New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman addressed the controversy surrounding the anti-Semitic quotes DeSean Jackson posted to his Instagram account.
On Thursday, Edelman said he's "proud of his Jewish heritage" and that "anti-Semitism is one of the oldest forms of hatred." The three-time Super Bowl champion added that he was referred to as a Jewish slur in 2011.
Edelman offered to meet Jackson in Washington, D.C., to visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
