Caught this on ESPN while I was eating lunch today, really couldn't believe the discussion.

I think this stuff is a lot more important to people of Rob Parker's generation than it is to young guys like RGIII. Probably a good thing. Hopefully ten years from now, you'll never hear the phrase "black quarterback" again.

That is proof that stupidity does not discriminate. That is the single most ignorant, dumb, and racist thing anyone can say regardless of race.

Rob Parker--you sir are an idiot.

If ESPN were to be consistent with how they deal with these types of situations created by their employees, Rob Parker will be fired from ESPN by the end of the week.

Fire this Furious NOW!! Does he realize that he just created a scenario where Stephen A. Smith was a voice of reason in one, quietly spoken sentence at the end.


STEPHEN A. SMITH!!!!

That is the most racist, moronic, short sighted, conceited, and calculated thing I've heard in a while.

Well I did call ESPN after Skip Bayless said that white fans would turn on RGIII at some point and their spokesmen that I talked to said their guys were on the air to say controversial things. I don't really watch ESPN except for live events. I read about this elsewhere and that's how I found out about it.

Thank you. Jimmy the Greek's career disappeared the instant such racist crap spewed from his mouth... frankly, this is far worse, as it is personal.

ESPN needs to step up. Racism is racism.
