The Philadelphia Eagles 2015 team calendar uses a picture of wide receiver Riley Cooper for February—Black History Month—despite the fact that Cooper came under fire in 2013 after he was recorded using a racial slur at a concert.
“It was an honest mistake,” Eagles spokesman Brett Strohsacker told TMZ, which first pointed out the flub.
