Riley Cooper...NSFW. Will he get the Paula Deen treatment?

He's an idiot, but the situations aren't entirely comparable. He makes money with an athletic talent, and people don't need to like him for the team to do well. She makes money selling shit and being likable. However, if he does have any endorsement deals he should be dropped from those.se-alum;1480860 wrote:Riley Cooper...NSFW.

When healthy Andre Johnson is the 3rd best receiver behind Fitz and Megatron IMO. Not even having him on his list invalidates the whole thing.

0 yrs of double digit TD was probably why he wasn't on the list. I still would have put him on the list ahead of Harvin and Steve Smith though.Rotinaj;1480880 wrote:When healthy Andre Johnson is the 3rd best receiver behind Fitz and Megatron IMO.

Yeah, playing on a team that likes to run he doesn't get as many chances down at the goalline I don't think like other WR's do.Commander of Awesome;1480886 wrote:0 yrs of double digit TD was probably why he wasn't on the list.

I heard a couple of cracker (and worse) comments at a Rick Ross/Wale concert in Tucson. So yeah you're right.thavoice;1480895 wrote:Eh, I bet at a concert with a vast majority of black people ya hear just as nasty stuff about and directed at whitey.

who gives a fuck? If it were black guys making racist comments the media wouldn't make a big deal out of it. Seriously, who gives a shit what this guy says?se-alum;1480860 wrote:Riley Cooper...NSFW. Will he get the Paula Deen treatment?

Maybe the majority of the players in the NFL?
Dude is a redneck douche. You don't think players will remember this the next time he's coming across the middle?

Over something a drunk idiot says? Wouldn't you rather put the hit on the guy who went to jail for torturing dogs? Honestly, I can think of a lot more players deserving big shots than him.Automatik;1481144 wrote:Maybe the majority of the players in the NFL?

Why is no one calling out Vicks' brother for tweeting a bounty on the guy? Seriously, it's such a non issue. Red neck says a racial slur and the media turns it into a huge deal. If it were a rap concert and a bunch of black players were making fun of a white guy would they be made to apologize? Doubt it.

Didn't say he deserved anything, just that players will remember that. Will they lose sleep over it? No.
They said on the local radio he was referring to security who wouldn't let him back stage or something? lol
Also, the rap concert situation does not compare. He didn't come across as "making fun" of anyone.

I totally agree. The next time he comes across the middle I fully expect every black LB and CB to hit him extra hard because of what he said.Automatik;1481144 wrote:Maybe the majority of the players in the NFL?

I go up to a black guy and call him a ******. Guy next to me tortured a dog. Who is the black guy going to get more pissed at?

im quite sure his teammates will care. this will be very hard for him in the locker room im sure. i cant imagine the tension. this isnt like he said some off the cuff type of ignorant comment about a race. this was kinda hateful and calling someone a ****** specifically, meaning the security guards. drunk or not it would be hard to face a black player in the wr meetings. i cant recall someone ever getting caught on tape saying anything worse. dog the bounty hunter maybe? i was assuming someone accidentally caught this but after seeing the tape he said it right into the camera. what a dumbass

What i meant was, if a bunch of black guys or one black guy was yelling he's going to kick the shit out of every cracker/honkey there, i doubt he'd be fined or made to apologize.Automatik;1481170 wrote:Didn't say he deserved anything, just that players will remember that.

He's a retard for sure. I think his teammates should take care of it in house. Give him a few hits in practice, get out what they need to say, and then drop it. This public apology shit is moronic "Have you used that term before?"...."no." It's moronic, does anyone think he'd admit to being a racist? My problem is the media blowing this up.Gblock;1481401 wrote:im quite sure his teammates will care. this will be very hard for him in the locker room im sure. i cant imagine the tension. this isnt like he said some off the cuff type of ignorant comment about a race. this was kinda hateful and calling someone a ****** specifically, meaning the security guards. drunk or not it would be hard to face a black player in the wr meetings. i cant recall someone ever getting caught on tape saying anything worse. dog the bounty hunter maybe? i was assuming someone accidentally caught this but after seeing the tape he said it right into the camera. what a dumbass

idk plenty of black guys have had to apologize for saying slurs against gays and the media gave it a lot of attention granted they were way bigger stars than this guy. Depending on his prior rep in the locker room this could go bad still. Lucky for him maclin is out they have a dire need at reciever
