  1. First I heard of it was this morning when it was the top story on Yahoo. Sorry!

    Would a white columnist get canned for this?

    Nope. But if it was a continuation of pattern of stupidity as Wahb's shown in recent weeks, you make the call...

    As usual, you guys need to quit hating on bruthas. Will admit the question could have been asked with better tact or at the worst was wrongly worded. But should Parker be fired? Hell no. Should he be discipline? Not even. Especially in a town where one of your columnist buddies just flat out made up some shit and got to keep his column. Let's move on!

    BTW,

    Someone suggested the coach should have come off the podium and punched Rob. That don't really work with black people. That's some shit he might have been able to get off on one of ya'll.

    Yo, fo real. RPark woulda just capped the mofo that jumped in his face. A brutha wit a job in MotorCity is about as common as a Rabbi in a NBA locker Room.

    Somebody just had to bring race into this. Unfuckingbelievable. I couldn't care less about the color of Rob Parker's skin. What he did was wrong and brings disgrace to our profession. It would have served him right if Marinelli had cleaned his clock.
     
  12. I had no idea he was black.
