Rob Parker has been suspended indefinitely by ESPN because of controversial racial comments he made Thursday about Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III.

“Following yesterday’s comments Rob Parker has been suspended until further notice,” ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys said. “We are conducting a full review.”  Parker on “First Take” had asked whether RGIII is “a brother, or is he a cornball brother? … He’s not real. Okay, he’s black, he kind of does the thing, but he’s not really down with the cause. He’s not one of us. He’s kind of black, but he’s not really, like, the guy you want to hang out with because he’s off to something else.”

Robert Griffin II, Griffin’s father, told USA TODAY Sports on Thursday, “I wouldn’t say it’s racism. I would just say some people put things out there about people so they can stir things up.”

DeMaurice Smith, executive director of the NFL Players Association, told the Post in an email:

“Robert can certainly take care of himself. Nonetheless, I hope that our men and for that matter, my own kids, will never beg for authenticity from someone who can only talk about the things that other people have the courage to do. People need to be held accountable for the offensive things that they say.”

Without question.  I think Parker's statements reflected his true beliefs...and in his position, man, I lost a lot of respect for him.  I never really liked him anyway, but he crossed the line here, given his position in the national media.  

As a BLACK man, RG III represents 'us' far better than guys like Parker and Jackass Whitlock do.

Rob parker looks like an alcoholic, you know the look... glassy eyes, distant stare, slight facial bloat that shouldn't be there.

he whined about his recent divorce on the air last year, on First Take.   Awkward to say the least.  Dude's a mess.

QFT.

WTF is going on with this society? Touchy feely; this is all manipulation and distraction to get trucking ratings. No one cares.

[Hulkotron]

I like this RG3 fellow.

[240 is Back]

TNT/NBA did a video last night, of this dude on the NBA sideline trying to high-five LeBron during a game, when LeBron ran over to high-five RGIII in the stands.  

LeBron just shook hands with RG3 and returned to the play - but the dude then tried to shake RG's hand, and RG3 was a dick to him.  Pretended not to see him, with a pompous stare.   That's entirely his right not to shake hands with a fan, but he can never really claim to be a nice guy.  A lot of athletes do chat, shake hands, shoot the breeze with fans around them.  RG3 appears to be aloof, ala Kobe, which is fine.

This recent outburst is nothing new.  He had a radio show in Michigan and would rant like this often

This is probably what he means by "down with the cause".

Look at his name dipshit. MUSLIM. This is akin to saying all white people are evil. Don't be a fucking idiot posting vitriol like this and passing it off as how American Black mentality cause this is the furthest from the truth.  This is an angry, evil, scumbag. Luckily, he's dead.

[claymore]

"Down with the cause" LOL what cause is that....I should get a check and everything else for free "CAUSE" I'm black, that cause ??

[MikMaq]

About time, when was the last time a black guy got in trouble for being internally racist.

Black folk in the sixties fought for the right to say and do the thing white folk do, and now they wanna reject that. It's fucking bizarre.

[Natural Man]

it makes that nfl player even more sympathetic to me, if he truly distances himself from all the black culture and "cause". One of the very few who understood.

I just hope he ll stick with whiteys instead of black people for his whole life. That's the problem of enlighted black people and metissed people, they never know what side to pick . Think about it if you plan to create an offspring with someone of a different color, it's going to be tough for the "multicolored" offspring. But with love and faith it should be allright. Decent colored people have a right to purify themselves breeding with white people, too.  

Something tells me he will leave white girl with kids and a big check soon tho.

Please tell me more, about how a racist white guy living in quebec understands the black man.

I think that I missed the memo that clarified what exactly "down with the cause" means.

this asshole is actually telling out loud and on air what 99.9% of black people hide by hypocrisy to keep fooling the white man who feeds them and buy into their constantly self victimizing ideology. He just proved where truly lies racism in the first place: in jealous, lazy, duplicit black people that make 99.9% of their community and give a bad name to the 0.1 % that's worth it.

Art Briles is the greatest quarterback coach of all time and basically made RG3.

He will develop an NFL level quarterback every single year he coaches at Baylor just like Stephenville had a Divison 1 quarterback every year he coached high school there during the 90s.

Poly has been saying this for 4 years on this getbig so mark it down as gospel.
