No where in that article does it mention this fact,

Williams used the dreaded N word to Cooper.

I'm not a N****r, you mess with
. I feel foolish disguising a word when everyone knows what that word is.

Who cares about the fact you mention?

What Williams said 2 months ago.

The Eagles immediately fined Cooper after the incident, which happened in June, and went public on July 31. A few days later, he left the team for sensitivity training. At that time, Williams said he had a problem not only with Cooper, but anyone who uses the word.

''Nobody should say it,'' Williams said. ''I don't care if you white, black, blue, green or purple. The hip-hop culture uses the word and has de-emphasized it.

You need to go back and see what our ancestors did to try and rid themselves of that word.''

Hah. I guess heat of the moment blurts do count for something. Hah.

Oops. Any word yet on whether Cooper ever went to "counseling?"

Yeah and "mess" with is being a bit kind while keeping with the spirit of the message.

I guess that word has no place in society - unless you use it to describe yourself after trying to punch through a teamates helmet
