Eagles Riley Cooper uses the "N Word"

[MrBates2]

PHILADELPHIA – Embarrassed Eagles receiver Riley Cooper stood fittingly with his back to a wall outside the team's training complex press room Wednesday night, apologizing for a racial epithet used after a confrontation with an African American security guard working a June 8 Kenny Chesney concert.

The six-minute, 45-second apology -- which followed a Twitter apology -- was only the beginning for Cooper, who was fined an undisclosed amount by the team and now awaits word on whether the NFL will tack on more discipline.

The receiver said he intended to apologize later to his teammates, many of whom are African American, following a 7 p.m. walk-through practice.

"It's going to be very difficult for me. I'm going to tell them, 'I'm extremely sorry,' tell them exactly what I'm telling you guys. There was a confrontation and I handled it extremely, extremely poorly,'' Cooper said to 25 reporters and six local television cameras. "This is kind of the lowest of lows. This isn't the type of person I want to be portrayed as. This isn't the type of person that I am.

"I know no one in Philadelphia is happy with me right now. I accept that. I just hope they see the true me. And accept my apology.''

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello declined to say if the league would take further discipline, adding, "The NFL stands for diversity and inclusion. Comments like this are wrong, offensive, and unacceptable."

In a video that has gone viral, Cooper said, "I will jump that fence and fight every Nigger here, bro."

At the Kenny Chesney concert? Way to pick a challenge for yourself, dude.

So, let see, most of his coworkers are African American, and he uses the N word?

Not too smart...

 

[Beco]

Only a matter of time before he is gone....this story has legs.

 

[renard_ruse]

Its about making white men bow before blacks.

Nobody would expect a black to go through all this for saying "cracker" or whatever.

Its more proof whites are in fact the victims in today's America.

Why would they care? I have to work with people who say "f**k" and "sh*t" even though those words offend me.

This whole society is ridiculous. Russia looks better and better by the day.

I remember Tony Gwinn defended John Rocker years ago. He said people say stuff, it happens. I had more respect for Gwinn than I can put words on after that.

Do you believe your own bullshit?

do you really think that cracker is equal as an insult to the "N" word?

You respect him enough that you can't even spell his name right.

Go back to fantasizing about how you can't sexually harass women because it's the only way your racist and homophobic ass could get laid.

Piece of shit.

Sharp tongue.

 

[IndieSnob]

Sharp tongue.

Not as sharp as yours, guy.

By the way, I'm sure if you were just up front about being a man to Islandman, maybe he'd pay attention to you.

My, you're in rare form tonight. Hemorrhoid flare up?

Rocker didn't say anything about African-Americans though, so Gwynn's opinion was irrelevant.

There's no such thing as "homophobic" and I'm not "racist" and I get plenty of sex, so TRIPLE FAIL.

Piece of vomit.

You're saying one racial slur is worse than another? I thought the whole point wasn't the word but the intention? Or is that no longer the case?

 

[Ramone45]

Why has this become the worst possible thing you can do? It's as though people won't be satisfied until the guy is executed. He said something stupid, he gave a sincere apology which was far more extensive than the offense required. Move on.
Now there's a bounty on his head. They want to lay him out on the field. I find that FAR more offensive than the stipid thing he said.
They tried to DESTROY Paula Deen and they want to DESTROY this guy.
BTW everyone acknowledges that the guy is NOT a racist.

I don't think real blacks like it, but they aren't the ones putting "bounties" on people. Its the whiney little pseudo-intellectual upper middle class homos, but white and black who do that kind of thing. Just like with Zimmerman, most blacks didn't like the verdict, but ordinary blacks weren't the ones trying to manufacture riots.

I'd send you a dollar to help you buy a clue, but I'm sure you'd send it to Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh, so they can buy gold or drugs....

 

[renard_ruse]

We have an Israeli, ex-IDF officer, and a Muslim activist at work . They are professional and work together no problems. There should be no reason that the players on the team can't work together and let this issue be sorted out by management off the field.

You're a good example of a whiney pseudo-intellectual middle class homo activist.

renard, would you be offended by a black person calling you a cracker?


if you, why? What would you relate the word cracker too?
