Chances of Desaun Jackson playing for the Eagles (Whenever they get back on the field). If only Drew Brees discussed a fake Hitler quote defaming Jews instead of standing up for respecting the Flag.

He's going to play just like Riley Cooper did.
You saying he shouldn't get to play? -

And get roundly booed by the cardboard cut out Eagle fans in the stadium during the Second Wave.

I'm not leaning either way because frankly the NFL has lost my interest.dnc said:He's going to play just like Riley Cooper did.

Do you think the Riley Cooper situation is apples to apples?
After all, one was a spur of the moment (most likely) alcohol induced tirade. The other seems a little more thought out.
Either way- it's up to the franchise, and if his 40 time is still decent. -
It's pretty close considering Cooper's slur is derogatory to half his team while Jackson's twats don't directly affect anyone in his locker room.georgiaduck said:

I support the team addressing both as issues but keeping both employed and on the field -
I think Brees is a closer comp
He caved. Jack will double down -
So it only affects the locker room? Jackson might want to directly connect with the owner of the team on that one.dnc said:

Not saying it only affects the locker room. If it did then what Jackson did wouldn't need to be apologized for and what Cooper did would be far worse.georgiaduck said:

But the locker room is damn sure a consideration.

I think the difference in these two incidents is more about the victim culture we’ve created than it is any sort of hypocrisy. Other than Josh Rosen and Mitchell Schwartz, how many Jewish players are there to be offended? The black players don’t care because the Hitler/Farrakhan quotes don’t offend them personally, just as the NBA can exploit China and ignore the Muslim internment camps because it isn’t happening to them.
Most people only care for themselves because these younger people have been taught they are all special enough to be offended.

Not apples to apples. In some ways Cooper's was worse in that his slur was directly offensive to a large portion of his colleagues. Desean's was worse in the sense that he clearly put thought, as little as he has, into making his post. As you mentioned, it wasn't spur of the moment.georgiaduck said:

I generally don't think anyone should be "cancelled" for posting dumb shit at this level. I also don't give a fuck if their employer decides that their dumbfuckness is nonetheless cancel-worthy. -
It's even worse than that. A cursory glance of responses from around the league shows more players supporting Desean Jackson than denouncing him. Shit, Stephen Jackson (the basketball one) posted an even more ignorant defense of Desean's initial post.NorthwestFresh said:I think the difference in these two incidents is more about the victim culture we’ve created than it is any sort of hypocrisy.

"So I just read a statement that the Philadelphia Eagles posted regarding DeSean Jackson's comments. He was trying to educate himself, educate people, and he's speaking the truth. Right? He's speaking the truth. You know he don't hate nobody, but he's speaking the truth of the facts that he knows and trying to educate others,"
Apparently Desean was speaking the truth about Jews wanting to take over the world and oppress black society in the process. That Hitler guy was right all along. Eagles WR Marquise Goodwin then responds with his own endorsement to Stephen Jackson's post.
Fucking mind boggling.
