His apology is the damning evidence- he was so insincere they should have shoved him out of the org already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder how this is going to play out. Their stance on Riley Cooper will play into this. Right? How do you hit the "Send" button, click the mouse, etc, when you start quoting Hitler? DJax is a hate filled thug of the highest level. Get rid of his stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't about race, this is about a hateful human being that needs to be punished. If he was freeking orange with pink polka dots, he should be punished, as well as any other race that spouts trash like that. You humans are so small and shallow- all you can see is each others colors, and hate each other because of the difference. That's why my kind have to come from their place in the universe, through the skies, to come to earth and stop all your human madness. This we will do in due time. Those who are peacemakers and have love in their hearts have a chance. The hateful and violent are going to be taught a lesson. Humans- stop looking at the surface of things- look deeper. Love is the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deseans quote isnt referring to every american jew, like roseman and lurie its referring to the Israeli state and Zionism which the US government funds, and its questionable desean is even aware of the anti zionist aspect of this quote and if he is it seems his message is for black people not anti zionism. Why does the US give Israel more foreign Aid than any other foreign country? Why does the US not condemn the slaughter of Palestinians by israel? If one asks these questions one is either branded un american or anti semite. Im actually surprised by the reaction of posters on this board who spend weeks claiming free speech rights then when a black athlete says something they dont agree with then all the sudden free speech goes out the window and public apologies are in order to soothe the offended. Free speech is free speech is it not? You like you some Hitler? Okee dokee. have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDawk_ASamuel Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Some athletes are just dumb and don't have the intellectual capability beyond a 12 year old. Stephen Jackson said he wasn't familiar with Hitler, Kyrie Irving thinks/thought the world is flat, Ben Roethlisberger has the IQ of a lightbulb, and the list goes on. You can blame the system of teachers/coaches passing guys in high school and college just because they're good athletes, even though some of them don't have the reading comprehension beyond that of a 5th grader and can't tell you what the ninth month of the year is. But a lot these guys are just stupid. And almost all of them have a public platform where they can spew their foolishness. It's a combustible formula. I don't think DeSean hates Jews and is an anit-Semitic person. I just think he's too dumb to realize the historical consequences of what he posted and how offensive it is to some people. I'd also wager that there's probably a 75% chance that he has no idea what the Holocaust is. I think this was done out of sheer stupidity rather than hatred. It's not an excuse, but if that's the case it's better than him actually being educated and aware on the topic and having an opinion that it's okay to endorse a quote that he thought was from Hitler. I don't think cutting him solves anything. Educate him, tell him why he's wrong and offensive, and move along. It's also why I say that people put too much credence into what athletes/celebrities think politically and on a human level. Most of these people are too far removed from normal society, or in DeSean's case, just too stupid to have a platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonblood Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Tell you what, I have given this a LOT of thought. Riley Cooper should have been cut, but was not, and yes, I am a white guy saying this- for those of you who can't stop looking at what color a person is. I wish I was F**** purple, just to shut everyone up for a second. That was wrong- he should have been cut. So, don't cut DJax, because you- the organization, screwed up the last racial incident and are going to have to take a mulligan on this racial incident. Do the "send him to sensitivity classes" dog and pony show, make him read about what Hitler actually did to the Jews, bring in a Jewish person who's family was scarred by Hitler 's actions and let them talk to him. Then let DJax decide if he wants to just be a hateful thug all his life, or change his thoughts and attitudes about ANY kind of racial hatred. Fair is fair- Cooper got his "education", so let DJax get his. Then see what he does with his second chance. Could it be he is actually THAT STUPID??? Maybe so, which is incredibly stupid. Give him his shot and let's move on. 2020 is possessed, I tell ya. I guess the anti- christ is now walking our planet. PS- if I hear DJax say some racial shi* about purple people, Imma F him up!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 There's topic on Reddit now.

In a football sense I think they absolutely need him if they want to compete. But in terms of the wider picture then no I don't think he is. He was a temp purchase, to squeeze out what he had left in the tank. His role this season will be to help show the ropes to the younger guys (along with Jeffrey). Any productivity they can get out of either is great, but both have health issues are are toward the end of their careers. They will need Reagor and another young WR to step up. They brought in a bunch of new WRs to see what sticks. Jackson had a great week 1 last year. If he can contribute about 12 games that's about what you'd expect and anything more will be a bonus.

Traveler Vic Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 This is an example of reverse racism. If this was a white player..saying sh.. about black..anything...he would be Gone instantaneously. So why is De Sean still on the team???? I think 100%, that he should be cut...But we are living in a Twilight zone..where if you are not crazy, then you are no longer part of the community. I ashamed that Eagles are not standing up to this trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is, there is a mix of veterans and rookies so they're not putting everything into rookies, nor are they relying solely on veterans. And you expect a 1st round rookie to have an impact. Ward I say veteran, as he's been in the system for 3 years albeit on the practice squad. I believe that familiarity helped him step in and make plays whereas Hollins and JJAW did nothing. If you want to split hairs, fine he's not a "veteran." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utebird Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 13 minutes ago, 4for4EaglesNest said: Ahhhh yes. Not sure what is more ignorant....Jackson thinking Hitler said it, Jackson endorsing it regardless of who said it, Jackson not caring who said it, or you for using the "Hitler didn't say it" defense. Oh the hypocrisy. What happened to "good for Desean"? That was your stance yesterday. Now it's "Hitler didn't say it"? Hitler didnt say it, still good for desean, he had no idea he what the quote meant or its origin but the intent was for positive change. That wasnt the desired result and predictably the media raged about anti semitic rhetoric with out gathering any context or nuance about the quote. The quote is about zionism, zionism is an action not a people, being anti zionist isnt anti semitic but people dont care theyd rather play victims and wallow in their rhetoric and write articles and generate hits and likes then dig into the actual meaning of the quote with out attacking someone. The quote is a piece of fiction but its interesting that it speaks to todays current zionism and how racism against blacks plays a part in that zionism. Either way if desean didnt know what he was posting he never should have posted it. Im pretty sure his intent wasnt to start a discussion on middle eastern geopolitics with the western world😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolg Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Cool. I hope this turns into a learning moment for Desean. I do not think he understood the reaction his post would cause. He has a large audience because of who he is. He needs to do a better job managing his communications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick1234 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I agree with everyone who posted. I mean, who is right and who is wrong? The way these past few months have gone anything is possible. I need an island to get away from all of this crap. Anyway with that being said I think Lurie and Roseman are simply waiting for their time to do something; whether it's days or weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump has nothing to do with this. Take what farrakah said and replace evil jews with, evil leftist liberals. Its the exact pattern tone and method of speech. The same heated incite hate fear violence speech that hitler used, that andrew jackson used, that nixon, reagan bush clinton and pretty much most politicians use to incite change through fear. Nothing new. Were you as enraged about trumps 4th of july speech against the evil left or just speech against powerful jews? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
