Thoughts? Should he be punished either by the Eagles or the NFL?
He later clarified his original post and re-posted the original picture which showed he was referencing only one sentence that mentioned white america.
That being said, who cares. People need something to whine about nowadays. The president is tweeting videos of white power, why cant Desean post a message, even it upsets some people. Its the world we live in now, so fricking divided.
Also Eagles didnt cut Riley Cooper after he said the N word, they wont cut Desean.
Dumb post(Deseans not this one). More misguided than anti-semitic, some have been punished for less others havent been punished for more so who knows. Theres a very specific type of people more outraged at this right now though who havent expressed much outrage at other current events if you find that at all hypocritical
Outs himself?
Lulz.
Homer post lol... He clarified it only to try and save face because it didn't get the reaction he hoped.Quote:

I’d bet he’s more uneducated than he is anti-Semitic. He clarified his stance, it seemed genuine unlike scripted apologies. I might feel different if all of his actions up to now were hate based.Quote:

No. Anti-semitism is prejudice. There’s no place for it in society. People who spew it should be criticized, ostracized and shunned from society. That has zero to do with any other issue. Anti-semitism is bad and it’s not whataboutism to any other cause to say it.
What did he clarify? All I can find is him saying that the quote he posted saying that Jews are evil and want to take over the world wasn’t meant to be offensive to Jews. I don’t see how that’s an apology.Quote:

Sounds like the eagles are investigating ways to void his contract.
This is exactly how I feel! Well said!Quote:

Yeah, but just the page he posted goes on about the Illuminati, starting World War 3, and literally "Hitler was right".Quote:

Makes sense because they spent the entire offseason replacing him.Quote:

Agreed.Quote:

Yeah, the Eagles (and the NFL as a whole) have kind of backed themselves into a corner. They’ve buried their head in the sand and/or prioritized profits over people before.Quote:

So if they really turn a new leaf and start taking hateful words seriously, it’s going to be miscast as them just continuing to target and oppress their black employees. So it’s a PR nightmare for them to punish him or hold him accountable in some way.
Then again, the error of their ways in the past has been to try and smooth things over PR wise to avoid a hit in profits as opposed to really siding with the side of right over wrong and taking hateful things seriously. So by NOT taking this seriously they’re just continuing morally with what they’ve always done.
2013 vs 2020Quote:

Welcome back to Philly DJax .. lol .. I guess we know who he’s voting for . They will love him in philly for this 🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸
Not really. It would show growth in the organization. :shrug:Quote:

The problem as was pointed out in another post is the NFLs current stance on hate speech and how they backed themselves into a corner and how theyve been majorly inconsistent in past disciplines so no punishment is likely to satisfy a majority no matter what.Quote:

This should be a teaching opportunity and possibly even allow a larger dialogue to take place.
I’m gonna ask any honest question if this was a White Player how much different would the media react?
This. In 2013 wasnt DV like a 2 game suspension? The league has changed. But for a recent example of racism, AB had to be physically pulled away from Mayock while calling him a cracker and he never got suspended or even fined. So maybe the NFL stance on prejudice is a non punishment?Quote:

Also, wonder how much that Cooper thing had do with the influence of Chip and what control he had. Obviously it’s ultimately the owners choice but Chip could’ve convinced a “ill change him blah blah blah” to keep Cooper.Quote:
