ESPN -- setting back race relations a decade at a time.
When are idiots like Parker and Whitlock / Costas going to stick to sports and leave the social commentary alone? They step on land mines and display their lack of depth and intellect every time. (Note: I know Costas and Whitlock are not employed by ESPN)
Whitlock could have picked a from a number of "cultures" to pin the blame for the Kansas City tragedy and he picked the gun culture? Seriously fool!?! And Costas runs with it after apparently skimming the article?!? And he's portrayed as an intellectual giant (mostly by self) in the world of sports?!?
Have they never heard of the phrase " Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt"?
This is what gets manufactured in Detroit nowadays. Continue the decline into oblivion Mr. Parker, preach on!!

from PAXALLES via ESPN's First Take:
PAXALLES: Racist ESPN Analyst Rob Parker: RGII A Cornball Brother:
ESPN analyst Rob Parker accused Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III AKA RGIII of being a "cornball brother" - basically not black enough.
'Because that's how I - I want to find out about him. I don't know because I keep hearing these things. We all know he has a white fiance,' said Parker.
'There was all this talk about he's a Republican. There's no information at all - I'm just trying to dig deeper into why he has an issue.
'Because we did find out with Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods was like, 'I got black skin, but don't call me black.' People got a little wondering about him early on.'
