Despite a successful comeback he recently landed himself in hot water during an incident caught on camera. At a Kenny Chesney concert Riley Cooper alleges he was intoxicated when he had an altercation with a Black security guard. He threatened the guard and said he would “jump over that fence and fight every n*gga in there.” The incident was immediately sent to TMZ who were the first to publish the video on their site garnering over 1 million views within 24 hours. After the publication Riley was immediately forced to apologize. As of now the Philadelphia Eagles has put him on a “timeout.” He was fined and two days later excused from team activities to seek counseling.
