Rush should have [never] been [hired] fired.
Bayless should be fired, mostly for being an idiot, and a bit of race baiting.
This guy, whose name I don't even remember and am too lazy to look up, should have been fired already.
Racism is racism is racism. This man should have known better.

This dude is a whack and he is dangerous. Whoever RG3 tends to love, hang out with, marry it's none of our business. The fact that this "black" dude had the nerve to get up and make these comments is amazing that after all we as a race have had to deal with that this fool would even say these things. I mean who is this dude anyway I have never heard of him and rather than to worry, comment about RG3 he needs to worry about himself. I mean brother, cornball brother, down for the cause? WTF?? I personally think this dude smoked too much PCP and is stuck in 1984. No black people that I know even use those words anymore..........

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.
To quote En Vogue, "Free your mind and the rest will follow. Be color blind. Don't be so shallow."

This type of BS reporting is really not much of a surprise - there is a certain section of the press/media that needs to be controversial
It's just the way it is - this is not going to change ... and worse - reacting to it is part of the idiot's plan
I'm moving on - we have a lot of other topics to enjoy
this is trash

I'm shocked,
shocked that this happened on First Take.
What a PR softball for RGIII, as if he needed any additional help in making people root for him.
Good riddance to what's-his-face who made the comment. I only wish ESPN would follow up by burning the rest of the show to the ground.

I stopped watching BSPN a long time ago.
And Rob Parker is an a** clown.

When morons talk trash, I try not to pay them much attention - it makes me feel dirty.

If this keeps up the US Department of Labor will be after Robert Griffin III, as well
On Sunday he basically destroys the Ravens and causes the OC, Cam Cameron to lose his job ..
and now,
this poor ESPN reporter is just trying to do his job and report on an ugly potential 'scenario' - AND - we now hear, he's let go
OH MY - when will it all stop

Glad to see ESPN suspend this guy. I just cannot fathom what gives this person (or anyone) the right or duty to question whether someone is authentic or not.
Mediots should be praising young, smart, talented....and black....QB's like RGIII and Wilson. They are setting a fine example for how to be successful and act like a responsible adult. That is a message that needs to be delievered especially in the wake of the many recent tradegies in the NFL.

As long as we describe ourselves by our color... we will never stop identifying others by their color. As long as we identify others by their color, we will endure racism.

I hope instead that he learns from this and is able to stop contributing to holding the American people in their racist history , if not actually start to help us move forward.

my error - I thought this idiot was fired and I think he should be ...
but no - he's just been suspended - I understand it's because the fact is that this show "First Take" is all about controversy so in effect he was just doing his job
- I NEVER watch BS shows like this because the whole premise is to 'create a story' - it's the old bad press is actually good
bunch of losers and anyone that watches is just as bad
