    Rob Parker Fired After RGIII Comments

    the guy was a writer here for the detroit free press years ago and was fired for the same shit. i guess he will never learn. lost a nice paying cushy espn job.

    This can be read as ESPN thinking Rob Parker is "too black".

    Parker has been pushing the envelope (over the edge I may add) several times in the past.
    I am sure he's had a 'talking to' in the past as well.

    Parker is nothing but a race baiter, good for him, good luck getting another gig dude, this is no Harold Reynolds deal here.

    Reynolds got a bad rap at ESPN, MLBTV snapped him up in a heart beat, and is well respected by everybody there.
    Parker now has that 'cancer' tag next to him now.

    I watched this on ESPN the day it aired. I thought the things he said were totally asinine. I didn't think it was that serious of a offense tho. I never liked him..corny and too fugly to be on TV. Funny Skip and Stephen A tend to push the envelope on First Take. They know that gets ratings...but they are smart enough to not touch race issues with a ten foot pole.
