I hope RGIII continues to do what got him this far and becomes a role model for all kids, black or white.

He's a class act

Funniest thing is how Parker could sit there as a journalist and say that being Republican makes one less black...most obsurd thing ive ever heard

I want the next topic to be questioning Jason Williams whiteness

this really pissed me off for some reason. parker and likeminded people basically say black people should have the same beliefs and whatnot, but then cry racism whenever a stereotype is brought up.

Parker Suspended By ESPN


that article brings up a good point...why did they re-air this episode if they didn't like what he said?

did he really? I'd love to hear it? I get tired of his fixation with hating ESPN, but they sure as hell deserve it for this.

Has 5A or anyone else defined what "the cause" is?

Im watching the replay of his show on Audience

He keeps saying "I dont want this to dominate the show because thats what they want but.."

Basically saying ESPN sent out a memo saying RGIII is the new Tebow and when all else fails, go RGIII but he has no clue how Rob Parker went there. "When Skip Bayless and SOS are cringing, theres a problem"

A good line he keeps saying is "They are dictating sports, not covering them"


He also told an insanly awkward story about OJ asking him if he thought he killed the two people

Is this episode of First Take online?

ESPN didn't upload that day's postcast and I want to see more than 1 minute crap quality clip on youtube. Im interested in what lead up to that rant and the reactions taht followed.

What's your point? Should this guy be crucified?

Just ignore the idiot saying idiotic things and don't give him any more attention. That's the right way to go, regardless of what race the idiot is.


Exactly. I know ESPN reportedly has already suspended him while they proceed with an "investigation".

It sucks that the video cut away before Stephen A's response. It looked like he was about to disagree.


From what they said on the Dan Patrick show, it looked as if Stephen A. and Skip were cringing the entire time while Parker went on his idiotic rant.

All that show does is put forth troll opinions to see if they can get headlines and twitter trends. Mission accomplished.

I'm down for whatever cause is right. Na I'm more of a NCAA/COD type.

I think the overall mindset some of them seem to have, that you have act a certain way to be considered black is the most disappointing them. Forming your own opinions and being open minded enough to marry outside of your own race= not black apparently

I think Parker should be fired, but not for these comments. Mainly because he sucks and is terrible at his job.
