Whoops: Eagles make an unfortunate calendar choice Either we’ve grown into a cynical society which looks for the bad in everyone, or the people who make NFL team calendars are just horribly without any shred of self-awareness. The latest calendar mishap is in Philadelphia, where the Eagles featured wide receiver Riley Cooper on the February page of their calendar. February. As in, Black History Month. As in, the guy who used the ugliest racial slur possible at a Kenny Chesney concert. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/02/12/whoops-eagles-make-an-unfortunate-calendar-choice/
Outrageous. I'm sure none of the colored players on that team have ever said or done anything so racist.
The calendar was probably put together by an intern with a flair for the outrageous. Hopefully the same kid who gave the TV newscaster the names of the pilots in the San Fran plane crash last year, We Tu Lo, Sum Ting Wong and Ho Le Fuk.
