Y’all remember when players came out and attacked Brees for what he said and how those same players are silent when someone from their own race posted anti Semitic quote from Hitler?

Yes I do, and it's quite telling.

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

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.

I consider quoting what you believe are Hitler’s thoughts on the Jews and agreeing with it far worse than criticizing holding a protest during the National Anthem because you believe it’s a disrespectful time to do so.

 

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.

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

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.

maybe he wants to be cut?  Sort of like last offseason with AB and the Raiders.

"Black people can't be racist." Fine. 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.

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.

This play cost me a Fantasy Football Championship that year.  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...

The owner who signs his checks, and the GM who brought him in, are both Jewish.  DJ is a straight up moron.

OJ Simpson... Not a jew! But guess who is hall of famer Rod Carew.

You must have not heard of Louis Farrakhan unlike some politician supporters.

He’s mental.  And a raging racist a-hole.  But people like you flocking to this thread to say “See!  I told you they’re all hypocrites!” are just poisoning the discussion.  It’s tiresome and transparent.

Jackson knew exactly what he was saying. He’s taking the easy way out once someone called him out on it by acting innocent. He quoted Hitler, which in itself was insensitive. I’m tired of the one way bull crap. This should be viewed in the most negative way, but will be swept under the rug because it doesn’t fit the current narrative. What a joke...

He’s a good boy, you forgave him 2 minutes before he posted it.   
 

Which Hitler quotes are your favorites ?

 

Quoting Hitler and saying you want people to respect the flag is not on the same level.

Please point to your first post stating we need to listen to how it hurts Jews.

The post, on it's own merit, is reprehensible.  No need to mischaracterize it as a Hitler quote.

 

And I don't get this line of thinking.  Were Jewish players vocal about Brees' remarks?

They spoke out on racism and bigotry. Why are you differentiating for them?

I didn't defend Jackson

Again, not defending Jackson, just pointing out the differences, but obviously some don't care. Jackson will probably lose his job, Brees will get paid $25 million this year.

So you think what Brees said is somehow equally offensive to black people as what this POS said about Jews ?? 
There are thousands if not millions of black people who feel the same way about the flag and love for the country as Brees does , do you think there’s ONE single Jew who would support what this POS said ???

Can you give a reasonable explanation why this coverage has been so light?

I don’t get this line of thinking. Only people directly affected by bigotry or racism against people of their common origin should speak out against it?

What an ignorant and ridiculous statement.

 

I don’t want to draw conclusions until things settle, but it will be telling to see the comments on this subject from the folks that lambasted Jake Fromm.

 

As someone that grew up in a family where one side were practicing Jews that never missed temple, I try not to be too sensitive.

Truly reprehensible and indefensible. Deserving of similar outrage and criticism that Drew Brees and Jake Fromm received. No disputing that. 
 

However, anyone looking to use this as an example to discredit BLM or legit racial inequalities for POC really need to get a grip. I know it’s hip to choose sides these days, but it’s not an either-or scenario. These comments, as well as those systemic and institutional injustices, are both wrong and unacceptable.

Well, ESPN’s Matthew Berry and former NFLer turned podcaster Geoff Schwartz have more or less put NFL players on blast regarding Jackson’s post.


Safe to say that Jews across the NFL world are watching and taking note of whether the players mean what they say.

In the mean time we are waiting to hear from the same players who jumped on Brees for his statement,  And where’s ANTIFA on this ?
