If You Guys Are Truly Offended By the RG3/Rob Parker Situation

[NYC Rebel]

Could it be something to do with the fact that this is a public loosely mediated forum free to a wide variety of juvenile ideas versus the corporate responsibility which should restrict ESPN from broadcasting such dimwitted #fukkery ?

Close the thread.

If niqqas can't tell the difference, they're just posting for the sake of going against the grain.

I laugh when people talk about Espn's "responsibility" as if they were MSNBC or CNN. Entertainment and Sports Programming Network. ESPN is there to entertain you. It's a TV network not a news station. ESPN has no more journalistic responsibility or integrity than Comedy Central.

I notice that a lot of blacks that offended are those that disregard any sort of ethnic responsibility or kinship....

I don't give a fukk if it's "old fashioned" or whatever. Some bruthas aren't down. This doesn't mean that I agree with Parker specifically on RG3...but this whole thing seems to have more to do with ESPN tossing "the barbershop conversation" under the bus then anything else. First Take loves talking that bullshyt, but they clearly ain't bout it.

Whites seem to HATE it when blacks judge each other based on racial affinity. Honest to god, whites seem to dislike hearing one black person call another an uncle tom more than they hate us saying some racial shyt about them.

they are journalist. If you ask everyone of those idiots they parrot on there, they would say they are journalists.

What a chicken shyt excuse. ESPN has consistently held itself to a standard where they've self imposed punishments onto employees who stepped out of bound. The term "entertainment" does not absolve reckless stupidity

It's a well known fact that journalistic integrity goes out the window once you become an on-air personality at ESPN. Anyone who does, goes there for the recognition, not because they have a sparkling reputation for high standards in journalism. This is an entity whose "journalists" routinely plagiarize from Wikipedia. Are yall serious?

*Jay-Z voice* It's only entertainment

You ever been up to Bristol? They punish employees who get found out publicly. The shyt that goes on behind the scenes at ESPN are hardly examples of holding itself to a "standard". Trust me.

IF ESPN was interested in integrity people like Skip Bayless wouldn't even be on the air. ESPN is interested in one thing, money. Yes, they'll throw Rob Parker under the bus for this, but you think they don't like the extra attention and possible ratings because of this? Stop being so naive.

The use of the word "c00n" is easily the worst trend on this site.

Dudes saying idiotic raced based things on here: internet trolls and attention whores.
Dudes saying idiotic raced based things on tv: real life trolls and attention whores.

And whining about ESPN's lack of journalistic integrity and professionalism is like criticizing Jersey Shore for not being a documentary. LOL at trying to hold these guys' feet to the fire when they don't even attempt to hide what they're doing.

 

[prophecypro]

ESPN tried to be put some social topic spin on it, failed and are trying to backtrack by suspending him. Hes a fool for bringing it up but at the same time, Im surprised it was cleared in the producers meeting beforehand when they discuss the topics of the day.

The only problem I have with the whole thing is the whole barbershop thing. Using the barbershop as a metaphor for the black community in 2012 is tired.Besides that I could give a fukk what Parker thinks or that RG3 acts like a Tom(which he does). Anyone feeling so offended by this situation must live a good life to get worked up over something so insignificant.

 

[courtdog]

Ethered? Look at my daps compared to yours and those that agree with you...lol. Your last 2 posts make it clear you don't even know if I agree with Parker or not.

You, and a couple of others in this thread, have made it known that you support this behavior. It's a free country and if being a degenerate is what some want then go right ahead.

Oh so I'm a degenerate now?
This fakkit said "Look at my daps" nikka... Did you not see the replies? Like, your serious?
Wow, your a danger to your environment. You just gonna act like you didn't see the majority of ppl saying you sound dumb as shyt
If thats what helps you get thru the e-day...

Tell you what, show me when he acts like a c00nball Brotha. Cuz if you can't, then you are Captain Co-c00n for sayin some shyt you can't even back up...

So, the question: is RG3 a cornball?

 

[rantanamo]

do people even know what an Uncle Tom means these days?

 

[Tommy Knocks]

thought cornball was the black version of calling someone a nerd or a square, unhip or whatever.
