So the dude was drunk at a country music concert, and used a racial slur. So now the Eagles decide that he needs to be fined and go to “sensitivy training”.
I’m not advocating what he did, and I certainly recognize the right of an organization to protect its reputation, whether it’s the Eagles or the NFL. But “sensitivity training”? Come on. (or as some might say, “Nigga, please!”) If I had to go to sensitivity training for every stupid thing I ever said, they’d never let me out. I imagine that 99% of the population would be in the same boat. (Whether they would admit it or not is a different story.)
I wonder what part of it is for his own protection so that black players don’t slam into him a little extra hard during practice or during games. “Look, he is so so sorry for what he said!”
Seriously? Josh Brent gets drunk, rolls his car, kills his teammate, and was invited to sit on the sidelines only eight days later.
Riley Cooper gets drunk, says one word (that probably every single person in America has said at least once in their life), and he gets “excused from all team activities” so he can “attend counseling” in order to “better help him understand how his words have hurt so many, including his teammates.”
I’m a Cowboys fan, so part of me loves the fact that the Eagles camp is in disarray, first losing their best WR, then his proxy. But seriously? The NFL has become WAAAAY too PC.
