Eagles’ DeSean Jackson apologizes for anti-Semitic posts

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson issued an apology after posting anti-Semitic images of quotations incorrectly attributed to Adolf Hitler and praising Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

“I post a lot of things that are sent to me. I do not have hatred towards anyone. I really didn’t realize what this passage was saying,” Jackson wrote in an Instagram post along with a video apology.

The Eagles released a statement acknowledging their receiver’s comments, saying they spoke with Jackson and are continuing to evaluate the circumstances and will take appropriate action.
