If they did, there wouldn't be enough players left to field 2 full rosters.

If they fine him, they should also fine everyone else on the team that says it.

Pretty sure all the Black Safeties in NFL can't wait to dole out some on field punishment.

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.


It's fricking ridiculous that this is even a news story. A fine would be a joke, and would be so hypocritical. Unless they want to fine every player that uses that word, it would be bullshite. This is PC garbage, and it's absolutely ridiculous.

My only issue is that NFL films probably catches guys say this word hundreds of times a week around the league. Dont see them getting fined ever.

Seems like a bad precedent

I guess i just hate the "right for some but not for all" mentality about that word. If youre that offended by it then noone should use it.

He should be forced into therapy and fined for every mean thing he ever said.

the team fined him, not the NFL. I would think that would be enough, but who knows with Goodell.

Sure hope they fine everyone on the team that uses that word. I'm sure a quick glance through player twitters will generate a good starting list.

they should probably cut him

but with their lack of depth at WR after Maclin went down, itd be hard to let him go

Any punishment the Eagles feel is appropriate is fine by me. If they chose to suspend him or cut him, then that's his own fault.

I don't think the NFL should hand down any punishment, though. SHould be handled strictly in house.

Wasn't just slur he guilty of. 1. Being at Kenny McGarth Concert. 2. Wearing flannel sleeveless shirt 3. Threatening to beat up security. That all added probably warrants some punishment.
