Clay Travis: Not One NFL Player Condemned Desean Jackson For His Remarks

I know we live in an era where many people want to argue that everyone has to be treated differently based on their race, gender, religion, or ethnicity.

People get mad at me because I treat everyone the same. May not be well. But I treat everyone the same. Gay, straight, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, it’s not difficult.

Treat everyone the same.

Desean Jackson goes on Instagram and says all sorts of stupid things about anti-semitism. He tries to quote Hitler, it’s not even a real Hitler quote. It makes absolutely no sense.

It all piles up together. You ever read something from someone who isn’t very smart.

My brain works very well. Hate to brag but I’m super smart.

So if I read something from someone really dumb, I have to translate my brain into idiot-mode to try to understand what they are trying to say.

I still couldn’t figure out what Desean Jackson was trying to say.

His argument and his racism and his anti-semitism was so stupid that I couldn’t even figure out what he was trying to say. That’s how dumb it was.

Desean Jackson has since apologized.

But Desean Jackson hasn’t been criticized by a single NFL player for what he said.

Not one current NFL player has ripped Desean Jackson for his blatant anti-semitism, for his stupidity, and for his hate-mongering — all of the things that the NFL claimed the cared about in their NFL player coalition.

Compare that to the response from NFL players when Drew Brees said he would stand for the anthem and he considered it disrespectful to kneel.

The entire NFL felt compelled to rip Drew Brees across the entirety of the league when he had the audacity to say he stood for the national anthem and to respect his two grandfathers who fought against the Nazis in the World War II.

The entire NFL condemned Drew Brees. Players came out of the woodwork. Everyone who had a Twitter or Instagram account, they all took aim at Drew Brees for saying he was going to stand for the national anthem.

Drew Brees should have never apologized but he did because he was ripped by so many different people.

You know how many NFL players have ripped Desean Jackson for actual hate and propagation of anti-semitism? Zero, including Malcolm Jenkins who went on Instagram crying his eyes out.

Malcolm Jenkins, a grown man, who cares so much about social justice he was crying on Instagram and got himself a CNN deal. Not one word about Desean Jackson.

If you cry over the opinion of another grown man, you are either an actor or you are way too much in your emotions.

There aren’t a grown man alive that can say an opinion can make me cry.

But the tears were pouring down the face of Malcolm Jenkins. How dare Drew Brees stand for the national anthem.

What did Malcolm Jenkins say about Desean Jackson? Zero.

What did the players coalition say about Desean Jackson? Zero.

If you claim that you care about hate, injustice, and persecution of minorities in this country and then you say nothing when anti-semitism is spoken, you aren’t telling the truth.

you want to be a victim, you want to blame other people, but you don’t want to hold yourself to the same standard that you hold other people to.

The NFL social justice warriors are frauds. They are hypocrites. They haven’t said a word. All of these NFL players who suposedly care about social justice. Not one word about a prominent NFL player going after everyone in the Jewish community.

I want you to think about this.

Just compare it the reaction to Drew Brees. Drew Brees said nothing wrong and the entire NFL community came after him.

Desean Jackson said something 100% wrong. I’m not saying he should be canceled or lose his job.

But if you care about coming after people for saying insappropriate things and trying to make the world a better place, how is every NFL player completely silent on Desean Jackson and they came after Drew Brees.

There are different standards for different people. The NFL has an identify-politics issue.

Certain people can get away with saying whatever they want even if it is offense, racist, or hateful.

Other people can’t even have an actual opinion.

This is a failure of the NFL on an epic level
