Okay, let's just keep it real....seriously, people. If you can't be man enough to at least keep it real, then please don't even bother to respond in here. Almost everyone, at one point or another, has said SOMETHING or other, during their lives, that was at least considered slightly racial towards another ethnic group.
If everyone was forced to take a lie detector test, I'm sure the percentage would be overwhelmingly staggering.

Not that I am trying to make this seem like it isnt a big deal, because it is. I am a little bit shocked of how big of a deal the media is making it. Obviously NFL players and celebrities should know by now that they need to be extremely careful of what they say in public.
I could see the NFL using this as an opportunity to make a statement by suspending Cooper a couple of games. Their wouldnt be huge outcry from the fans considering Cooper is not a big name player, but it would give them an opportunity to make a point.

I could see the NFL using this as an opportunity to make a statement by suspending Cooper a couple of games. Their wouldnt be huge outcry from the fans considering Cooper is not a big name player, but it would give them an opportunity to make a point. Well, he was probably about to become a big name player as he is/was expected to be their slot receiver filling in for Maclin. Frankly, I'm not shocked at all by how big a deal they're making of this. This is not a bar room argument. He was onstage at a large concert in South Philly, the only reason for that being he was Riley Cooper, Philadelphia Eagle. Every Eagles fan (particularly females) knows exactly who he is. It'll die down in a day about him. But I do expect a side fallout about racial sensitivity, bla bla bla, that will be a constant reminder. IDK now drunk he was, but he said he had been drinking - not that that's a great excuse (except for some *cough* Eddie *cough* lol). Anyway, he's a very tall good-looking guy, in almost an official capacity as an Eagle. He has to know that many, many eyes are on him. As ugly as the comment was, it was extremely stupid judgment. The media does slant it though. I usually like that Nicole chick on NFL AM, but she was the worst offender today, using terms like "insensitive racial comment s" and "comments and actions". In a side note, an even dumber Marcus Vick (Michael Vick's brother) decides to redirect the negative attention to Michael Vick (of all people!!!!! Like killing and torturing dogs is not as bad as the onetime slur of the 'n' word) by tweeting he's putting a $1,000 bounty on Cooper's head. sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/michael-vick-defends-riley-cooper-vick-brother-marcus-020842839.html;_ylt=A2KJ2UiyPPpRp0QA8mXQtDMDMichael Vick quickly says some of the smartest things I've seen him say. Edit: Again, this Nicole Zaloumis on NFL, just said "very racial slur s. I wanna smack her.

@ divebitch Maclin isn't a slot WR, and either is Cooper. And he wasn't on the stage.
Now about the idiotic statement. He was in the wrong and should be suspended at least 1 game. Only a matter of time til this happens again with some other athlete....everyone's filming everything.

Only a matter of time til this happens again with some other athlete....everyone's filming everything. I stand corrected. Being that Jason Avant is the slot guy, I'm just surprised he gets no more than 50-ish receptions a year. Maclin gets considerably more, so I assumed, my bad. Yeah, I know Cooper is not a slot guy at all, but I thought they might be hard-pressed to put him there with Maclin out. Still big shoes to fill. He'd/he'll certainly get his looks from Vick. Now I'm wondering if the comment would play out where Vick will do dumb stuff cuz he doesn't wanna throw to him. But Vick made some totally classy comments about forgiving him. I also thought I saw a video where Cooper was seen at the end of the stage at one point. Was I imagining things? It's happened before, so I stand corrected again. hehe Again, certainly not condoning the comment, but he was in a concert in the backyard of Financial Field stadium. Stupid in addition to wrong.

What a fing joke........ Charlie Casserly said that the Eagles may need to bring in a freakin' therapist for anyone who has an anger issue ...... Baaaaaahhaaaaaaaaa....... Cooper should also get a Emmy for his performance for being a victim. I thought he was going to fake cry.... Is there anyone that hasn't heard or said the word at least once??? Who really gives a chit...... I wasn't born in the 1800's so this BS has nothing to do with me. My interpretation of the definition is an uneducated dumbass..... I'm telling ya, the f'ers are everywhere......I truly hate the media.....

craig440just watched it 30 minutes ago, and honestly, it was not bad at all. It is just that he is "well-known", and people want the racial slurs to go away, but it will not happen if known figures continue to use them. you can easily find it with a google search if you want to watch it.

Does this remind you of the episode where Randy (Stan's Dad) says nigger on Wheel of Fortune and then everyone starts calling him the nigger-guy... and he is so upset that they call him that he gets congress to pass a law making the term nigger-guy illegal. It is really funny!
