This article explores the controversy surrounding DeSean Jackson's hiring as head football coach at Delaware State University despite his history of anti-Semitic remarks. It questions the double standards applied to athletes based on the nature of their prejudice, contrasting the societal condemnation of anti-black racism with the seemingly more lenient response to anti-Semitism.
This one is called, “Keepin’ It Real.” Keepin’ it real, to me, defies the massive folly of trying to create racial equality by practicing and demanding racial inequality. It’s the pursuit of fair play through unfair play.
What are the chances that an unmitigated, social media-proven anti-black racist could today land the head football coaching job at an American university with nearly 7,000 enrollees? Zero, correct? Even if he’d been an NFL star and had apologized for his blatant bigotry he’d be sentenced to a life as a pariah — and good riddance. Right?
But what if you’ve made it abundantly clear to the public that for no logical reason you, the ex-NFL star, hate Jews to the point where you lean on the name Adolf Hitler for support and validation? Could you be hired to be the head coach of that university?Tony Tucker, athletic director of Delaware State University , shakes hands with DeSean Jackson as the former Philadelphia Eagle is introduced as head football coach in Dover, Del., Wednesday Jan. 8, 2025.
