    RG3 can quite possibly do more for the African-American community than any athlete, or anyone period, and this is how some are acting. Pathetic.

    This is RG3 we are talking about. Not some square or a Mike Tirico type(Even that's not fair), what more do you want? Ridiculous.

    A bit longer version of the video, they start talking about how his braids make him more ghetto. Stephen A even spits some sense into the convo at the end.

    Mike Tirico was born in Ann Arbor, MI and resides there now with his wife and family (he has season tickets for Detroit Tigers games and I've seen him there many times). He is not known for making racially incendiary remarks, but there is a rumor (supported by an unauthorized ESPN biography) that he was suspended for a short time for sexual harassment.
    Mike Tirico would destroy you

    Yeah, because they are a minority at their position.

    Same goes for "black QB"

    any other nuggets of wisdom?

    Dude is a cornball himself. I just got in an argument at work yesterday about Kobe. Kobe is not that likable but he his hated in the hood. I basically said he would be so loved if he was from the hood like Iverson. I'm black this is disturbing to me. Same thing with rappers out there with college degree pretending to be ignorant to be accepted. Crab in a bucket mentality. First Take is ass cheeks since Jay Crawford left. I like Skip and Stephen. A but the new chick is useless besides her good looks.

    I could go on for quite some time on how much this disturbs me, but I'll just ask - what do you guys think. Would especially like to hear from some African-American posters.
    People weren't such sensitive vaginas about race 25 years ago

    I find the part I put in bold to be racist. Why does the African American community need an athlete to do something FOR them? And why is an athlete the only one that can do whatever needs to be done?

    I think it's racist for you to assume you know, and can speak for, the entire African American community and I find it to be racist to think they need RG3 in order to survive the racist society that you think we live in. They have been getting along without him for 100's of years pal. And RG3 is your answer to racism, he's your hero?? Go open a history book and read about MLK you sad sack of shit.

    Black president and still people act like slavery was yesterday..unreal

    Would you like a tampon for that vagina

    Parker is right. RG3 isn't black enough because he didn't kill his best friend/teammate from drunk driving or he didn't shoot his girlfriend/mother of his 3 month old baby then shoot himself all within 1 week apart. Being black enough is a much bigger issue then killing innocent bystanders.

    i get where he is coming from. but the guy always makes these weird statements to get attention. like he did in the lions post game asking the coach some personal question.

    i never had a problem with hill, i think she is one of the smartest people at espn. i never can stand skip, the guy is such a big tool. but i guess thats what make people watch him.
