    Even their own employees hate that show

    When you get past your anger over the carnival barking, the race-baiting and a hockey goon named Skip Bayless who makes his living as a low-rent sports contrarian, you simply feel bad for the rank and file at ESPN.
    Since the network suspended ESPN2 First Take panelist Rob Parker on Friday after his offensive comments about Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, I've spoken to a number of current and former ESPN employees who are tired of being associated with a program they believe is beneath the network.
    "The issue is that it becomes ESPN and not First Take when people weigh in," one longtime ESPN staffer said. "They don't say, 'First Take said this or that.' It's, 'ESPN said this or that.' I don't wish to be lumped in with that nonsense."

    Saw Hugh on the show this morning. He did not look happy to be there when they requested his presence.

    Skip and Stephan A have been known to bring up race alot in the show before Rob Parker's thing. I dont know if that makes Skip a race baiter. I personally have no problem with the show. Its probably going to be taken off the air soon tho. I dont even have a problem with what Rob Parker said tbh. Only problem I have is he stated it in public. he said is something you talk about behind closed doors.

    Just par per etc for a dumb monkey to think saying "just my personal opinion" as if anything he's ever said on there is taken any other way, and as if that is somehow a legal disclaimer that prevents ESPN from firing his ass. I see no reason to ever, ever ever (ever) discuss race on a sports talk show. It has no place, even if the athletes talk about it it's not part of the game.

    Skip went right in. "What about the braids?" Good thing Parker didn't use the N word else Skip might have broken out into plantation talk.

    Except your little monkey comment, I agree with everything else you said. Nobody wants to go a sports show to listen to ing social issues.

    Skip is a known racist and bigot himself.... made his career off fabricated Troy Aikman gay rumors in Dallas, and he's said some racist about Blake Griffin before on First Take...

    When talking football and basketball, race is going to come up. , we have HBCU schools. People aren't blind they see the differences.

    I'm fine with Skip Bayless at times, but I can't stand Stephen A. How the and why the did this guy get re-hired by ESPN? He was fired once for a reason...

He go to his all white party with his all white friends, not knowing they still call his ass a ****** (not ) behind his sellout ass back. I respect white that voice they dont like s (if its said to their face. Otherwise your a coward). Its nuttin wrong it at all. Its stupid but its their choice. Same goes blacks who hate whites or any other race. Its all stupid. But self hate like this uncle tom ass ****** rg3 is just sad!
