ESPN suspends Rob Parker 30 days for RG3 comments

NFL ^

[chessplayer]

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

[chessplayer]

I KNEW they wouldn't fire him despite what he said being FAR worse than what Limbaugh said. And they aren't giving out any details. For all we know they might still pay him during the suspension.

[V_TWIN]

Why, he’s “color coded” against being terminated dontchaknow!

[EEGator]

If it was a white commentator in reverse roles, he would be fired and blackballed. “We all know Tom Brady has a black fiancee, and he might be a Democrat. I’m not sure if he’s down for our cause. He’s a wigger...”

[ssaftler]

I’m guessing that Parker was due for a vacation until mid-January anyhow on ESPN. So, they “suspend” him, they look like disciplinarians, and the sheeple are satisfied.

Dana Jacobson was recently employed as a radio sports talk show host. Remember her?

See Jimmy the Greek, Howard Cosell, Rush Limbaugh. Double standard? Nah.

ESPN, the home of the perpetual score givers, over and over and over and over . . . .

[Zuben Elgenubi]

I want ala carte cable, as I’m paying $5/month to Disney so they can put these a-holes on ESPN which I don’t watch anyways.

[hal ogen]

The commentator is a racist pig. He should be terminated.

[junta]

ESPN and their anti-white biases suck, damn shame young men especially young white men watch and listen to these clowns. The sports cult invented to keep males in adolesence for life.

[T-Bird45]

Yup, a bunch of nutless wonders @ ESPN. I’m just glad my favorite basketball commentator, Doug Gottlieb, moved over to CBS Sports.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Meanwhile, Rush was kicked out for good for making the honest and accurate comment(which had no racism undertone compared to this jackass’s blatantly racist comments) that an average QB was being heralded by the MSM because of his race.

[BlueStateRightist]

Key difference: We live in the post-Obama World, and the Leftists who run ESPN and many of their black commentators agree with Parker. Always hard to discipline an ally who’s for the “cause”. Now if Parker had called out RG3 positively for being a “great conservative” who married a white woman, then he’d be fired.

[dirtymac]

Of course he kept his job. He is black and liberal, you know living on the plantation.

Rush Limbaugh makes and accurate and correct statement about a mediocre quarterback that is being pushed and promoted because he is black and Rush gets run out of town.

I am sick of listening to these dumb asses that they give a microphone.

If you mean the crawl at the bottom of the screen, I agree - irritating! I think CBS does it too ... non-stop.
It got so bad I cut some black paper into a one inch strip and taped it across the bottom of my screen.

Would love to see RG3 kick this dudes bigoted ass!!!!!!

RG’s father had a priceless quote about how his son doesn’t need to prove his authenticity as a black man to someone who only sits and talks about what other men have the actual courage to go out and do.

He pretty well captured the life of a “sports commentator,” with a few notable exceptions.

Actually I was speaking about ESPN radio as I do not have cable. Almost non-stop score giving on radio with an occasional interview thrown in.
