Professional football player DeSean Jackson apologized after promoting messages against Jews on social media, including a page from a book that quotes Hitler.

Jackson, who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, also posted praise for Louis Farrakhan, the leader of Nation of Islam. Farrakhan regularly disparages Jews, at one time comparing them to cockroaches.
