Lost mad respect for Rob Parker with his comments on RGIII. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-sh...8822--nfl.html …

Regardless of a person's skin color they should be accepted for being themselves not trying to be someone else

Good for Patric. More black athletes need to speak out against this guy.

Here were Parker's words about RGIII when on the show "First Take."

"I've talked to some people in Washington, D.C. Some people in [Griffin's] press conferences. Some people I've known for a long time. My question, which is just a straight, honest question, is ... is he a 'brother,' or is he a cornball 'brother?' He's not really ... he's black, but he's not really down with the cause. He's not one of us. He's kind of black, but he's not really like the guy you'd want to hang out with. I just want to find out about him. I don't know, because I keep hearing these things. He has a white fiancé, people talking about that he's a Republican ... there's no information at all. I'm just trying to dig deeper into why he has an issue. Tiger Woods was like, 'I have black skin, but don't call me black.' People wondered about Tiger Woods early on -- about him."

Note: I put "OT" because this isn't really a Patric Young story. If its not appropriate for NBN just move it.

I didn't know there was mad respect for Parker to lose, but yeah, kudos to Pat for this.

They are discussing this over on Too Hot and I am very hesitant to leave it up over here. NBN is strictly a bb forum, but we will see how it goes for a little bit.

On second thought I am going to close it down. If you wish to discuss this I am providing a link to the topic on THFSG.
