frick Cooper, one of his teammates should've made him eat those words

Why is it different? Its political correctness gone mad

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.

Im not saying white people should be able to use it. Im saying no one should.

that doesnt matter at all....not that i think anything should happen to cooper but they are held to nfl standards EVERYWHERE and with anything they do
Would a black athlete be fined for saying it?

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.

That was sarcasm on my part if you didnt catch it

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

quote: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.
