:facepalm:

is matt cassel a QB...or a cornball QB?

he's not really down with the TDs

I knew there was a reason Pioli didn't try to draft him.

Because Pioli is a cornball GM. He's not really down with competence.

So RG3 doesn't carry enough guns, eat enough watermelon, have enough kids, and can throw accurately, that makes him not black enough?

Hm.

I didn't realize the color of RG3 was even an issue.

This has honestly gotta be one of the most racist things I've ever heard on TV, and the fact it came from a black guy makes it even worse.

ESPN needs to fire this dumbass pronto. He's an embarrassment.

Can't wait to read Whitlock's take.

And the hilarious thing...the dumbass repeated the cornball thing later in the show...trying to explain why he said it.

"I heard it at the barbershop."

Wow. People are stupid.

Only white people are racist.

Lol I hate it when people say "reverse racism."
WTF? So only white people are or can be racist? It's a racist thing to say "that's reverse racism" IMO. I used to hear black people say that all the time in classes and stuff. Crazy world.

Biggest challenge facing African-Americans these days is their own attitude.

HMMMM I THINK I MIGHT GIVE THE EDGE TO INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM ON THIS ONE

Well, duh! That's why he's so smart. pffft!

Meanwhile, KC ponders if Matt Cassel is too white.

For the ****ing win.

I wonder what Stephen A. said after that. I hated Stephen A. Smith, and I still do dislike him, but hearing him on ESPN NY there are times where I really do like the type of argument he makes. I don't know how this conversation started but I find all the questions he is asking to be not only insulting to RG3 but if I was an African American I would be furious with it. It just gives off the image that not only do "blacks" embrace the brother role but that if you aren't one of them, **** it you might as well be a white dude. Like RG3 being well-spoken is a bad thing. I don't know what the hell he was thinking talking about this stuff on national TV.

I think its made worse because of the position this guy is in. The fact that a guy in an news position, sports or not, is sitting there trying to figure out if he is more or less down with the cause just insults not only his race but honestly every part of the country that actually has a desire to not to draw lines constantly.

In before dumb ass comment about how this is just like what Rush said.

^

McNabb used to get this same sort of treatment. Pathetic.

I wonder why Vick doesn't?

Vick is a straight up thug that keeps it real. I remember when Chunky's soup wanted Vick to do a commercial and he was like DO I LIKE LIKE A MUTHA ****ER THAT EATS SOUP N' SHIT , he then tried to bite this old guy on the wrist and started barking and throwing up the Wu Tang sign.

ROFL

he ain't keepin it real n shit

Just think if he didn't have his dreads, he would be seen differently from both sides of the coin.

Robert Griffin III's dad responds to Rob Parker

8:44PM EST December 13. 2012 - ASHBURN, VA. -- Robert Griffin II said he isn't taking offense with disparaging racial comments made by an ESPN First Take commentator Thursday, because "it's not going to benefit" anyone.

Earlier in the day, during the show, commentator Rob Parker, who is black, had questioned Robert Griffin III's authenticity by asking, "Is he a brother, or is he a cornball brother?" Parker then continued his criticism of the Washington Redskins rookie quarterback:


"He's not real. OK, he's black, he kind of does the thing, but he's not really down with the cause," Parker said. "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.

"We all know he has a white fiancee. There was all this talk about how he's a Republican ... Tiger Woods was like, 'I've got black skin but don't call me black.'"

Griffin II told USA TODAY Sports he was baffled by the comments but wouldn't fire back Thursday night, even though Parker's remarks ignited the blogosphere and sparked angry social media responses. A few minutes later after his father spoke, Griffin III tweeted to supporters: "I'm thankful for a lot of things in life and one of those things is your support. Thank you."

ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys told USA TODAY Sports that Parker's comments "were inappropriate and we are evaluating our next steps."

Griffin II said his next steps were to dismiss Parker's remarks.

"He needs to define what 'one of us' is. That guy needs to define that," he said. "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.

"Robert is in really good shape on who he is, where he needs to get to in order to seek the goals he has in life ... so I don't take offense."

During his weekly news conference Wednesday, Griffin III said he didn't want to be defined by race.

"You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person you are, your character, your personality," he said. "I am an African-American in America. But I don't have to be defined by that."

RGIII's butt is a dopplerganger for Venus Williams's butt.

Cant wait to see what Rob Parker has to say about the Central Alabama Podunk Panthers high school team next year.

Rob Parker head looks like a tree stump

rg3 is the ****ing man. thst is all. oh yeah and fire parker immediately. what a racist pos

Mobb Deep thinks Rob Parker isn't black enough.

Robert Griffin III makes Wayne Brady look like Malcolm X.

:thumb:

Rob Parker must have a racist white boss who forced him to write and publish this article, just because Bob is black!

/sarcasm

Rob Parker seems cocky.

Absolutely agree.

WTF?

Yea, I guess he wants him shooting up the town?

Just in the 60's the blacks were fighting to enroll and play football in college and now D.C. has one of hottest rookie star QB's in the NFL and a brother has to criticize him? :eek:

What the **** is Parker's street cred anyways? LMAO

LMAO I'm going to go with the Thigmeister on this one, but you're not entirely wrong.

