If Riley Cooper were just some thug who got thrown out of a concert, it would be no news. But Riley Cooper’s a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles and works around black players on a daily basis. Thus the average reaction to the video was one of surprise. Mr. Cooper? A racist? No way.
Well, after the dust settled, the idea that they just might be harboring a true anti-black racist started to hit home with some Philadelphia Eagles players. Some let it vent in a behind closed doors meeting, saying that they could not and would not protect him from other NFL players who made the pass catcher a marked man. Eventually, it seemed, and sadly, that having Cooper on the team created a situation that was too hot to handle.
Riley Cooper left the team temporarily.
The question is will he, and should he comeback?
Stay tuned.
