We were all familiar with Rob Parker’s controversial comments on RG3. He apologized for it and ESPN suspended him for 30 days. That meant that his 30-day suspension would have been up on January 12. Instead they say that his contract expired and they didn’t renew it.

This was the calling by a lot of fans to have him fired immediately after his comments. But the wording of this is so strange. If his contract was going to expire, then what’s the point of the 30-day suspension? Or was this another way of saying that they fired him without actually saying it.

Either way, it’s a tough one for Parker who has said some controversial things before. The statement says that the RG3 comments weren’t only thing evaluated, but it obviously was the main factor.

I at least hope he took his apology to heart and will be better going forward.
