t hasn’t been a great 24 hours for Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III.
The rookie captain wasn’t able to finish Sunday’s playoff loss to the Seahawks after his knee buckled midway through the fourth quarter.
The Redskins were eliminated, 24-14 and questions of whether or not head coach Mike Shanahan should have pulled Griffin dominated sports pages and media Monday.
And then Rob Parker re-emerged.
Sunday morning, hours before the Redskins playoff game, the suspended ESPN host talked exclusively with WDIV-TV’s Devin Scillian on the station’s weekly community affairs program ‘Flashpoint.’
Parker said his ‘cornball brother’ comments were taken out of context and admits he was “shocked” it received national attention:
“It was never to condemn the young man,” Parker told Scillian. “RGIII is a great young man with a bright future. It was more about concerns not condemning.”

So, he is the Blackness Assessor?.......Does the title on his office door say “Black Ass”?.........
“Judge” Parker should aspire to grow up to become someone like RGIII. Robin Griffin’s “people” are the human race.
Robin = Robert
Would be appropriate.
Not quite -- He's working to improve the lives of poor people, who happen to be black, white, hispanic, asian, and native american.
Yes. A distinction without a difference. But not good enough for the race hustlers.
“Brother” Parker doesn’t know what to make of RG III. He was raised by an intact family; both of his parents were career NCOs in the. US Army who demanded excellence from their children and held them accountable. One of the guys who works on my team is also retired Army (lives in Copperas Cove) and knows the Griffins slightly. Describes them as an outstanding family and says all of the kids are cut from the same cloth as RG III, in terms of work ethic, values and dedication to academics.
If you want proof that America is becoming a post-racial society, the proof isn’t in the White House, or with the usual crop of so-called black leaders and pundits. They can’t resist the temptation to inject race in everything because it suits their agenda. Meanwhile, men like Tim Scott and Robert Griffin III transcend race by using their God-given talents to reach the pinnacle of their professions, while refusing to put themselves in any sort of racial box.
And that scares liberals like Parker to death, because it means more African-Americans who think for themselves and refuse to remain trapped on the Democratic plantation.
C’mon now! If the black community begins to value maturity, it won’t be long before they stop voting Democrat! Can’t have that!
Rob Parker reminds me of the uncles in my family that I no longer speak to. “What do you mean, ‘You’re a Conservative’ ?! You’re Jewish!” Now of course, like Rob Parker, who’s rich as hell and not exactly “down with the struggle”, they’re complete hypocrites. The only time they attend synagogue is when someone’s kid has a Bar Mitzvah. They eat pork, can’t read a word of Hebrew, and can’t find Israel on a map.
But yet, there they are, questioning my Judaism.
Annnnnnnd he out of theeeeere:

Clever editor on Wiki, but ESPN just fired Parker.
What’s really annoying is to start reading an article only to get half way thru it when it starts all over again..........Is there a problem with the cut and past function?
No, just me.........and you.......
Every day we have these hucksters intentionally shoveling this BS down our throats.
I’m getting a bit sick of it....
