I don't agree with Rob Parker, but thats some bullshyt

 

[arlowpear]

Funny cuz they didn't suspend "Martin Luther c00n Jr." Mike Greenberg.....

It wasn't bullshyt. It was a fair punishment. He didn't lose his jobs for the foolish statement he cited.

Length?

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

I'm not happy he got suspended. I would of felt better if white people at espn are held to the same accord.

They should of given him a good five minutes to talk his way around what he said and then give a back handed apology like Dan Patrick did.

 

[mastermind]

Length?

indefinite suspension

he is probably fired, tbh

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

A case of 'Cism on c00n crime...

Guy is a fukkin idiot anyway. To the bushes, fakkit ------>

 

[CHICAGO]

ESPN SET THAT nikka UP WITH THE OKE-DOKE
"HERES YOUR TALKING POINTS FOR THE DAY"

"SORRY YOU WENT TO FAR WITH THE CORNBALL COMMENT,
WE GOTTA PUT YOU DOWN"

“For me, you don’t ever want to be defined by the color of your skin,” Griffin said at the end of Wednesday’s post-practice news conference in reference to a question about Martin Luther King, Jr., via USA Today. “You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. That’s what I’ve tried to go out and do.

“I am an African-American in America. That will never change. But I don’t have to be defined by that.”

If this is the full context, I don't see what RGIII said wrong

I'm with @CHICAGO, they sent Rob Park up for that one

And I'm glad Screamin' A. started off "I'm uncomfortable,"

I'm happy race doesn't get ignored on First Take, but, before I stopped watchin', they were gettin' ridiculous with it

Skip playin' the cut: " What does his braids say to you?"

This "black enough" issue will continue to pop up, in society, until black ppl, we, stop lookin' at ourselves as a monolith

Half the stuff considered "black" (what we're supposed to eat, how we're supposed to talk, who we're supposed to hang with, our political affiliation, etc.) makes a brotha' like me, not wanna be considered "black"

 

[the bossman]

ESPN wanted him to say the shyt he said. He can't just come up with talking points on his own for the day. He simply fell for the okie doke. The producers told him to take it there cause they knew the backlash that would come if it came from someoneo white like skip bayless. They not gonna fire parker, they just gonna have him suspended till everyone calms down

Exactly. Why would you bring up a topic like that and expect a politically correct answer every time. My man was set up for that one but

I have a feeling he is fired.


the suspension is indefinite. They may just pay dude the rest of his contract and then tell him to kick rocks.

This doesnt solve the race baiting of that show, but its made white people happy.
