Obviously, unless there's a double standard in society, Desean should be fired and given at least a one-year ban by the NFL. Ignorance is no excuse.
If the SF investment banker can be fired for simply standing next to his "Karen" wife in Pacific Heights in the chalk incident, this transgression is 100x worse than that, especially coming from a prominent platform. When quoting Hitler, it is best to think twice before clicking "submit."
It's way easier to get another investment banker who doesn't create a media firestorm than to get another guy who can run and catch the ball like DeSean Jackson can. The employer's incentive is very different.okaydo said:Chapman_is_Gone said:

The NFL isn't society.
DeSean's former teammate Riley Cooper yelled the N-word and got a contract extension.
A guy with a tattoo of a white supremacist group was recently drafted.
DeSean will be fired if he doesn't show enough remorse and/or it's not worth the trouble of keeping him around.

NFL players are silent. Truly disgusting.
Imagine the outrage if a white player said this about blacks or whoever.
NFL players only care when a white guy says something racist. Says a lot about them and the league.

Disgusting double standard. But why am I not surprised. The liberal media is barely covering it.

The idea that NFL players are too stupid or ignorant of Judaism is a bush league double standard excuse.
White guy says something racist, it's over for him. Black players say something racist and I'm hearing players say "it's a learning experience " and he " doesn't understand Judaism"
I'm calling BS to the highest degree. He needs to fired immediately and shamed.
The fact that some of you are trying to somehow rationalize what he says or treat him like a child (hes 33!!!) shows how sad this whole thing is.

All I hear is how "woke" we're supposed to be. Malcolm Jenkins is always reminding us, just like Lebron, all of them.
Where are they now?

1. Drew Brees was told repeatedly over 4 years that the kneeling during the National Anthem wasn't protesting veterans. Repeatedly. Then he equated kneeling to disrespecting his WWII grandparents. He wanted to be willfully ignorant.
That's totally unlike DeSean's case.
Also, Brees is one of the highest-profile players in the NFL, the lynchpin of his team. One of the biggest stars. So having somebody in his position say that was disappointing.
In contrast, DeSean was injured most of last year and has barely been a factor in recent years.
2. The "liberal media" has not been ignoring this story.
3. My guess is that DeSean is totally ignorant of Judaism and anti-Semitism. And I bet a lot of players in the NFL are, too. (Even though DeSean is more likely to have encountered Jews having grown up in the Los Angeles basin.) I think that's why there isn't (unfortunately) the visceral reaction.
I think Mitchell Schwartz's brother Geoff is on to something:

4. DeSean now has apologized twice, has vowed to meet with rabbis, has apologized to the owner, his bosses.
The reason this is big news is that there hasn't been (as far as I know) any indication that DeSean has expressed these kind of viewpoints before. I stopped following him on social media a while back. But generally when high-profile people are ousted for racist behavior, it isn't because of an isolated incident (see Roseanne and Megyn Kelly). If he's fired, fine, he'll learn the lesson about hatred the hard way. If he's not, and he genuinely shows remorse (and it's not part of a pattern of behavior), then he could turn this into something positive.

Kaepernick has tweeted his opinion of the country and the military. The idea that he kneeled to be respectful because some random vet why was SF said it was still respectful is garbage.
Maybe some or most of them respect the military, but Colin Kaepernick does not. If we are going to credit him with the movement, credit him, all inclusive. Admit all evidence.
Regardless, Jackson wont see much blowback from this. You can say anything you want about Jews and IF confronted give a half assed apology and get away with it. It's been that way for like 5000 years. Pretending that it's a big deal is humorous. People will do backflips to excuse antisemitism.

Remember when Lebron James said that Daryl Morey "is not educated on China" and " that he needs to face the consequences and ramifications of his tweet" ... remember that??? All morey said was "stand with Hong Kong" when they were being oppressed (still are) by the Chinese.. Other NBA / NFL players viciously attacked morey. So did ESPN, so did the rest of the liberal media, everyone.
Well tonight they are silent. What desean said was beyond reprehensible. Stephen Jackson made it worse. JR smith liked desean's post.
This is insane, idiot, but not surprising. They have genius ideas like dismantling the entire police dept. Real Einstein's here folks. Sad!
