Stephen A. Smith, Mark Levin Spar over DeSean Jackson’s Anti-Semitic Posts, Kneeling Protests
EXCERPT:
SMITH: “Well, listen, I would say to you, you are right to be incredibly upset about DeSean Jackson and what he had to say. It was inappropriate, it was uncalled for, definitely there was no excuse for him to say what he did say. And then his apology was a bit convoluted, to say the least. On top of it all, you know, the Jewish community itself has reached out to him and said he needs to be educated and he has opened himself up to receiving that kind of education. What I took issue with, specifically with what you’re saying, is the Eagles should just let him go no matter what and how upset you would be with them if they were to keep him on board. Keep in mind you had a player in Riley Cooper years ago that offended the African-American community in 2013…”
LEVIN: “Stephen, I don’t know who the hell Riley Cooper is. I don’t keep up with stuff like you do. That said, this is a hard mistake! You’re praising Adolf Hitler?! That is it.”
SMITH: “DeSean, when I found out about his Instagram post, I called him. And the first words out of my mouth were: ‘What the hell are you doing?! Why would you do something like that?!’”
