Eagles coach Chip Kelly didn’t have much to say about being accused of being racist by LeSean McCoy, other than that McCoy wouldn’t return his calls.
But a number of Eagles players said they thought their former teammate was wrong to go there, and that his assertions were baseless.
“It’s definitely difficult and upsetting for sure,” Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper said, via Bob Grotz of the Delaware County Times. “I know [Kelly is] not like that.”
Of course, Cooper was the beneficiary of a pretty big second chance for his own unfortunate choice of words two years ago, but the Eagles have apparently embraced Cooper in the aftermath of it, or at least allowed him to move on.
