Is Riley Cooper the one with the really hot girlfriend, or was that some other totally nondescript Eagles WR from a couple years ago? I get them all mixed up.

Eagles have fined him an undisclosed amount and it's expected that Goodell will hand out a suspension.
Marcus Vick went on Twitter and issued a $1,000 bounty to the first person to lay him out. |

There are no black people at a Kenny Chesney concert anyway, so his statement was irrelevant.

My first thought was that he used it in the general way people do to refer to everyone (still stupid, but that's the country we live in). He was apparently referencing the black security guards, though.

I'm sure his teammates will take the high road and say all is well, but that shit still has to be awkward.

Although I am curious, and I guess we'll find out as this situation plays out, what is someone's defense for using hard E-R? How do you bounce back from that?
Soft A-H you can easily bounce back from. Hard E-R though... |

We are very caught up with words. Do any of us believe that Riley Cooper wants to kill black people? He said something stupid but I don't think we need to send somebody to the gallows every time somebody gets drunk and says dumb shit. Its a really silly thing. Everybody is just looking for small stories to latch on to and blow out of proportion. Like. What are we doing?

No, I don't think he wants to kill black people.
Yes, I do think people who use the hard E-R think less of black people and are racist. |

Considering who his coworkers are, those words can easily cause distraction, specially this early in camp with a new coach, system, etc..
Brush it off if you want but its def a bonehead move and when everyone is able to shoot a video and post it online with cell phones, people in the public eye need to watch their shit.. |

That's silly. That word gets thrown around everywhere. Its on televison, its constantly in music, and its in regular use (especially by the black community). Its an easy word to summon if you're trying to piss somebody off. He got into a fight with a black security guard while he was drunk and wanted to piss the guy off so he said something he knew would sting. Not really a smart move but I don't think it implies he doesn't like black people. He trains with like 40 black people every day.
It was a dumb move but I don't think it says anything other than he turns into an asshole when he drinks |

And I think we're about to find out how well liked Riley Cooper is among the locker room depending on how quickly his teammates stick up for him, if they stick up for him at all.
If there are interviews of everyone laughing this off, then it's clear he has a good comradery and no one has considered him a racist. If they stay silent on the issue or change topics or try not to answer questions during interviews, it means it's not a guy worth standing up for. |

And don't get me wrong. I'm big on people taking responsibility for their actions. I just think the punishment should fit the crime. The media loves ruining peoples' entire lives for moments of weakness or drunken boozebabble.

I also don't see anyone calling for his job or trying to "ruin" his life. He shouldn't be suspended or cut and I don't hear anyone calling for that. If your go to move in a confrontation is to throw out a racial slur instead of the typical "asshole" or "motherfucker" or "Kris P lover", people will question you, though.

Nothing. This won't even be a story by Monday, just like it was merely a blip for Kerry Collins in his career. He's addressed it and people will move on, eventually.

First of all: It's July/August. NFL offseason is notorious for being completely utterly DEVOID OF ANYTHING INTERESTING. You think this is high-profile? You mean, compared to Aaron Hernandez?
Also, I think it speaks volumes about you as a person if the publicity of this story disgusts you more than the actual racial slur. |

NFL states they won't punish Riley Cooper mainly because the punishment by the Eagles is good enough and current CBA rules forbade dual punishments if its for the same incident.

This is what I'm talking about. Now I'm racist. You used to have to earn the title of racist. Now its just thrown around everywhere. It's so odd to me. You don't have to actually be racist or do truly racist things to be a racist. Its just another term. It distracts from truly racist people.
