DeSean Jackson: On the Record

NFL receiver DeSean Jackson posted antisemitic content, including a passage misattributed to Hitler.

On the record

• July 2020 — Posted on Instagram a passage misattributed to Adolf Hitler asserting that Jews “will blackmail America,” and separately praised Louis Farrakhan. [NBC News] [CNN]

The context

Jackson apologized twice, said he “really didn’t realize what this passage was saying,” and the Eagles condemned the posts. The Hitler quote he shared was itself fabricated. We include all of it.

Where Galil stands

Our opinion: Quoting “Hitler” approvingly about Jews is a bright line, even in error. He apologized; we keep the record.
