ESPN decides not to renew Rob Parker's contract

I imagine that Jesse Jackson and/or Al Sharpton will be looking to boycott the network before the week is out:

Rob Parker, the commentator who created controversy when he questioned whether Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is a “cornball brother” because he has a white fiancee, has been fired by ESPN.

“Rob Parker’s contract expired at year end. Evaluating our needs and his work, including his recent RGIII comments, we decided not to renew,” an ESPN spokesman said in a written statement.

I'm sure he'll find work somewhere and in fact, would think that the President would be willing to make him race relations czar.

We'll wait and see.

Rumors are that Mr. Parker said to his mirror this morning, “Same ole story, the white man keeping another Brother down!”…I heard…at the barbershop…it’s just what the conversation is in the community…I’m not condemning the man…What!?!