A lot of black people, the younger generation especially, are their own worst enemy. That's something they need to work on in order to advance as a community.

Never heard of him

haha

It's OK to be a racist as long as you are not white, end of story. ESPN has been promoting these libtards for sometime now.

I'm white and I think RGIII is a cornball human

I'm not down with an amazingly athletic, incredibly smart, super respectful, well put together young man, either.

That's bullshit. Why does he get to be him and I have to be me???

So only liberals are racist?

Wha?

pffft...He doesn't even have an Obamaphone.

If only I had been more Mormon, I could have been Steve Young

I guess you missed the he's even a republican comment. Let's not try and twist things out of context Mr. equal rights. Put a white republican up there saying that shit.

Again, what?

He's a ****ing moron, plain and simple. I couldn't care less about his political affiliation.

If a white guy said "Andrew Luck isn't white enough because he's got a black fiance and doesn't drive a Chevy", that guy would be just as ****ing stupid as this moron.

My point was that ESPN has no problem with libtards spouting racial or politically laces shit but they have a huge problem with conservatives saying anything. Great example Paul Azinger and Chris Fowler. You get reamed and repremended for saying Obama has played more golf than you this month but it's perfectly fine to call everyone a racist who doesn't vote for Obama or says the stupid shit this guy is saying.

Straight from the Disney handbook, Folks.

It's stupid and clearly he only did this to make a name for himself well his name is now mud. I think RG3 a heck of a qb not andrew luck good but is up there. So leve him alone Rob and go **** the horse you rode in on.

Stephen A. disagreed with Rob right after he said this stuff.

Who are you talking to with the whole folks thing? How about Keith left of Stalin Obermann. It just keeps going. To be fair it's not only ESPN how about Costas spewing his libtardedness at halftime. I would be just as pissed if they had used air time after that to promote the NRA but if anyone had done that there would have been hell to pay there too. I know your a liberal dude but give me a break.

Wait is this true? I would hope he listens to at least a little bit of country music though.

Anything less than firing this guy would be complete hypocrisy on ESPN's part.

...I agree, keeping them in the role as victims has been extremely detrimental.

With each passing year, you become more and more paranoid about being "white".

It's getting to the point where it's not even a joking matter.

Thigga please.

Thanks. It sure looked like thats the way he was going. I would have listened to him today if I knew this had happened.

That was so stupid it was offensive

You're right. It's worse.

Except the wbite guy would probably be looking for work someplace else while this guy will most likely not been be talked to about this crap.

There's really only one way to settle this. Dan Snyder needs to trade RGIII to KC for Matt Cassel and we'll take a closer look. I dream of living in a world where that logic prevails. Til then...Eff Pioli.

He said he was uncomfortable going down that road. Which, they were all pretty uncomfortable after he said that shit. He did say it shouldn't matter about the color of his skin. That no one went into anything saying they were gonna be the best black this, or the best black that. But he did start talking about RGIII's cornrows, and other shit that gave him some blackness that would indicate he's not some guy who doesn't care about his race.

First Take is really an unwatchable show.

I wonder what they call it if a Chinese guy hates someone for being black? Slant racism? Oh!

What he means"

"RGIII was not born poor, and he knows his dad. In my mind, that means he's not black."

This attitude is why LJ had so many hang-ups about being ghetto. I hope RGIII happily accepts who he is and doesn't let the jealousy of other black men get in the way.

I'm sure this dipshit was proud of Mike Vick for 'keeping it real'.

I want to see Smith's response, because he seemed annoyed by it for the same reasons.

Exactly. It's all staged arguments and stuff said for sensationalism. Can't stand that show one bit and I am not surprised in the least to see something like this said on it.

Nice....Im glad Griffen and his Dad didnt stoop to this idiots level. It serves no purpose.

Just makes me so mad....

I wanted to sell the farm for that #2 pick. Anything it took... that's how much I liked RGIII.

Its bad when Stephen Smith takes the high road. This is the guy after all that dropped the n-bomb and somehow didn't get fired not too long ago.

Stupid people being stupid.

Mike Judge is a profit. Idiocracy is happening at an alarmingly fast rate.

Nice spin. First you shouldn't deny what should be self-evident with ESPN. The point I was making actually started to turn away from racism on some levels even though that was the what the thread was posted about. By that I mean I started talking about the entire liberal agenda embraced by ESPN and others using white libtards to make my point with Olbermann and Costas. That results in you getting off topic UHHHHHGAIN to launch another unsubstantiated personal attack. It would be nice if you could just stay on subject instead of using personal attacks every time you run out of material to back your position. I don't do that to you.

And he is a Republican. That stupid cracker is just pretending to be black. Friggen poser.

So should he start fighting dogs and have a bunch baby mommas? Would that make him "black enough" for Rob Parker?

What a buffon.

Rob Parker = Real Credit to His Race

Black people are the most racist anymore. The black people seem to want to keep the racism feelings going.
Get over the past and let it go.

If ESPN doesn't fire this guy it will be setting another precident that needs to be brought out. If it isn't ok for a black person to say these things it should be ok for a white person to say these same type of things.

Yeah the HUMAN race.


hope everyone realizes the Yeah was sarcastisc.
We are all part of the HUMAN race which is more important than any color or look of another HUMAN.
