LeSean McCoy: "I can't respect" Riley Cooper

McCoy: "I can't respect" Cooper

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has admitted that he "can't respect" teammate Riley Cooper after the receiver made a racial slur at a concert.

The 25-year-old was caught on camera at a Kenny Chesney concert making a racial comment, which was released into the public eye this week.

McCoy told NFL.com: "I can't respect a guy like that."

"I forgave Riley," he later told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "It's new. I hope it wears off. At this point, I speak for myself and other teammates, I know it's different."

Cooper was drafted in the fifth round in 2010 and has made 46 receptions, scoring five touchdowns in his three years at the Eagles.
