ESPN's Rob Parker asks if Robert Griffin III is a "cornball brother"

OJ was a cornball, but got his rep back after murdering his wife.

 

Spoiler

 

YES. I was surprised that hardly anybody brought that up.

 

In so many words, he just wanted to know if RG3 is Tiger Woods 2.0.

 

i get that, i just didn't want to add the 50th rob parker is an idiot post. believe me, his comments were stupid, i don't know why he would even venture to that topic and i had a higher opinion of parker before these comments.

i do agree with thefreak in terms that he was just being contreversial but didn't understand what he was getting himself into

 

He only gets a 30-day suspension.
So he still has a job, after those stupid racist comments.
Why? Its double standard for me. He should be fired, and not just a suspension.

It appears ESPN's Rob Parker will keep his job despite his inflammatory comments about Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III.


Parker will be suspended 30 days by the network, according to a statement released by ESPN. While no other details are available, this indicates Parker will not be fired immediately.

The network also took "appropriate disciplinary measures" with "personnel responsible" for the airing of comments. In short, some of Parker's producers and bosses were disciplined as well.

Parker wrote a long apology Wednesday -- probably a necessary step he had to take before ESPN would announce his punishment. Parker called Griffin a "cornball brother," among other things, during ESPN's daily embarrassing shout-fest, "First Take."

Paid suspension = Vacation.

 

I don't know man, but RGIII is a nappy headed ho

 

I'm way late to the conversation but it just occurred to me that the whole cival rights movement was all about equality and fairness. It's about a persons right to go where he wants, hang out with who he wants and date the person they want regardless of race or religion without having to put up with prejudice or being called things like "cornball brother". In essence Rob Parker is the very thing the Cival Rights generation was fighting against.

 

disrespectful *stephen a smith voice*

 

double standard with whom and what situation?

 

Only thing I could think of is the Rush Limbaugh deal...

 

rush is actually a pretty good similarity considering he was more of a guest than regular like parker. still, rush had a repuatation wasn't a sports a guy, and there were other outlying factors like he is fat or whatever. all that being said, its still a fairly close comparison

 

Russell Wilson is a married "cornball"

 

Skip Bayless said he roots for Steve Nash because Nash is white

 

First Take is a JOKE

Woohoo. ESPN takes its first step back towards respectability.
