Robert Griffin III is arguably the most popular man in Washington right now. The Redskins’ spectacular rookie quarterback has been winning games, fans, and headlines due to his play this season. Today, he was on the front page of the Washington Post for the third time in a week and a half.
Under increasing media scrutiny, Griffin has been clear he does not want to be defined by his race. In a news conference yesterday cited in USA Today, Griffin, an African-American, said, “For me, you don’t ever want to be defined by the color of your skin. You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. That’s what I’ve tried to go out and do.” He continued, “I am an African-American in America. That will never change. But I don’t have to be defined by that.’’
But columnist and ESPN analyst Rob Parker evidently thinks otherwise. On the network’s First Take show this morning, Parker said, “my question, which is just a straight honest question, is [Griffin] a brother, or is he a cornball brother?”

Call him what they like...I’m afraid he is going to dismantle my beloved Browns come Sunday.

Someone who knows racist slang, explain “cornball” to me? Is it the new “c-word”?
I figured he might be a Republican because he’s a pretty dang good quarterback. He’d probably make a crummy “cornhole” ANALyst like Parker on ESPN though.
I think “cornball” has replaced “Uncle Tom.”
ESPN, by all accounts, the Sports version of MSNBC.
If the left didn’t have hate, they’d have nothing.
Is RG really a republican or is he guessing?
Arizona would dismantle the Browns this week... if
ESPN’s Rob Parker dropped a bombshell today when he called NFL rookie star and MVP candidate Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III a “cornball brother.” That means, according to Parker, that RGIII isn’t a real black person, and that he might not be “one of us” or “down for the cause.”
“down for the cause.”
What exactly is this cause he speaks of?
Struggle ?
To continue struggling ?
If Parker were “down for the cause” maybe he should quit his job and go on welfare.
This guy, Parker, is a racist piece of crap and should be fired right now. And I’m an Eagles fan and hate the Redskins.
Why should I care if a cornholio brother calls another brother a cornball brother?
I guess ESPN will have to fire him like they did with Rush Limbaugh, whej he said some things considered racially charged.
My advise is to quit listening to these corrupt, hypocritical, no-minds. They add no value to the game of football.
Limbaugh quit.
ESPN & Rob Parker are Racists Bullys.
RG3 is off the reservation. He graduated in 3 tears and has 2 masters degrees. This jackass could’nt load a shot gun without blowing his nose off. RG3 could be President and I predict that is where he is going!! You don’t go to BAYLOR if you are a communist. You go to UT!!
If you’re an Eagles fan you have plenty of problems of your own.
Multiple bastard children? Domestic violence? High dropout rates?
