Stephen Jackson said he 'could've changed my words' when defending DeSean Jackson.
The Eagles called DeSean Jackson's posts"absolutely appalling" on Tuesday. The receiver later apologized multiple times.
"Maybe I could've been more clear of what I thought DeSean was correct about, but I didn't feel the need to go into a conversation that me and him had about how they were treating him and Riley Cooper," Stephen Jackson told CNN."I could've changed those words, but the people that know me -- my Jewish friends that I talked to today -- they know that the last thing I was spewing was to defend Hitler or any other post.
Jackson, who retired from the NBA in 2014 after playing 14 seasons and winning a championship with San Antonio in 2003, has been a voice for social activism since the death of his friend George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police on Memorial Day. "I've been out here fighting for justice and equality," Jackson told CNN."And I was speaking on equality -- why they wasn't handling Cooper and DeSean Jackson any other way. Like I said, they can twist it how they want to. You didn't hear a word out of my mouth saying, 'I hate Jews.' You didn't hear a word out of my mouth saying, 'I'm supporting Hitler.' They can twist it how they want. I don't hate nobody.
A former NBA analyst for ESPN, Jackson played in the Big3 in 2018 and '19 and now helps host the"All The Smoke" video podcast on Showtime."Regardless of his intentions, Stephen's comments were hurtful and inconsistent with the values espoused by this network," it said in a statement.
