Why are NFL players silent on DeSean Jackson?
The Spectator ^ | 8 July 2020 | Dominic Green

The usual anti-racism crowd is punting.....

In early June, Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints refused to take a knee because he didn’t want to insult the flag. Black NFL players lined up to denounce him.

‘Ignorant,’ said his black teammate Emmanuel Sanders.

‘Drew’s words were extremely painful to hear,’ another black Saint, Malcolm Jenkins said, ‘and I hope he rectifies them with real action.’

‘If you don’t speak about racism, then you’re a part of the problem,’ said A.J. Brown of the Tennessee Titans.

A month later, in early July, DeSean Jackson of the Philadelphia Eagles posted on Instagram an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory attributed to the noted sports fan Adolf Hitler. None of Jackson’s NFL peers, black or white, has said a word. Colin Kaepernick, who is usually so vocal about racism, has been uncharacteristically silent. The New York Times, usually so quick to denounce imaginary offenses against the speech-code mania of the day, said nothing at all. The leaders of Black Lives Matter didn’t order their minions to add this outburst of racism to their to-do list either.

From which we conclude that Jackson’s knee-taking peers in the locker room, the icons of BLM and the gatekeepers of the ‘paper of record’ either agree with him, or think it’s not a big deal, or think that black racism toward Jews should be overlooked in the name of the greater cause of ‘anti-racism’. In a way, it doesn’t really matter which. Any society that establishes any of these beliefs as acceptable – ‘normalized’ as the guardians of speech now say – is heading to perdition.

White players are systematically being driven out if the sport beginning with collefe recruiting. One false move or blown coverage or missed catch, let alone non-black-approved statement (see Riley Cooper) and they are ousted.

That would be nice, but I’m not getting the sense the Right is willing to give up its creature comforts.

Notice that no one discusses holding these malicious corps accountable.

I agree....coaches like Pete Carroll for instance would rather have black players even if they’re criminal and immoral.....

Yup...even though whites are often the best in their position...usually the story is the same...undervalued, undrafted, walk on, not recruited. Its a wonder any make it at all. I mean can you even imagine that JJ Watt was not recruited? Adam Theilen, nothing. Jordy Nelson, Wes Welker, Edelman...

He should be forced to go to every synagogue in Philly beg forgiveness, acknowledge his inborn black hatred of Jews & kneel before them.
Then he should be forced to live in Auschwitz for awhile. Let him receive the Lord’s vengeance.
Let’s not forget it was AAfricans(Egypt) who enslaved the Jews for 400 years...

Obvious proof as to WHY there are so few athletes involved in Mensa.

which is worse, this dumb jock posting his BS, his peers saying nothing, or the entire Reform and Conservative Jewish bowel movements saying NOTHING about the near pogrom in Fairfield last month “(DEATH TO THE JEWS!”), except to attack any religious zionist Jew who complained about it.

Even many “Modern Orthodox” are refusing to condemn it. Any day now I expect to hear how “this week we will have a Zoom shiur on the relationship between the Parsha and BLM.”

I am done with BLM. They don’t give a rat’s ass about George Floyd. All that he did that interests them is be black and die in police custody. They take his black skin and adorn the area in front of their fire place with it, which they light with Molotov cocktails and burning buildings. Their real slogan is, Some Black Deaths Are Useful (SBDAU) and watching them in action is nauseating. They leave a trail of dead bodies of all races in their wake—sorry, woke.
