New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman released a video over his social media accounts Thursday in response to recent anti-Semitic comments made by Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson over his own accounts.
In an Instagram story, Jackson included an anti-Semitic quote widely attributed to Adolf Hitler and praise for political activist Louis Farrakhan, who has a history of supporting anti-Semitic beliefs.
Earlier this week, the Eagles condemned Jackson’s story in a statement Tuesday, and he later spoke with both team owner Jeffrey Lurie and General Manager Howie Roseman, both of which are Jewish.
