Philly WR Riley Cooper is a racist

I gotta say living in the deep, deep south, the outrage at this has shocked me. It's not a term I personally care to use, but I hear this routinely every single day. It doesn't even bother a large percentage of blacks down here anymore. I see whites use it to blacks in open buddy-buddy conversation on a daily basis (as a black man would to another black man.) It's become hilariously common, and while that doesn't change that it's wrong (I've always been of the persuasion that it should be a taboo term regardless of your skin color, including blacks) I'm simply shocked at the national outrage at this.

 

I also gotta say... And as much as I hate to take Cooper's defense here after he did something terrible... This doesn't make him a racist. He no doubt of course could be, but I have I hard time believing a guy who played sports all his life and all the way up into the pro level, could secretly hate a group of people he's played alongside his whole life. I think it's way more likely he was being a drunk idiot than some closet racist.

And then again, even if he were racist he can't do squat about it. Just a whole lot of gray hairs. The public don't care if one is racist or not. They want those thought to be kept to themselves. It's the "tree falls in forest, no one to hear it, does it make sound" mentality. Which I agree with because no one goes to Cooper's living room to let him how they feel about him, why should we listen to his rant. Quite simple. Just be a closet racist.

Alright guys, apparently black people are the only ones who are allowed to be offended by a word. I'll make sure to remember that next time.

Try not to forget how to breathe or poop given the amount of rememberin' you have to do

Keep on fighting the good fight for our rights. We will reach equality one day

White people cry even more when they get insulted because they're not use to it. You make it sound like people are throwing insults at each other everywhere 24/7. Nobody like insults. Nobody. Everybody gets insulted by insults. Nobody spews insults at each other for no reason. No blacks did anything to cooper to deserve the epithet. If he had insulted any other race he would still be in limbo.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
