Philadelphia Eagles Riley Cooper Apology For N-Word [VIDEO]: Mike Vick Accepts Teammates Apology, Kenny Chesney Says 'I'm As Shocked As Anyone'

A disturbing video of Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper using racial slur at a Kenny Chesney concert has gone viral and now Cooper has apologized for his behavior and his teammate Michael Vick is standing behind him all the way.

The vide shows Cooper promising another concertgoer that he would "fight every n-----" at the Philadelphia concert. Wednesday, Cooper addressed the backlash and released an apology saying, "I am so ashamed and disgusted with myself," Cooper said in a statement. "I want to apologize. I have been offensive. I have apologized to my coach, to Jeffrey Lurie, to Howie Roseman and to my teammates. I owe an apology to the fans and to this community. I am so ashamed, but there are no excuses. What I did was wrong and I will accept the consequences."

The NFL athlete was fined and Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie released a statement about his player's behavior stating:

"We are shocked and appalled by Riley Cooper's words," Lurie said in a statement. "This sort of behavior 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."

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, Michael Vick tweeted that he stands behind his teammate during this time after he owned up and apologized, "Riley's my friend Our relationship is mutual respect. He looked me in the eyes and apologized. I believe in forgiveness and I believe in him."

Performer Chesney spoke to LZ Granderson, ESPN senior writer to defend his fans after Cooper's video went viral:

"I'm as shocked as anyone to see the video of Riley Cooper that's started circulating on the internet. I don't believe in discrimination in any form, and I think using language like that is not only unacceptable, it is hateful beyond words," Chesney told Granderson.

"I don't know everything about every player who comes to our shows. We invite the teams in the places where we play, and I've found the guys from the NFL are some of the most inspiring people I meet all year. They give back to their communities, work with children, hospitals and various charities, as well as raising awesome families.

"To judge an entire audience by one loud mouth isn't fair ... not to the NFL, not to the city of Philadelphia and that awesome crowd, not to my band and crew and certainly not to me, who believes music is about bringing people together for friendship and forgetting about the things in life that bring you down. The music I make is about living life, loving life and loving everybody -- no matter who they are. That's how I was raised, and what someone else does or says doesn't reflect who I am or what my fans stand for."

The NFL is in on the action as well stating they will not tolerate such behavior, "The NFL stands for diversity and inclusion. Comments like this are wrong, offensive, and unacceptable."

His teammates seem to have accepted his apology, and plan on moving forward. Eagles teammate Brandon Graham ‏‪tweeted, "All jokes aside ‪#RileyCooper made a mistake and life goes on. Nobody is perfect we all mess up sometimes. I forgive him and the team does to."

Although Cooper's team say accept his apology, Activist Marc Lamont Hill doesn't believe the apology tweet was sincere tweeting "I'm not interested in Riley Cooper's apology. He said what he said. He meant what he said. I'll vote with my wallet."

MStars News readers, do you accept the apology?
