>>ESPN will not renew its contract with commentator Rob Parker, who was suspended last month following remarks he made on “First Take” in which he questioned Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III’s “blackness.”
“Rob Parker’s contract expired at year’s end. Evaluating our needs and his work, including his recent RG III comments, we decided not to renew his deal,” an ESPN spokesperson said in a statement Tuesday.
It’s certainly a sign of civic hygiene when an odious creature like Mr. Parker is deprived of his podium. When will we be rid of Sissy Matthews, one wonders.
