The fallout continues from Philadelphia Eagles receiver Riley Cooper's racial slur video. Teammate LeSean McCoy told NFL.com he is no longer friends with Cooper because of the video.
The tweet was later deleted, and the older Vick went into damage control himself.
"To address my brother's situation and what he's saying, I don't think it's really relevant," Vick said, according to Fox Sports. "You can't allow yourself to be encumbered in what's going on. I don't agree with what my brother is saying. Riley is still my teammate and he just stood in front of us and apologized for what he said. Somewhere deep down you've got to find some level of respect for that. To people in the outside world who don't know how we're dealing with it, they're going to forge their own opinions, but my brother has to not show a certain level of ignorance himself."
The Eagles fined Cooper for his video and are sending him to sensitivity training, according to USA Today Sports.
