Damn, I almost feel bad for the guy. He did it to himself though. Rob Parker created a lot of controversy last month when he questioned Robert Griffin III’s “blackness” (you can read the story HERE if you need a refresher) and is now out of a job.

NFL: Rob Parker Apologizes For Asking If Robert Griffin III Is A “Cornball Brother” —Are You Buying It?!
About a week ago, ESPN’s Rob Parker questioned Robert Griffin III’s blackness on First Take. A ton of people were offended as you can imagine (you can watch the video and see what I had to say about it HERE). Well after being suspended indefinitely by ESPN, he has now released an apology on Twitter. Take a read & let us know what you think!!! GameTimeGirl
NFL: Update! ESPN’s Rob Parker Suspended For RG3 Comments
This didn’t take long. Yesterday Gametime girl did a post about ESPN analyst Rob Parker bringing up the race of Redskins quaterback RG3 and questioning how “black” he is. Seems ESPN did not like that idea being brought up on air. Read more after the jump. IamJOE357
(Video) NFL: WTH?! ESPN’s Rob Parker Asks If RG3 Is A Brother or If He’s a Cornball Brother?!
I usually get to watch ESPN’s First Take, but today I missed it cause I had things to do and I’m glad I did. I can’t stand when race becomes an issue where it shouldn’t be. It shouldn’t matter whether Robert Griffin III is white or black or purple, what race his significant other is or who he voted for. What does any of that have to do with FOOTBALL?! What matters is that the guy is a beast on the field and that he’s trying to get his team into the playoffs. How dare anyone question someone’s race! Rob Parker (sports columnist for ESPNNY.com) questioned RG3’s ‘blackness’ … SERIOUSLY?! I’m really disappointed that ESPN even had this conversation. smh.
