ESPN Analyst Calls RGIII a ‘Cornball Brother’ Because He May Be a Republican
National Review Online ^ | 12/13/2012 | Andrew Johnson

Robert Griffin III is arguably the most popular man in Washington right now. The Redskins’ spectacular rookie quarterback has been winning games, fans, and headlines due to his play this season. Today, he was on the front page of the Washington Post for the third time in a week and a half.

Under increasing media scrutiny, Griffin has been clear he does not want to be defined by his race. In a news conference yesterday cited in USA Today, Griffin, an African-American, said, “For me, you don’t ever want to be defined by the color of your skin. 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.” He continued, “I am an African-American in America. That will never change. But I don’t have to be defined by that.’’

But columnist and ESPN analyst Rob Parker evidently thinks otherwise. On the network’s First Take show this morning, Parker said, “my question, which is just a straight honest question, is [Griffin] a brother, or is he a cornball brother?”

Baylor is run by its law school full of crooked venal lawyers... but you could be right anyway.

I am a Cowboy fan and I hate when they lose to the Redskins. I wish RGIII all the success in the world against other teams, but on occasion they do defeat my boys. When it does happen I would rather lose with RGIII as their QB than that a-hole Joe Theisman.

Down with the cause? A white fiance? A Republican? OHMIGAWD! One question though: who is Rob Parker? Second question: why gave the racist Parker the authority to decide who is black? Ball-less Bayliss should have run him off the show.

Someone who knows racist slang, explain “cornball” to me?

According to Urbandictionary.com, Cornball, definition #4:

a person who is not popular, looks and dresses like a dork, has book smart and no street smarts, and also does not keep it gangsta.

ESPN needs to fire Parker

The longer they keep Parker....the more racist they look

Sports Media needs to dump Political Correctness and Liberalism...nothing signals “wimp” more than some ex-athlete proselytizing Black Racist/White Guilt Liberal agendas

If the left didn’t have hate, they’d have nothing.


Good one! I think a lot of us just found a new tagline ;-)

Oh but he’s a black racist. He’s got no power. He can’t do any harm to whitey. Keeping the klan on the right race side and agaisnt the hated race, is vital to the cause and meaning of racists.

That may explain why RGIII scares the sh*t out of the half-white affirmative action Kenyan. A black man who thinks for himself.
