I don't think the Eagles cut DeSean BECAUSE of his race, however the smokescreen they are throwing up to justify their decision only works on a player who is black. So race is involved regardless of the underlying motive (which I agree is almost certainly money).

---

It's blatantly obvious the Eagle are feeding this DJ is a gangster BS to ESPN and other "journalists". What I find most objectionable is the sports media repeating the allegations TMZ tabloid style with ZERO fact checking. They just lend credence to the Eagles CYA party line and have no interest in providing a balanced report.

But Darby. This stuff abut DJ's affiliations has been known and out a long time. A lot of teams knew about it and supposedly why he drafted lower. I am def. not a Philly fan but I am not for making up crap and blaming someone that did not start all this

Because DeSean Jackson is a superstar and attended Berkeley.

Never used any of those words except for when you're 7 and someone corrects you. This generation is markedly more tolerant than the last one.

Yes.

That's what inspired this user name in the first place. I thought that would be obvious from the beginning, but I suppose not everyone uses Instagram.

Well, yes. Also, it was a pretty big story the last couple of days on major sports media outlets (ESPN, etc.). It's the offseason and it involves a well-known former Cal player so of course we are discussing it.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10702959/two-teams-negotiating-desean-jackson

Any ideas on which two teams are in the mix? It's supposedly not a team previously mentioned, but what does that mean? Does that rule out teams like the Niners, Seahawks and Patriots?

From what I can remember he's been linked to the Niners, Seahawks, Patriots, Raiders, Redskins, Jets in various media reports.

Random other teams that you could reason might have a more informed interest in Desean I'd say includes the Giants (cause of seeing him so many times), Chiefs (Cause of Reid), Bucs (cause of Tedford) yet none of them have been more formerly linked so maybe one or two of the speculated two teams are one of those 3?

Rivera and the Panthers are also interested.

Yeah, it's a very strange phenomenon. I also noticed that if a player is wearing an SC jersey, I tend to root against him. On the other hand, if a player is wearing a Cal jersey, I tend to root for him.

Dave, I am not African American (as you know) and I have NEVER used the N-Word (not even in writing when discussing Huck Finn). Ever.

For a white WR in the NFL to use it on tape?????

Yep Rivera (and Rodgers) of Carolina would love to have him: LINK

How come the media isn't making a bigger deal out of the fact that key members of the Falcons, Jaguars, Broncos, and Buccaneers have also all been photographed with a known member of the Crips, a convicted felon who has been in trouble with the law all his life, and someone was arrested on murder charges for a gang related killing previously?

Washington seems like the obvious answer at this point.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24508953/redskins-the-odds-on-favorite-to-land-wr-desean-jackson

I wonder if anybody would take bets from DeSean on where he'll sign. This seems like such an easy money maker for him. Maybe Floyd Mayweather, Jr. will leak a $1 million gambling slip on his Twitter in the next day or so.

Because none of those guys are African American.

wth is this? an affirmative action for non black players in the NFL?

The race card is surely overplayed here. Sure they are keeping a questionable player on the team, but look at DeSean's contract and where he wants things to go. Money of all things, seem to be the driving factor.

Could there be legal issues? Maybe, the Eagles may know something is looming and didn't want to deal with it. But to cut a player because he's black is a pretty shallow analysis of what happened.

Then they might as well cut LeSean McCoy ... seriously???
