PHILADELPHIA -- Saying he was "ashamed and disgusted" with himself, Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper apologized repeatedly for making a racial slur at a Kenny Chesney concert that was caught on video and led to him getting fined. The video of Cooper using the N-word surfaced Wednesday on the Internet. Cooper issued a statement of apology then met with reporters outside the teams practice facility. "This is the lowest of lows," Cooper said. "This is not the type of person I want to be portrayed as. This isnt the type of person I am. Im extremely sorry." Cooper said he was drinking when he directed the slur at an African-American security guard at the concert in June. "Thats no excuse for what I said. I dont use that term," he said. "I was raised better than that. I have a great mom and dad and theyre disgusted with my actions." Cooper said he was fined a significant amount of money by the Eagles. "We are shocked and appalled by Riley Coopers words," Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said. "This sort of behaviour or attitude from anyone has no role in a civil society. He has accepted responsibility for his words and his actions. He has been fined for this incident." The league released the following statement: "The NFL stands for diversity and inclusion. Comments like this are wrong, offensive, and unacceptable." A fifth-round pick out of Florida, Cooper is entering his fourth season in the NFL. He has 46 catches and five touchdowns in three years with the Eagles. Cooper had tentatively moved into a starting role after Jeremy Maclin tore his right ACL in practice last Saturday. Still, hes not guaranteed a roster spot in Chip Kellys new offence. "Im willing to accept all consequences," Cooper said. "I know no one in Philadelphia is happy with me right now. I accept that. I hope they see the true me and accept my apology. I know it will take a while." Cooper apologized to teammates after talking to the media. "As a team we understood because we all make mistakes in life and we all do and say things that maybe we do mean and maybe we dont mean," Eagles quarterback Michael Vick said. "But as a teammate I forgave him. We understand the magnitude of the situation. We understand a lot of people may be hurt and offended, but I know Riley Cooper. I know him as a man. Ive been with him for the last three years and I know what type of person he is. Thats what makes it easy, and at the same time, hard to understand. But easy to forgive him." Vick also rebuked his brother, Marcus Vick, for profanity-laced tweets, including one offering a $1,000 bounty for any player who lays Cooper out in a game. Marcus Vick later deleted all the tweets. "To address my brothers situation and what hes saying, I dont think its really relevant," Vick said. "You cant allow yourself to be encumbered in whats going on. I dont agree with what my brother is saying. Riley is still my teammate and he just stood in front of us and apologized for what he said. Somewhere deep down youve got to find some level of respect for that. To people in the outside world who dont know how were dealing with it, theyre going to forge their own opinions, but my brother has to not show a certain level of ignorance himself."Casey Short Jersey .

The Gunners are currently the second highest scorers in the league but Wenger insists Walcott will add something extra to his team.Samsung Galaxy mightve met an echo of boos as they entered the famed Chicago Theatre stage on Thursday night, but only silence was left at the end of their best-of-five quarterfinal series against NA third-place seed Cloud9.The first game of the series looked promising for C9. Impact grew a solid lead in the top lane on his Rumble against Lee CuVee Seong-jins Ekko, and Nicolaj Jensen Jensen was able to pressure and take over control of mid lane in his clash against Lee Crown Min-ho. The issues came, however, when C9 attempted to be the team on the attack, repeatedly deploying seemingly advantageous attacks that ended with them on the losing end. A three-man gank in the mid lane with Jensen, William Meteos Hartman and Andy Smoothie Ta ended with Crown grabbing First Blood. And any attention given to the bottom lane was nipped in the bud. Even Impacts lead in the top lane began to dwindle as Ekko took control of the matchup and started a series of solo kills against C9s ace.Samsung was the best team at gaining mid game leads and turning them into quick finishes in the group stages, and it was the same in the quarterfinal opener. After CuVee had a grip on the top lane matchup, no one from C9 was safe. The South Korean squad rotated across the map in rhythmic succession to take another game below 30 minutes.By the second game, C9 relented on its aggression, and the teams tiptoed across the map until the mid game. While the North American club was able to pick up advantages here and there, it was Samsungs counter-punching style that never let C9 get a true lead in the game. Everything fell apart for C9 when Zachary Sneaky Scuderis Jhin wass caught along the river near the Baron pit and Samsung instantly engaged with CuVees Kennen teleport into a multi-man ultimate that blew the game open.dddddddddddd Samsung picked up the kills, grabbed the Baron, and started up rapidfire destruction of C9s turrets en route to another clean -- albeit more stretched out -- game.In the third set of the series, it was Samsungs bottom lane that would be put to the test. While the C9 bot-lane duo was able to get miles ahead in the early game, it was the methodical gank timings of Ambitions Olaf that kept his team afloat in the first 10 minutes of the game. By the time the game had started to stabilize, it was the freight train Olaf that continually made sure to delete Sneakys Caitlyn off the map before it could get any sort of semblance of relevance in the game.Like the first two games, Samsung got ahold of the lead, didnt take the foot off the pedal, and dipped and dodged any C9 counter-attack by performing a knockout counter. For every step forward C9 took, Samsung was already miles ahead, ready to pull the trigger on another maneuver.The South Koreans secured a 3-0 series win in a one-sided affair, and the semifinals await the rebuilt empire of the 2014 World Champion organization in New York Citys Madison Square Garden. North America is officially out of the tournament, with C9 eliminated. The region as a whole went 9-12 throughout the tournament.South Korea, the games strongest region, is at a dominant record of 18-4. And all three teams are left standing. ' ' '
