Where is the public outcry for the real criminals? This offseason:
Andre Smith and Da-Quan Bowers both took a gun into an airport.
Jay Ratliff put everyone in danger by driving drunk. His temmate killed someone that way.
Michael Boley was arrested for child abuse.
Amari Spivey beat up his girlfriend over child support, with the kid there.
Dez Bryant was arrested for beating his own mother.

monkey i am not picking on you per se but i always kinda roll my eyes when ppl try to defend or justify 1 person's specific negative act by pointing out all the other evil deeds that others might have done.
it has no relevance to the specific bad act being discussed and in no way excuses or absolves anyone from anything.
when ppl do that, i interpret it as them saying "whats the big deal, did you her what johnny said .... "
and im glad that no one here has raised the "white cracker" argument bc the term white cracker doesnt have 100s of years of oppression, hate and slavery behind it.
with all that strongly said, i dont think the NFL would have any justification for fining or suspending him. if football teams are like a family, id let the eagles family handle it internally. if he is too divisive of a presence, then the eagles should do what they have to do.
my 2 cents - no one should get a pass for using the word the way in which he said it but what he said should have no bearing on his football eligibility through the league office. i apologize for perhaps extending this convo.
