His black teammates will let this go a lot sooner than the white media. The media hates racism (or loves racism stories?) more than anyone that it actually affects.

Coopers teammates (according to Vick-the spokesman for black folks) have already forgiven him. This shouldn't effect the locker room one bit.

Marcus Vick has been such an unredeemable POS his entire life

Pretty damned simple.

The guy apologized though, so it's time to move on.




All of this.

I said this in another thread, glad to see some agree.

Although someone said thinking this isn't a big deal shows what kind of person I am. He never clarified what that meant...

"N*****" isn't a racist term... it's just a word white people use in certain areas to refer to black people.

So if Cooper said something like "creepy-arse n*****", he was just talking like those in his neighborhood do.

Classic misunderstanding.

Mike will never live down his crimes to some, despite serving time, but he's a good dude these days.

I remember when the rant got ahold of Riley's cell phone number the Friday before UF came into TS for a night game.

Back when Rex Grossman was at Florida I found the # to his dads practice, he was either a dentist or a doctor, and I called and said I was Rex and wanted to speak to my dad. The nurse was all friendly and said oh hey Rex blah blah blah and asked how I was doing and said dad was out to lunch. I told her I broke my leg at practice and had to speak with him and she got all quiet and said she would have him call me back ASAP. It was a dick move but I always wondered how that played out with him and his dad!

Motherfricking media is straight up beating this story to death. In a span of 8 minutes- CNN, HLN, ESPN, ESPN2 all reported this at the same damn time. I'm sure I could've found more if flipped through more channels.

you think a player won't target or hit Riley a little harder than usual off the ball under the guise of "trying to fight through a block" like on a running play, then you don't watch football.
its awfully naive to think that's not what every defenders does to every player.

If you're talking about illegal hits, if so, I'm sure he'll take the 15 yards.

I doubt there's been a white person ever who has used that word to simply refer to black people routinely who wasn't some kind of racist or prejudiced.

Zero chance.

Vick has taken the higher road in this, his comments are mature and level headed

Alot of people use it as just a slang term for anybody, joking or not. blacks call that to each other all the time. Don't fool yourself.

But......
White person says it = racist
Black person says it = not racist


Although watching video it is very apparent it wasn't meant in any other way than a disrespect way.. Doesn't mean Cooper is a racist, if it was a white guy who pissed him off he probably would have used term "redneck" or "white trash" or something along those lines.
