We also did not see any footage about the people that he was referring to in that video..For all we know, they could have been pushing his buttons for a while. He was obviously defensive in that video. Im not racist, but if white or black people want to act tough and thuggish, I may have some negative words for them as well.

Is this post serious?

Yes it is. Do you know what the events that lead up to the racial comments were? You can tell there was a dispute before the video was taken. Someone was obviously trying to hold him back. We dont know what they were though. They could have been screaming "stupid cracker" for all we know..Not defending anything he said, but we don't know the full reason for his outrage. The media focused on the reaction, not the story.

Nope. He felt safe to be a racist around his white friends, he wouldn't have given what he did a second thought if he hadn't been caught on video.

Keep him away from this team.

Yeah, and ESPN and CNN feel safe being racist and sexist by pointing out that people are hired based on their skin color or they are not hired based on their skin color.

Maybe he wasn't being racist, if he was being called a cracker then would it have been called for?

I'd rather have him and Eric Decker than Lafell and Armanti.( I know Armanti was cut but that's what we had last offseason)

Bottom line is that I've heard far worse things in similar situations from people of all colors. He's a big dude who can go up and get the ball.

The only point I'm trying to make is we cant take everything the media gives us as the "truth". Riley is more than likely a spoiled kid that rightfully was exposed as a racist punk.

Rightfully exposed a racist you say? It's really difficult to fathom being an outright racist in this sport. People said Richie Incognito was racist for his statements. I seriously doubt that considering Pouncey had no problem at all with Richie.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      Sure.    ignore that he said this roster wasn’t good in 2023 to 2024 but keep up the effort

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
