss, and the arguments/comments they are going to present. So maybe he kind of added a little more onto what he was originally going to say (as far as choice of words is concerned) but I'm sure they knew what he was going to talk about and how he was going to talk about it.

I wish some big-time companies would yank their ads from ESPN as a result. That would at least make them look at their management chain, who is truly at fault here.

and again, firing Rob Parker will not solve the problem of ESPN First Take. That show does nothing but race bait. Stephen A Smith has said "n**gga" at least twice since he has been on the show the last year. Skip always asks racially charged questions too.

Rob Parker is a problem, but there is a bigger problem with that show than him.


Then you have Colin Cowherd, who actually does say racist things and yet he is one of ESPN's big figures.
