I love the fake outrage by the media and some of the players. Was it a bonehead move by Cooper? Certainly, but it doesn't make him a hate monger either. I saw the video and I took it as him basically saying "I'm gonna fight every mother f'er in here". Hell, it's a Kenny Chesney concert. There were no black people around to actually fight.
Kudos to Leshawn McCoy saying that he can't respect anybody who uses that word. It's dropped about 150 times per rap album and has been used so much that in this generation it has actually become more of a slang term as opposed to a reference of hate. 99% of the time, when I hear that word, it's usually in a sentence similar to: "Where all my niggaz at?". Not to mention, I GUARANTEE you that word is being used in the Philadelphia Eagles' locker room by all of the black players.
That's the thing that is so ridiculous about this whole thing. Where the hell are our morals? So McCoy is suddenly offended at this word? As if he along with 90 percent of his teammates don't say it on a near hourly basis? Where's his outrage at Chris Rock? Where's his outrage at 90 percent of the music he listens to? So the N word is sooooo offensive while lyrics about rape, gun violence, and drugs are acceptable?
If you go to any pro game, you'll hear far worse than the N word. In fact, one quarter of KG, Kobe, or Deron Williams is a real eye-opener. You'll hear more slime in just 1 quarter than in your entire life in the military.
The media is jumping all over Weiner and anything racist/homosexual because there just isn't much to report on right now. But it's just so overbearing that I don't even watch the news anymore.
Somewhere along the line, this has got to become a two way street. Blacks can demean, swear, act racist and it's fine. Where's the outrage when Delonte stuck his finger in Hayward's ear and called him a "white boy?" Could you imagine the outrage had Hayward done the same and called him "black boy?" He would have been killed by the media!
We have got to become politically correct not just when it's to our own political advantage.
