ESPN Won't Fire Rob Parker for His RGIII Comments

[steveox]

Rob Parker will not be losing his job with ESPN for his comments calling Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III a "cornball brother," during a discussion about race. Instead, he's being suspended for 30 days before he can return to work.

Parker made his controversial comments on ESPN's First Take, which has drawn some criticism from sports blogs for inspiring the over-coverage of Tim Tebow, and for the continued employment of Skip Bayless. Parker was suspended indefinitely the day the episode aired, and issued a public apology yesterday. This morning ESPN read his apology on air on SportsCenter. Whether his suspension starts today, or is retroactive, remains unclear.

You see my point liberal networks only will fire you if your conservitive. Like Remember MSNBC fires Pat Buccanon for his racist comment about his book. And Rememember MSNBC fired Don Imus for this?

And Juan Williams got the boot from NPR for this comment

And Daisy Hernandez wont get fired for using the word GRINGO

And CBS wont fire David Letterman for this

Its a,lways the left getting free passes when they get racist or sexest but when conservitives do it the left goes nuts about it and try to get boycotts or try to get you fired. Remember Rush Limbaugh said about Sarah Flukie?

And by the way ESPN fired Rush Limbaugh for this comment

And Sean Hannity is right

The term the ESPN commentator used is not particularly racist and it's rather an eulogic term to praise an African American male who defies racial stereotypes.

cornball brother

a. An African American male who chooses not to follow the stereotype. This includes, but is not limited to, being educated, well spoken, a role model, a leader, selfless, an upstanding member of the community and above all - humble.

b. life choices include marrying white women, being republican, and not being "down with the cause".

c. a rare breed of African American males who should be praised, not chastised by their own race.

Except that he intended to degrade RG, not praise him. Adloph Reed did the same thing to the newly appointed Senator, Tim Scott and called him a GOP token. The left doesn't like it when black people don't stay in line with their politics.

Just like Nikki Haley picked Tim Scott a black republican to the Senate and the left doesnt like that

[ThirdTerm]

Nikki Haley picked the black Republican upon DeMint's recommendation, who was inspired by Scott's speech and he will have to run in the 2014 special election to keep the job and it's easy to dismiss him as an affirmative action pick but the GOP may need to bend over backwards to clear its name. Perhaps DeMint's departure from the Senate was so unexpected that there was no good candidate to replace him.
