I saw Michael Wilbon on a PTI clip overly upset about Goodell not suspending Riley Cooper.

I like how FIFA soccer and the pro leagues suspend players and sanction teams who fans make racist cheers, but if the NFL were to adopt some policy for racial slurs that were said at work or away from work then there would be a big argument about whether racial epithets that refer to the player's own race should result in suspensions.

I don't see how the NFL could justify overlooking some use of forbidden racial words based on the race of the person who says it.

I remember Carl Pickens got into some hot water for saying something to Mike Woodson about his mixed-race parents during a game. That was years ago and may have been a fine, but I don't think there was a suspension.
