ESPN's Rob Parker wonders if RGIII is 'not one of us' - SBNation.com

That alone should get him fired. Hell, they've fired people for saying lesser things, and the fact that Stephen A. Smith came behind him and said the following says it all....

"I'm uncomfortable with where we just went. RGIII, the ethnicity, the color of his fiance is none of our business, it's irrelevant, he can live his life any way he chooses... I don't judge someone's blackness based on those types of things."

I'll be disappointed severely if ESPN allows this man to retain his job after this crap.

Well Stephen A. Smith still has a job, so don't get your hopes up about some kind of action.

ESPN and the race card go together like PB & J. It never ends.

So how the hell do they know RG3 is Republican?

That doesn't make you an automatic Republican. If that's what he's basing that off of, he's retarded.

Good question. He was a political science major and wants to get his law degree. That's about all I have heard, never heard him say I'm a republican. So what if he is... I am an independent who cares??

He is the Washington Redskins QB, nothing else really matters to me!

That my basic feeling too, but it seems odd that someone is considered inherently less black based off the way they vote.

Rob Parker: Comments On Robert Griffin III Were Uncalled For

Cornball brother...i mean he should be fired. If I was RG3, id boycott everything ESPN

[Chico23231]

Oh no, I just read Skip Bayless response to Rob Parker question/statement:

"Bayless, never content to let someone else have the last infantile, stupid remark, upped the ante with this question: "What do RG3's braids say to you?"

Firstdown-I'm guessing you're trying to be funny

Chico-Skip should have left it alone

NC-Not sure what's going to happen, but from what I've heard just talking to some friends there....people are really. really pissed. Stephen A. (among others) was livid after the show

I mean, I dont know how to respond to that comment other than "you must be kidding me, right", but Skip best reponse is "what about the braids?"

Im glad Stephen A was pissed, he should be...that is the proper response

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

You guys need to watch it if you want to comment on this issue. You are only getting bits and pieces from the articles posted, just like everyone on First Take not knowin the context or even understanding of the meaning of what RG III was even saying.

That was one of the worst all around segements of that show I have ever seen ( know that I have a very small sampling of first take ). That took something that was not a big deal in RG III presser and made it into something completely off base of what the guys was saying.

It was pretty infruriated by what they were implying the whole show.

[SmootSmack]

I'd be surprised if he's fired though

[SmootSmack]

But hey, the "good news" is First Take is talking about RG3 non-stop these days!
