Eagles fans are going to have fun with this...

They sure are. They booed Santa Claus. They have a holding cell with an active court inside their stadium. They lined up at the Meet the Flyers Parade in 1967 and chanted "You guys will be playing in Baltimore by Christmas!"

He’s probably reading FR and seeing the backlash!

Exactly, basically, that guy is also a coward. I don’t have to respect shit, even if somebody is standing up for the idiotic, screwed up beliefs

A little too late. He revealed his true feelings and now his agent probably explained possible financial consequences. Hope he gets cut.

Bingo! Although I bet it is too late. Unless this guy is ultra talented and a possible asset to the Eagles he is gone.

Smart thinking. Unusual in a rookie.

I disagree. He was an idiot to suggest he would do this, especially as a rookie. Someone else had to have had a little sit-down with him to get him to see the light.

The threat of being put on the waiver list works wonders!

The NFL is just Obama’s farm team now. This organization is being turned to Alinskyite, America-hating, white-hating, anti-civilization ends. Our country would be better off if the masses stopped watching, but of course, all the masses care about is beer, sex and football, and not necessarily in that order.

"His agent must have given him a good talking-to."

Yep, the agent saw his commission flying away. An undrafted rookie who has yet to make the team needs to show his employers his priorities are in the right place if he wants to have any chance to get hired. Even so, I bet an assistant trainer visits him at his locker shortly and says, "Coach want to see you in his office....and bring your playbook."

He learned a valuable lesson: Don’t kick a hornet’s nest.
Perhaps to further his career, he should get his name changed now.

What I find astonishing about this recent controversy is the massive amount of publicity that the opinion of an overpaid football player is getting.

It shouldn’t have newsworthy at all.

Hope he gets cut.

There is no chance in hell that he wrote the apology.

If any group of Blacks should feel blessed and grateful to live in the USA, it is Black athletes. Where in the world could teams field entire basket ball teams and a majority of NFL teams with Black multi-millionaires? If they are too aggrieved by living here, they should be cut from their teams and “freed” to go to another country and try their luck.
Or perhaps White sports fans should boycott their games and cut off their TVs for a season or two and put the front office of the NFL out of business. As sports fans, we are sick of hearing these over-privileged whiners criticizing the country they have fed off of ever since someone saw them throw a ball or shoot a basket in third grade.
