DeSean Jackson Speaks (Via Statement) ...

Via the world’s jolliest midget –

Statement from former Eagles WR DeSean Jackson:

“First I would like to thank the Eagles organization, the Eagles fans and the city of Philadelphia for my time in Philly. I would also like to thank coach Andy Reed for bringing me in. Secondly, I would like to address the misleading and unfounded reports that my release has anything to do with any affiliation that has been speculated surrounding the company I keep off of the field. I would like to make it very clear that I am not and never have been part of any gang. I am not a gang member and to speculate and assume that I am involved in such activity off the field is reckless and irresponsible. I work very hard on and off the field and I am a good person with good values. I am proud of the accomplishments that I have made both on and off the field. I have worked tirelessly to give back to my community and have a positive impact on those in need. It is unfortunate that I now have to defend myself and my intentions. These reports are irresponsible and just not true . I look forward to working hard for my new team. God Bless.”

Andy REED? Wow, Jaccpot. Idiocy aside, DeSean’s attorney has a point here. He’s never actually done anything wrong. Everything is speculation. Sure, he’s been a jackass on the field, in the locker room and on Instagram, but as a member of society we can’t fault him for any wrongdoing. In fact, he did great volunteer and charity work in Philly while he was here. We’ll see what comes out (spoiler alert: it doesn’t look good), but for now this is America. Innocent until proven guilty. You don’t like it move to Russia.

At least you can trust the worldwide leader in sports to give us reports and opinions on the issue as accurate and fair as possible:

What do you expect from a network who not only revered a murderer but gave him a prime-time job?
