Eagles’ DeSean Jackson Apologizes for Anti-Semitic Posts

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson issued an apology after posting anti-Semitic images of quotations incorrectly attributed to Adolf Hitler and praising Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

“I post a lot of things that are sent to me. I do not have hatred towards anyone. I really didn’t realize what this passage was saying,” Jackson wrote in an Instagram post along with a video apology.

The Eagles released a statement acknowledging their receiver’s comments, saying they spoke with Jackson and are continuing to evaluate the circumstances and will take appropriate action.

The statement and apology follow an earlier call from Philadelphia’s Anti-Defamation League requesting an apology from Jackson.
