Should Cooper have been fined for the slur?

Don't get me wrong, I think he's a giant douche but come on. He's already getting destroyed over this in the media but I'm hearing espn asking if the Eagles did enough? Do they want suspensions and him kicked off the team over a word? Not surprised this is getting blown up though, sadly.
Eta: He has been fined an unknown amount by the Eagles. No link but they have been saying this on espn for about an hour now.

Are you asking us what the media wants to happen?
I don't understand your question

Fined? For saying a word?
He wasn't at an NFL event conducting NFL business so I say no

Considering he works in a business that is dominated by black athletes I don't think this was really a problem.
Not if, on the other side of that fence he speaks about there was a big crowd of black people then maybe he should be punished.
I am under the impression he just sort of said it, he spends all day around guys who more than likely say it on a regular basis. I don't think it matters.

He got fined because he represented the Eagles in a negative way per his actions.

You don't need to be at an NFL event to be punished by the league/team.

Nothing wrong with a fine, anything more would have been overboard.
Posted on 8/1/13 at 9:42 am to Melvin
The universe will be in order either way. If he's fined, it's because he asked for it. If he's not fined, it's because he hurt no one.

He already has been fined

Rev. Al and Jessie are firing up their private jets to get to philly with the quickness.

You have to understand that the media loves them some racism stories. Probably their favorite thing. That's why this,like Zimmerman, Paula dean, the number of black coaches/qbs , and similar stories are always blown way out of proportion.
Maybe a fine, but only bc it went public and made the team look bad. Other than that who cares what the guy says? If he's a racist the people around him already knew it.

Does the NFL now have to fine every player who is caught using the word?
Posted on 8/1/13 at 9:59 am to EvrybodysAllAmerican
I know. I'm just saying I don't think the punishment should be based on the reaction from the media.
