Eagles condemn DeSean Jackson sharing fake Adolf Hitler quote on Instagram: 'Absolutely appalling'

The Philadelphia Eagles are not happy with wide receiver DeSean Jackson after Jackson shared a fake Adolf Hilter quote on Instagram on Monday. The team released a statement Tuesday, calling Jackson’s posts “offensive, harmful and absolutely appalling.”

In that statement, the Eagles called on the 33-year-old Jackson to not only apologize, but to take action by promoting “unity, quality and respect.”

The Eagles added they were still evaluating the situation, and “will take the appropriate action.”

Jackson followed through on that first part Tuesday, apologizing for those statements.
