OT: Eagles WR Riley Cooper in a world of hurt

[Azlen]

He was caught on video at a Kenny Chesney concert using a racial slur that definitely will get him into some real trouble.

He's already gone on twitter and started his apology tour.

I am so ashamed and disgusted with myself. I want to apologize. I have been offensive. I have apologized to my coach, Jeffrey Lurie, and Howie roseman and to my teammates. I owe an apology to the fans and to this community. I am so ashamed, but there are no excuses. What I did was wrong and I will accept the consequences.

When I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought that this was going to be about a detached groin.

Have fun going back to the locker room at Eagles camp... #Awkward

I wonder if he'll say he's game to fight every (racial slur) in there too? I somehow doubt it.

I think he would prefer the detached groin right now.

I wonder if Riley capped any ****** like Hernandez did?

Cooper never recovered from being hit in the back of the head by the throw intended for AHern.

There was a second picture to this, the one of where the ball landed.

The only thing Racist Riley is missing is the mullet.

 

[BigRedRage]

[Russ Smith]

Clearly he needs to join the current cast of Big Brother

i find it hilarious that you could have a racist in the nfl where you are one of the only white guys in the locker room.

 

[Jim Otis]

Who knows , he may end up back in Florida and become a Neighborhood Watch Captain .

I wonder how diverse a Kenny Chesney concert is.

What a moron! Yep Marcus, that helps race relations! 2 peeps both in the wrong of a messy ugly situation...can't we all just get along?

So did he say the "er" version or the "a" version, and was he actually referring to a group of African Americans when he said it?

IMO neither is right to say even from African Americans, whom there are some who use it & think its ok.

The link has the video where he said it so you can listen for yourself. In my opinion it was definitely said in a derogatory way and not in a way that can be excused at all.

I'm so naive sometimes. I honestly believed it was older folks who thought this way--people from my generation or the generation before. I don't mean everyone in my generation obviously, just degenerates like my family and I. I can say for absolute certainty I was racist until sometime in my twenties, without even realizing it. Making jokes and having negative thoughts. It's the way you're raised, no matter who it is, because when I started analyzing it, my own behavior and thoughts, sometime in my 20's, I had no clue why I thought the way I did or said the things I did regarding race. No clue. It took years, and I mean years, to correct that behavior, but more importantly to correct those thoughts.

I'm merely relaying my own experience, pathetic as it is, but I've grown and learned. What bothers me is stupid ****'s who pretend to be tolerant but aren't in their own thoughts or own home or whatever. It's easy to put on a political face. Not so easy to open your heart and mind.

Riley is an idiot, but he shouldn't be crucified. He's a person with a mom and dad and kids just like any other human. He's just ignorant and stupid. I really don't know what his punishment should be, but he said what he said in front of thousands and now millions of people and that shouldn't be tolerated at all. In any way. The problem is everyone is crucifying him for saying it, and I think it's more important that he was thinking it.

Yeah because I'm quite sure no black players use that word.

Marcus Vick was the one who tweeted that the Cardinals roster had a bunch of "fruits" after the Kerry Rhodes allegations came out. What a hypocrite
