The recent anti-Semitic quote posted on Instagram by Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson has stirred controversy around football and beyond. Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz, one of just a handful of Jewish men playing in the NFL, had some thoughts on Jackson’s comments. He posted them on Twitter Wednesday night.
“As a Jewish American in the NFL, I stand with my brothers of all races and creeds against any form of discrimination and hate.
One of the things that makes our game so great is the diverse background of the guys in the locker room, not just from a racial standpoint, but from a religious one as well.
