How could we forget it’s been on ESPN for days And IMO that someone could even compere what Brees said to this POS( quoting Hitler) being equally offensive is mind boggling
Hampton Josh fan Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 These hateful statements should be dealt with in an expedient manner by Lurie and Roseman. If a white player made disgusting ethnic or racial hateful remarks directed at a minority, he'd be cut and vilified immediately. His disingenuous apologies are clearly an attempt to save his job. The problem for Jackson is that in this hypersensitive environment, any acceptance by the Eagles to allow this rhetoric will be viewed as favoritism towards Blacks and supporting anti-semitism. Jewish fans should speak out in condemnation of this display of hate.Anything less than parting company with him should force a boycott by sponsors and ticket holders. 1
vincec Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Does anyone actually have a link to what he posted? All I can find is the apology and people’s reactions.

I guess Tre and Jamal and the NFL media don’t. I don’t really care how fast he apologized tbh. It's like how the NBA cares about human rights until China comes up. Then mum to real human rights problems. 6
Coach Tuesday Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 The owner who signs his checks, and the GM who brought him in, are both Jewish. DJ is a straight up moron. 3

Considering that both Lurie and Roseman are Jewish, I would say that Jackson is in serious jeopardy of being cut.

RiotAct Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 54 minutes ago, klos63 said: Not that it matters, but Jackson apologized immediately, it didn't take a national backlash for him to realize he may have cost himself a job. Brees was never in danger of losing his job, Jackson will probably get released. This isn't the same controversy. right... but kinda two totally different scenarios there. 1 minute ago, vincec said: Considering that both Lurie and Roseman are Jewish, I would say that Jackson is in serious jeopardy of being cut. maybe he wants to be cut? Sort of like last offseason with AB and the Raiders. ”Call the GM a ‘cracker’ and wait for your release. Tom and I will meet you at Boston-Logan Airport to pick you up!”

But boy does it excuse all kinds of really f-ed up behavior and beliefs. Black people can't be racist? Are you shi77ing me??? What do you think BLM is all about? Getting rid of white influence (people, etc). BLM are the most racist voice active today. Just pretend otherwise, though. 1

Getting rid of white influence (people, etc). BLM are the most racist voice active today. Just pretend otherwise, though. This is a very uninformed, negligent take. That said, the Black community has a troubling history of anti-Semitism and homophobia. It’s a fair criticism of the Left that it tends to have a real blind spot for these issues. But it’s a really weak take to suggest that the entire anti-racist movement is somehow delegitimized because one Black dude said something bigoted. Also, as a Jew, while his statements piss me off, I find them so insane that I can’t get too worked up about them. The whole thing sounds mental. 5 1

I had a great team (highest scoring that year), but couldn't buy a break in head to head. Had I made the playoffs, I would have won the championship (yes, I checked). I missed the playoffs by one game and I lost a game that I would have won if he had just held onto the ball. I refused to draft him for a few years after that...
Mr. WEO Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 How dumb are the Eagles for giving this over the hill bum 27 million/3 years/15 million guaranteed? They deserve this idiot.
