    I can't imagine ESPN would okay this content to be aired if they knew Parker would say something as stupid as this. Jemele Hill brings up race in completely unconnected situations, but this is next level dumb.

    Hahaha, Skip's comment made the whole thing. "What do the braids tell you?"

    Almost as bad as Parker's. Wow.

    Never heard of this Rob Parker guy (I stay away from First Take). He seems like an idiot.

    Stephen A. Smith being quiet/uncomfortable was the best part. Not because he actually was quiet for once, but because it makes you realize just how off-putting and stupid Parker's comments were. For someone on that show to basically give the perception that they don't want to be there, filming that show at that moment...(especially Screamin' A.) that says enough right there.


    Fire this clown.

    I didn't get that from his comments at all, though I don't think the media wanted a black QB to succeed and that is why McNabb got so much credit. I also believe Limbaugh is a racist. If nothing else he is scum.

    Brace yourselves... it was featured heavily on The Drudge Report today, so every news outlet will be talking about it tonight.

    If I was RGIII I'd 1, make a statement about how much an idiot Parker is and make it clear that talking about who he chooses to spend his life with makes it personal and unprofessional. Then I'd do a 1-off, humorous commercial for a company that makes cornballs to make light of it all. Then I'd run an option pass play that explodes the world.

    If they don't fire him, then I am not sure how they can fire anyone ever. He just said you aren't a real brother if you have a white fiancee. That's blatant racism.

    RG3's bio:
    -parents were in military
    - attended private Baptist school
    -top 10 in his class (so I've heard)
    -attending law school, part-time (so I've heard)
    -has known his fiance since HS and been dating before he was ultra superstar at Baylor

    As a black guy, wouldn't you be proud that he is black? His fiance chose a black guy OVER a white guy, look at it like that.

    A guy on the radio said that there are some black guys that don't like or hang out with other black guys because they wouldn't be interested in the same things and that's how RG3 is perceived. WTF? Do you think every race likes hanging out with the everyone in the same race?

    He's basically saying all black guys have to be democrat, marry black girls, and Idk not be successful?

    The big show this morning accused brandon weeden of not being a real ginger vs. andy dalton, because he's not down with the cause.



    Hey clyde, how about getting your hand out of my face for a second, just for the photo?


    The way he cautiously asked that, I was expecting Skip follow up with if he learned it from the ghetto:

    Nick's Collison's wife is a sistah and nobody would ever question his whiteness.

    What a disgrace to the white race. For that matter, RG3's wife obviously wasn't raised right. No way any daughter of mine would be marrying a black dude.

    I'm sure that would have got him fired immediately. I'm not sure they wouldn't have removed him before the show was even over.

    Only white people that would are KKK members and racists. Pretty much explains what kind of person Rob Parker is.

    BTW Collison's wife is hawt.

    Collison's wife looks like a cornball sister, which cancels out Collison being married to a black woman.

    Also, Collison is a basketball player, which means he should be married to a black woman.


    Signed,
    Rob Parker

    look, i'm not defending rob parker, i'm really not.

    sometimes you have to look at a guy like rob and where he comes from and even more particularly his age.

    i was going to say something about my brother, jerome solomon, and rob parker and i looked up rob parker's age and all three are the same age. i mention solomon because he is really close friends with my brother.

    where did my brother meet jerome, they met a burbank middle school. why were they there, especially my brother who was living in the hiram clarke area. because they were bussed there. long story short they are the last of a civil rights generation. i'm sure a lot of you have a problem with jerome's opinion's when he seems to be clearly defending a black athlete, and that's probably where it comes from.

    i have no problem with rob being suspended. i like him, i never thought he would be stupid enough to say something like this even though he might feel that way. i do understand why he does.
