There are lines in the sand, and then there are lines that reach down to the earth’s core. Expressing a political opinion out of step with your family might get you some uncomfortable silences around the dinner table. But favorably referencing Hitler? That puts you on the far side of any possible line you can imagine.
Speaking approvingly of Hitler isn’t the same thing as, say, speaking approvingly of the Second Amendment or the right to legal abortion. It’s not just a different perspective. It borders on hate speech.
So why does DeSean Jackson, who did exactly that over the weekend, still have a job with the Philadelphia Eagles?
