FS1 personality Rob Parker is one of Boston's biggest critics. Over the last few years, he's tossed verbal bombs towards the Patriots, Tom Brady and the city itself.
Finally, on Tuesday, he defended his words in an interview with OMF.
While the interview started off with banter about the Patriots' loss to the Jaguars Sunday –– Parker gloated about Jacksonville's win on Twitter and challenged WEEI to book him as a guest –– the bulk of the conversation centered around Parker's controversial claim that Boston is the "most racist sports city in America." When asked to defend himself, Parker cited several racial incidents, including Canadiens forward P.K. Subban receiving racist tweets from purported Boston fans after a playoff series and Adam Jones saying he was called the n-word at Fenway Park.
Parker, who previously covered the Pistons for the Detroit Free Press, relayed a story about his own experience at a Boston restaurant, where he felt like he was denied service because of his race.
Towards the end of the interview, Christian Fauria, a Los Angeles native, pressed Parker on why Boston has a worse rep than other cities across the country –– including LA, home of the Watts riots and Rodney King beating. Parker returned to the racial history of the city.
