Oh, I'm sure someone will be butthurt over it. My point is...it's 2015. Can't we just move the **** on already?
I wish we could but we can't. For anyone to bring this month issue up is bewildering. It was just one of those things.
MLK who was a much better leader for blacks than anyone we have today would have forgiven Cooper for his foul and offensive drunken words and moved on. King would have eloquently explained why forgiveness and learning from this would be important. I am sure Riley learned alot from this. But he will likely hear about this the rest of his life by the agenda driven media and the likes of Skip Bayless who never lets it go. Cooper had a very off year and I'm sure his bigoted and filthy words came back to haunt him personally and professionally. It was Michael Vick who bailed him out after the video hit. That was gracious of Vick. But Cooper was not the same player this year.
I will never fully understand some issues. Race is one of them. I know blacks have been put through alot unfair in American and world history. So have other races of people such as the Jews. I wish we had an MLK for today. I hear reports that some people don't consider Russell Wilson my favorite player in sports and the closet player in the NFL to Tim Tebow as a player and person as black enough. It's puzzling. Johnathon Martin went through this with the Dolphins in the 2013 season and it broke him. Again I will never fully understand this issue. I just wish Cooper could put this embarrassing and hurtful incident behind him. But I doubt he can.
