After calling Cooper's racially charged comments "obviously wrong, insensitive and unacceptable," Goodell told ESPN's "Mike & Mike in the Morning" on Thursday, "He's accepted responsibility for it, he has spoken to his team, he has been disciplined by the club, and will go through some training with the club to understand." Cooper, who was fined an undisclosed amount by the Eagles, met with his teammates Wednesday after a video surfaced of him using racially insensitive language at a Kenny Chesney concert. The fourth-year pro expressed remorse for his comments, telling reporters, "I'm just extremely sorry." "I know what type of person he is," quarterback Michael Vick told CSNPhilly.com. "That's what makes it hard to understand but easy to forgive him."
