absolute disgrace

[Irish George]

sorry for the stand-alone post. But that's just what I doto me there's no way you can keep this guy in the league much less the roster. Perhaps lurie is afraid of a union problembut I don't see what do you gain by keeping this a****** on the roster

[Maniac]

Level of Agreement off the board. Hadnt thought about kicking him out of the league but he wouldn't be on my team.

[NorthJerseyEAGLES]

to each his own

but he fucked up, apologized and the team seems to accept it.its his first problem, now if it happens again then yes give him the ax

Agreed, other players might be racist but not many are stupid enough to do what Kooper did. As a franchise this guy represents them, he's got to go.

What else could he have done? Threatened to fight all the niggers on the eagles?

Cooper has to go after this. Luckily he's a fringe player so Kelly could quietly make him go away before the Opening Game and make it appear like a normal cut.

If the black players on the team had wanted Cooper gone he'd be gone. In the absence of vengeance on their part Lurie acted reasonably. Unless you believe there should be a zero tolerance policy, which it sounds like you do, else you are equivocating like Maniac.

I'm guessing the black players have heard that word used so many times by so many different people (white or otherwise) and in so many different contexts that they judged it wasn't worth burning the guy this time.

[Maniac]

So where is the line? What if he was wearing a swastika t-shirt? Im not advocating "no tolerance" but i find offering to "fight all the niggers" pretty damn provocative.

[Drama Queen]

Maybe they should make Cooper drink a dong shot.

[The Ref]

Cracker Cooper.

People reveal who they really are when they're drunk.

If the black players on the team had wanted him gone, he'd be gone. In this instance, they drew the line. It seems to me that the black members on the board who have chimed in are OK with Cooper staying. I'll give weight to their judgment.

Had Lurie cut Cooper that would have been his prerogative.

However they feel about Cooper, I'll bet the black players got more than a bit of satisfaction out of having the guy grovel for his job at their feet.

I feel a lot better looking at things this way than a Some White Players Are More Equal Than Others philosophy.

Me?

I'm wondering where were all the principled and outraged defenders of integrity were when Delmon Young spewed his anti-Semitic venom last year.

Why wasn't there the same outrage when the Phillies signed him?

[Maniac]

I bet they'll get a lot more satisfaction if Cooper gets cut.

[Maniac]

This one's easy for me. Im not a philths fan.

And this is how I feel.
