Eagles 'disappointed' in DeSean Jackson over anti-Semitic posts


The Philadelphia Eagles have spoken to DeSean Jackson about "offensive, harmful, and absolutely appalling" statements the receiver made on Instagram.

The Eagles released a statement Tuesday that said the team is "continuing to evaluate the circumstances."
On his Instagram feed Monday, Jackson posted an image of a quote falsely attributed to Adolf Hitler, saying, in part, "(white) Jews will blackmail America. (They) will extort America, their plan for world domination won't work if the Negroes know who they were."

The quote apparently does not actually come from Hitler, but Jackson appeared to believe it was genuine.
After receiving criticism for the posts on social media, the 33-year-old Jackson said his posts were misinterpreted.

"Anyone who feels I have hate towards the Jewish community took my post the wrong way," he posted, highlighting part of the false Hitler quote. "I have no hatred in my heart toward no one!! Equality. Equality."
