Remember last month when Drew Brees got dragged through the streets of social media for stating that he doesn’t agree with players kneeling during the National Anthem and how multiple athletes jumped all over him? The same couldn’t be said when it came to DeSean Jackson.
ESPN anchor Elle Duncan did not hold back in her take on the Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver’s anti-Semitic social media post.
In her parting shot on “Around The Horn” on Tuesday, Duncan not only condemned Jackson, but called out the Eagles’ categorizing of Jackson’s transgression as “a teachable moment” not being good enough and intimated that a double standard was in play.
“There would be deserved outrage if a white player posted a quote on Instagram attributed to David Duke,” Duncan said. “There is no hierarchy when it comes to bigotry. Racism, sexism, anti-Semitism. They are all despicable behaviors. They are all disgusting and as such should all be treated in the same vein.”
Jackson has since apologized twice and stated he would further educate himself.
