Riley Cooper, wide reciever for the Philadelphia Eagles, apparently became agitated as he was at a Kenny Chesney concert at Lincoln Financial Field back in June. In a video originally released by Crossing Broad, Cooper became angry and said that he would "fight ever N-word in here" as those around him laughed. Someone outstreaches a hand to him after his words, which he slaps away. It is unclear from the video what upset him so much.
Cooper sent a series of three tweets out after the video of his outburst became public. He did not say why he was provoked.
The 25-year-old was also allegedly involved in a brief altercation outside of the stadium prior to the concert. He and several of his teammates later joined Chesney and Chip Kelly on the state for a rendition of "The Boys of Fall," reported Bleacher Report. Cooper won two championships during his time with University of Florida in 2006 and 2008. He is expected to replace Jeremy Maclin, who will be out with an injury next season. The Eagles have not yet commented on the situation and it remains unclear if Cooper will be punished for his comments.
