Robert Griffin III refuses to be defined by race
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/redskins/2012/12/12/robert-griffin-iii-washington-redskins-race/1765701/
Griffin acknowledged his appreciation for black Washington Redskins fans proud of his transformative debut season -- and noted how he hopes to erase lingering stereotypes concerning African-American quarterbacks.
"For me, you don't ever want to be defined by the color of your skin,'' Griffin said at the end of Wednesday's post-practice news conference in reference to a question about Martin Luther King, Jr. "You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. That's what I've tried to go out and do.
"I am an African-American in America. That will never change. But I don't have to be defined by that.''
My respect for RG3 went up even more. I respect Griffin. Apparently some have their panty up a wad over this.

I hope he sticks with it. What the hell is wrong with some people?

Liberal or conservative, good on him. I don't care for the Redskins one way or another, but if this is true, I'm now an RGIII fan.
And screw Rob Parker with a pineapple.

Rob Parker is and always has been a racist ****head.He has lost more jobs in broadcasting in this state than any person i have ever seen. Why Espn hired his stupid ass is a mystery to me.Its not like his history isnt known.

Liberals look at EVERYThing through the prisim of race, sexual orientation or gender. Daily life is nothing but pure political faire to them.
They long ago just stopped looking at someone as a person.

I'm waiting for Tom Jackson and Chris Berman to be as outrages and embarrassed about this case of racism as they were about what Rush...quite accurately I might add...said about McNabb and what RGIII seems to agree with.

Because they're a bunch of CT liberal douches. Look no further than the fact they had Olbertard on their payroll for how many years?
-
Parker has been suspended. I'm on the opposite side of RG3 this Sunday but he is right to say what he said.
-
Maybe there is some hope concerning the FALSE charge of racism which is another reason the big "O" got elected.

You mean he's more interested in loving the woman of his life than making a political statement?
No wonder liberals hate him.
