Future not bright for Eagles WR Riley Cooper

[Clayton]

Karma police. Arrest this man.

I can't say the future is bright for the Iggles now.

Every time I watch him play, I'm going to think to myself "it's that ****er guy".

You, poor poor, man you!

I'm glad the Eagles didn't release him. Cooper should have to deal with his teammates & the media for the entire season. I'm sure there are plenty of players on other teams who will try to take shots at him this season. He better be careful going over the middle.

Herm Edwards:

"Cooper couldn't be a racist or he wouldn't have made it to the NFL."

What a stupid fucking statement.

 

[David_son]

Riley Cooper statement on his inappropriate language:

“I am so ashamed and disgusted with myself. I want to apologize. I have been offensive. I have apologized to my coach, to Jeffrey Lurie, to 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.”

Translation, I was drunk but I dont go to rap concerts they should be here at a country concert.

More fake outrage from the race baiters I see. All these black players that are super outraged use the word all the time I bet. We have become such a pansy ass society.

So people here are going to imply this guy a racist because he said a bad word when he was mad?

This is just like the Kramer thing. If he was pissed off at fat people he would've called 'em fat F#$&s; if he were pissed off at an older guy he would've called him grandpa or something.

Stop milking it.

I'm not saying Cooper's a racist by any means.

Herm Edwards statement was stupid, though. Cooper or any other person for that matter can choose to be around black people and still be racist. I think Herm has "racist" confused with "bigot / Klan member"

That's a fair post.

As soon as I read this I thought of that Dave Chappelle skit with a similar theme. Is it wrong for any of us to laugh at that skit? It was very clever & funny.

Without Maclin he was going to play a lot, now...well he probably still will.

 

[mcro_rave_2001]

his future for the Eagles is okay, his future in the public eye is ruined and it's all over a damn word. People are too damn sensitive.

I understand that Michael Vick is trying to help him clan up this mess. It seems quite ironic that both Cooper and Vick may learn much about forgiveness and racial differences from this.
I am in Okinawa. The locals don't know about American predjudice. They only see our military living and working together. No black or white - all green. Does rascism still exist? Yes, it is just not allowed to play out. Team first. The same thing is happening in football. It is precisely that each player has bought into "team first" that this act is so harmful. The other players have put aside their own baggage. This is not about black and white. The word is not the issue. This is about disgracing your teammates.

I don't take anything Michael Vick says seriously. As far as I'm concerned what Vick did was worse than what Cooper did. John Butler knew what he was doing when he passed on Michael Vick.

Any white man or woman who uses the word n***er in anger is a racist.

Any white man or woman who uses the word n***er in anger is a racist.

But not a black person who says it in anger right?

What if someone 1/4 black & 3/4 white says it?

Someone who is 1/4 black, still looks black, and our society allows this to happen without consequence.

Cooper You can't say Cooper is a racist just because he said a bad word in an adolescent, school-yard manner at a concert. People say all kinds of stupid things when they get pissed off.
