After video surfaced of Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper using the N-word, his world has been turned upside down. He was fined by his team and ordered to undergo counseling. His teammate LeSean McCoy spoke out against him and his own grandmother was no different. Read more after the jump.
Riley’s Grandma Betty told TMZ, Cooper screwed up big time and it’s his mess to clean up.
She didn’t make excuses when they spoke to her saying, “[Riley] brought it upon himself and he has to deal with the consequences.”
Grandma says Riley was raised in a good household that never condoned racism of any kind — so she’s surprised by his behavior, especially because she says he’s never gotten into any kind of trouble before.
That said, Grandma Betty is optimistic about Riley’s future, saying it’s good he’s nipping this problem in the bud now before it gets any worse.
