Since when do we count the urban dictionary as anything relevant? Slang talk does not belong in a dictionary. Whatever the case, as I said to Oak, he used that term and his entire rant to insinuate that Griffin isn't a real black man. It's not a matter of racism, it's just plain stupid. You're now suppoed to act like everyone else to be real? Rob Parker got what he deserved.

I didn't claim it was relevant. I thouht it was funny and hit on some valid points.

If the shoe was on the other foot and he claimed a white guy was acting too black, he'd be deported, after being tarred and featherd.

He deserved to be fired.

Well, I wasn't quite sure what your angle was there. But yes, he indeed deserved to be fired.

TheOak

Yes. But no more than Peter King, Pat Yasinskas, or John Clayton.

Idiocracy and lack of professionalism do not get you fired in the world of Sports Entertainment.

Not being politically correct will get you shown the door in a heartbeat.

I see that you don't want to give it up, nor have you attempted you explain yourself for that "dude" analogy you tried to shove on me.

You have just given another bad example. Pat Yasinskas, Peter King and John Clayton are all annoying, and say things we might whole heartedly disagree with, and I certainly don't like any of them, but they at least have enough professionalism to state their opinions without calling people names, or questioning the validity of their race. You are allowed to say things that might not make a lot of sense, if you can at least make a level headed attempt to explain yourself. What Rob Parker was talking about, had nothing to do with football. It had nothing to do with anything.

I can't recall anything like this being said by any of those guys you mentioned.

Being politically incorrect WILL get you fired, yes. As I said earlier, I hate political correctness. But I also said that this went beyond PC. I say he deserved what he got, because he made a fool of himself.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
