Suspend DeSean Jackson

The Issue

As someone who lost too many family members in the Holocaust, I believe the Philadephia Eagles and the NFL need to publicly punish DeSean Jackson and show the world that such vicious antisemitism will never be tolerated.   On Monday, Desean Jackson posted virulently antisemitic quotes falsely attributed to Hilter and also praised Jew-hater Louis Farrakhan as "powerful."  These posts blatantly cross the line, especially in times of growing antisemitism around the world.  This is not the same as expressing a different political opinion or backing unpopular political views.  Referencing someone who killed six million Jews is sick and needs to be condemned swiftly and strongly. "Using his platform to take action to promote unity, equality and respect" is thoroughly weak and pathetic.
