Rob Parker Resigns

[Fool]

On December 21, 2008, at a press conference following the Lions' 42-7 loss to the New Orleans Saints, Parker addressed a question Lions head coach Rod Marinelli about Lions defensive coordinator Joe Barry, Marinelli's son-in-law, inquiring whether Marinelli wished that his daughter had "married a better defensive coordinator."[3] The question was criticized as unprofessional and inappropriate. The next day, Parker wrote that the comment was "an attempt at humor" and not a malicious attack.[4] Parker wrote no further columns for the Detroit News, nor did he attend any press conferences, following the incident. On January 6, 2009, the Detroit News announced that Parker had resigned from the newspaper the previous week.[5]

I hate how close re-sign and resign are to each other.
(Fool owns for stepping up)

I'm proud that this eventually took off, even if it was just on a small scale.
