    The Philadelphia Eagles are setting up Riley Cooper with sensitivity training after the wide receiver was caught on video making a racial slur.

    ''In meeting with Riley yesterday, we decided together that his next step will be to seek outside assistance to help him fully understand the impact of his words and actions,'' the team said in a statement Thursday. ''He needs to reflect. As an organization, we will provide the resources he needs to do so.''

    Cooper apologized profusely Wednesday after a video of him using the N-word at a Kenny Chesney concert last month surfaced on the Internet. The Eagles immediately fined him.

    Cooper would have been better off if he did this during the season.

    Been buried in the news by now... :icon_smile:

    If LeSean McCoy screams "I'll fight all these crackers" at a Jay Z concert there'd be no uproar.

    I see where you're coming from with this, but the two words really aren't even IMO
