Even if Cooper would have said “I will jump that fence and fight every African American here, bro” instead of the n-word, he still should be fined at a minimum by the Eagles.

A black casually calling another black an N is not equal to a white person using it in a derogatory manner like Cooper did

Do blacks who call whites crackers or use the term "fricking white boy" get fined at NFL games. You know that shite gets thrown around at least 100 times a game.

Serious question. Should players who cheat on their wives be cut too?

athletes are fined all the time for what they say and/or post on social media.

I know Kobe got hit with a $100k fine for a slur.

Cromartie tweeted about nasty food at training camp and got a $2500 fine.

I think that's the most people's point. Why isn't it? Particularly if you are going to add dollars and cent in to the equation. Either racial slurs have to be acceptable or not. There are gray topics and racism shouldn't be one. The grayness just perpetuates race problems.

Yea, what's said in the game is the same as someone using a racial slur in public On video.

And white cracker isn't offensive. That's some dumb shite a white person made up because he felt left out of the race war. Prob a racist himself

It still doesn't offend me or most whites I would guess but I have noticed it is being used in a more hostile manner lately. Also your post is racist because it assumes what an entire race should or shouldn't be offended by. I thought the crux of this whole argument was about sensitivity. Or is that a one way street.
