Eagles Receiver Cooper Apologizes for Using Racial Slur at Concert Michael Perez/Associated Press Riley Cooper at the Eagles' training camp Sunday. "I said something that was absolutely disgusting and terrible," Cooper said. PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper apologized Wednesday after a video surfaced in which he used a racial slur at a country music concert. "This is kind of the lowest of the lows," Cooper said at an impromptu news conference at the Eagles" practice facility. This isn't the type of person I want to be portrayed as. The brief video clip, which was posted by the Philadelphia sports blog CrossingBroad.com, was taken at a Kenny Chesney concert at Lincoln Financial Field in June. Cooper, who attended the concert with several Eagles teammates and Coach Chip Kelly, appears agitated in the video. His teammate Jason Kelce appears to be restraining Cooper. Cooper, who is white, said Wednesday that he had gotten into a confrontation with an African-American security guard. Cooper, who appeared on stage at one point during the concert, acknowledged that he was drinking at the time of the incident, but he said it was not an excuse for his behavior. He was fined an undisclosed amount by the Eagles. The Eagles" owner, Jeffrey Lurie, said, "This sort of behavior or attitude from anyone has no role in a civil society." The N.F.L. released a statement saying, "Comments like this are wrong, offensive and unacceptable." Cooper, who is entering his fourth year in the league, caught 23 passes for 248 yards last season. He said he planned to apologize to his teammates.
