This is not good for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper. At a Kenny Chesney concert a slightly angry and perturbed Cooper says he will “fight every n—– here.”

I’m sure this is bound to have repercussions for the player who is entering his 4th NFL season with the Eagles. A majority of his NFL teammates are African-American and will likely not be thrilled with the racist rant.

Chasing Broad details what led to the event:

"Prior to joining Chesney, several Eagles teammates and Chip Kelly on stage for The Boys of Fall, Cooper was with friends and Jason Kelce in a semi-private area near the stage. In a video that we’ve obtained, we see Kelce and others attempting to calm an agitated Cooper down just before he points in the direction of the crowd (and camera) and says, as best as we can tell: “I will jump that fence and fight every n—– here, bro.”"

Deadspin

Riley Cooper is currently the number two receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles after Jeremy Maclin suffered an injury.

This wasn’t even the first incident involving Cooper from this same concert. Cooper was involved in a dust up outside of the Lincoln Financial Field.
