PFT: ESPN commentator on RG3: “He’s kind of black, but he’s not really”

Yep. To me, this screams "well, we kind of preach controversy & edgy statements on first take, so we can't really fire this guy, but he definitely crossed the line that we haven't clearly defined for this show, so we're not going to renew his contract, even though we can't come out and explicitly state that, seeing as how we've coached him to be controversial while on First Take."
 
Rob Parker is a bad SNL skit.
 
"The NFL wants to see a successful black quarterback."

"Cornball brother."

Only one of these is a fireable offense.

Great work, ESPN. Seriously. Great work.
 
Ry,

That was Don Imus, I think when he was Asst. Equipment Manager for the Nets.

If you think about that Juggy, you'll realize that it's not actually the statement that makes it fireable or non-fireable, but the color of the skin of the person who stated it ;)
