Vick has paid the price for his actions and continues to show his regret at his actions. Fucking Ray Lewis at best covered for a murder and at worst was involved in it and didn't get NEAR the sanctions that Vick did.

White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed
He took our game for his own need
We fought him hard, we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell

A cutie with a pony tail? More like a tight end. *wink wink*
Don't want him dead, karma will take care of that. And for his own racist safety, off the field.
We tend to lose our compassion when Neanderthals like this guy and Chris Culliver. Ignorant fools.
These fucking "apologies" aren't worth the paper they're on.
Oh, good point.

Traditionally, college coaches have been much more tyrannical than their NFL counterparts, for obvious reasons. I think Kelly is still unsure what sort of disciplinarian he wants to be at this level.

I completely agree with that assessment.
The LAST person on earth that wanted to see this happen is Chip Kelly .. who already has to walk in Andy Reid's shoes. Now, the players, the media, fans, and everybody else is going to be staring at him closely to see how he handles this.

Is there no slur you won't justify by playing the "politically correct" card?

:0) I'm betting those were his exact words.

Dead, no. But going to sensitivity training is just a slap on the wrist. He spends a few hours with counselors and then goes right back to getting the big bucks.
Some punishment. His racism is ingrained and his viewpoint isn't going to be changed overnight, if at all, by a little bit of instruction.

What kind of "punishment" do you think he should get?

Nobody said he shouldn't have the freedom to be an a$$hole. Frankly, I welcome the schmuck and his comment. It's a big help in sorting out racists without me spending my time on it.

Receiver Who Used Slur Takes Leave Amid Uproar
PHILADELPHIA — As a furor escalated over the use of a racial epithet by Eagles receiver Riley Cooper, and Philadelphia’s mayor criticized the team for issuing no punishment beyond a fine, Cooper took an indefinite leave Friday to seek counseling.
Michael A. Nutter, Philadelphia’s mayor, called the receiver’s remarks “repugnant, insensitive and ignorant.”
“This incident is a disgrace and cannot be excused by just paying a fine, as if it were a parking ticket,” Nutter, who is black, said in a statement.
Chip Kelly, the Eagles’ first-year coach, said the team planned for Cooper to return. But some of Cooper’s teammates have expressed stunned indignation at his behavior. And Nutter’s remarks seemed certain to add pressure on the Eagles to part ways with the receiver.
Had this incident involved a city official instead of an athlete, Nutter said, “I would insist on a suspension at a minimum and would seriously have to evaluate terminating such an individual.”
At a Kenny Chesney concert here in June, Cooper said he had been drinking when he argued with an African-American security guard and used a racial slur in threatening to fight every black person in sight.
After video of the incident surfaced this week, Cooper apologized to his teammates. The Eagles issued a fine of an undisclosed amount. The N.F.L. said it would take no further action.
On Friday, Cooper left the team for unspecified counseling.
“My actions were inexcusable,” Cooper, 25, said in a statement, adding that recent days had been “incredibly difficult for me. The more I think about what I did, the more disgusted I get. I keep trying to figure out how I could have said something so repulsive, and what I can do to make things better.”
He added that while team officials and his teammates had been supportive, “I also realize that there are people who will have a tough time forgiving me for what I have done.”
Nutter said that while Cooper had apologized and taken responsibility for his actions, the Eagles’ punishment of a fine “falls short of a serious recognition of just how offensive and hurtful these comments are to African-Americans and other people of good conscience who fight discrimination on many fronts.”

Quarterback Michael Vick said that it was important to focus on football and that a plan had been formed to help Cooper “become one of the guys again.”
Michael Vick may be the only friend he has left on the team.

What a pathetic display by the race hustlers.
I wish Riley Cooper would tell em all to fuck off. The blacks of the 60s endured some major shit to beat back the democrat party and now today's blacks can't even hear the word nigger without kvetching.
All cooper needs to do is say he thinks Zimmerman is guilt, profess to be pro abortion and all will be forgiven
Clinton rapes
Weiner tapes
Spitzer loves a Ho
Kennedy kills
Robert KKK Byrd
All of them forgiven by dems and given a pass by BAC panther.
