    If you’re expecting an already sizzling NFC East rivalry to get hotter in the wake of Riley Cooper’s racial slurs surfacing online Wednesday, then you’re going to be disappointed.

    Several Giants players downplayed the significance of the now-viral video Thursday at the team's training camp, with cornerback Aaron Ross calling it an “unfortunate situation.â€

    “I think that work is kind of taken out of society these days,†Ross told reporters. “It’s one of those words you don’t want to use.â€

    Ross said no Giants players would view the Eagles differently following the incident, and that included a dismissal of any desire for "retribution" among Philly defenders.

    “On this team, we kind of look at every receiver as the same," he said. "If Riley’s out there or DeSean’s out there, they’re the same person to us.â€
