Only suspended? Why not fired?

Apparently, RG3 is not fully on the democratic plantation. He is well spoken, not part of the cool scene where one earns street cred as being black enough. He should have been fired.

Mark Levin admirably went off on this racist last night over several segments.

All I can add is good for ESPN. Now finish the job.

What´s to review?? We have the tape-a ref wouldn´t have to stick his head under the instant replay hood too long to call this flagrant infraction against Parker .

"Indefinitely" should mean either forever or until Parker is used as a tackle dummy for the Redskins.

I sent ESPN an email on their "contact us" page and told them that we watch ESPN as a diversion to politics and race baiting. Rob Parker, ESPN´s ambassador, IQ of 12, must apologize and so should ESPN. Despicable.

Parker´s comments were a result of talking with his cohorts who are troubled with RGIII. He is not alone in his thinking. The suspension only serves to bury the broader racialist ugliness. Hopefully, Parker will be resentful and run his mouth some more and not let the issue disappear. We need a much larger discussion than Parker is nuts.

Is it racist to fire a racist?
The mind boggles.

Fire him. Insensitive jerk

The morons of the world like Rob Parker are a major cause of stupidity in my country.
Mr. Parker sports are about "talent" (you have none) and "drive" (yours is only bias) and respect (you have none given or received). You "racist political" commentary is
a. uncalled for.
b. unnecessary
c. stupid beyond understanding
d. has nothing to do with sports.
e. just shows your racist ideology to the world

If I was one on you employers you would be looking for employment by the end of the commentary of stupidity, maybe with the Rev "Race Baiter" Sharpton or Rev “Race Hustler” Jackson. Your limited skill would probably be a better fit in that scam field than sports.
Knowing the liberal media bias and desire for more race myths to propagandize you will probably keep you position and I will just have to find a non-racist network to get sports information in the future.

Compare to ESPN´s FIRING of Rush Limbaugh over a race-related comment.

Parker only believes MLK´s "content of one´s character and not the color of one´s skin" on MLK´s birthday. The rest of the year, Parker is fomenting and then cementing racial hatred of white´s and other black people who do not play the racist game.

Stupid is bone deep and Parker is just eaten up with it. Fire him and never allow him to be on TV again or even write for a newspaper. Words and beliefs have consequences.

The black racists want to run this kid´s career before it gets started. He´s a black Tebow. I´m not a Redskin fan by a long shot but this guy has really energized the fan base.It´s not just the fact he could be a republican,but that he speaks up for God.If you don´t tow the black line,you´re cooked. This movie with the N word used over a 100times is a disgrace also but it´s getting leftist acclaim.

The dounble standard is breath taking.

FIRE HIM NOW!

A forced apology is not an apology at all.

What cause is he supposed to be down with? I believe Robert is going for his dream and is doing it while being an awesome role model to kids and to adults.

RGIII earned his bachelor´s degree, political science major, dean´s list.
Rob Parker was speaking for the majority of blacks, however, because RGIII does not fit the ghetto rat mold.

Good first step. Now, fire him. ESPN does not need racists of any color on their staff.

I´m an old southern white lady and if my daughter wanted to marry RGIII, I´d thank God.

You see Mr. Parker, I believe in a person´s character and Griffith is a good man.

To the progs running ESPN "suspended indefinitely" means Parker will quietly sit out a penance until about February, then be back on the air.

What exactly is the ´cause´ Parker talks about?

RGIII is a very thoughtful, polite, well spoken, intelligent and considerate young man. He also happens to be one terrific athlete, perhaps as good as any has ever been previously known.

What a shame it is that RGIII doesn´t act like a ghetto thug. Therefore he must be attacked for his many admirable traits because he´s making the typical dolt look bad. Yeah right! Crawl back under your rock Parker. And please stay there !

The Democratic Party promotes racism, and at the same time, has the gall to charge repeatedly that the Republicans are racist. As far as I´m concerned, an individual is and individual, and when he tags himself with a race or any type of "ism", that shrinks him.

Brains, character, and apparently no rap sheet. I can see why RGIII is a threat.

I´m a white southern conservative. The racists Liberal Democrats would label me as racists because I would never support a liberal black politician.

But I would risk supporting RG3 to represent me as my representative or senator or president based upon his values and how he has handled this instance.

We need desperately blacks like RG3 in political leadership. Imagine how differently race relations would be today if a RG3 clone would have been elected in 2008 instead of the racist tyrant we have now.

Suspended indefinitely with pay and will be back in two weeks no doubt.

Suspended with or without pay? With pay, it´s just a nice long vacation.

Funny, I´m a white conservative guy with no problem at all with who RGIII is engaged to, yet Parker would no doubt call me the racist.

Ever heard the phrase, "Accuse others of what you do"? Somewhere in the inner regions of hell Karl Marx is smiling.

A Racist leftist being punished for making racist comments. I don´t believe it.

Hey, it´s a start!

Before the suspension I wrote to ESPN and received the following response:

"Hello, Thanks for contacting us. ESPN First Take is a debate oriented show that focuses on current and often controversial topics in sports. Our analysts are hired to share their opinions based on past experience and knowledge and we understand that not everyone will agree with their perspectives. We do value your input and your comments will be shared with our producers.

ESPN Viewer Response"

I had compared Mr. Parker´s statements and ESPN´s non-reaction with Rush Limbaugh´s "Donovan McNabb" statement and his subsequent firing by ESPN.

I asked for Mr. Parker´s firing to show that they show no favoritism.

Looks like they suspended him instead. This to me shows they are indeed playing favorites. Big surprise there.

Translation: We´re going to lay Parker low long enough for all this to blow over. When it does, we´ll reinstate him with a raise & promotion as well as his own talk show.

Fire him! He has no place as a public spokesman.

I know nothing about RGlll, except the name shows he comes from a line of two proud fathers, that named their sons after themselves .
Evidently they were good role models, making their son and grandson a thinking indivual, not just someone that wants to be defined by something that happened hundreds of years ago.
This is what our country needs and what AA children need. Instead we get hundreds of years of "playing the card".
The ones that play the card, cannot stand the ones that do not fall in line.
