About an hour ago, the Philadelphia Eaglesdecided to part ways with their Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson. They haven't officially announced why they chose to let D-Jax walk. But according to an NJ.com article that was published earlier today, it may have been because of Jackson's alleged ties to several Los Angeles gang members. But regardless of their reasoning, Jackson is going to be running with a team other than the Eagles next season—and NFL fans are not happy about it.
They're pissed off because Jackson was one of the most productive members of the Eagles team last season. They're pissed off because they think the Eagles should have tried to get something—anything!—in return for Jackson. And more than anything else, they're pissed off because Riley Cooper, who got caught on camera using the N-word last year, got a contract extension from the Eagles this offseason, while Jackson got the boot.
Just check out some of the wildest tweets that we've seen floating around out there about Cooper, Jackson, and the Eagles. R.I.P. to the @Eagles mentions…
Wow the Philadelphia Eagles release DeSean Jackson for allegedly throwing up gang signs but sign Riley Cooper to a contract. #deseanjackson
WTF. The Eagles cut DeSean but have Riley Cooper all those EEMMMMMMsss?
Yeah...so now we talking character issues for DeSean Jackson release...but Riley Cooper used the N-Word and gets a new contract... #Eagles
The Eagles talking about D Jack use to be in a gang so they cut him but Riley Cooper can use the N word what's sup with this @Eagles ?
I guess the #Eagles are okay with white gang racists like Riley Cooper, but not black gangs? Hope @DeseanJackson10 makes next 4 probowls.
#Eagles cut DeSean Jackson for fear of him corrupting younger players but stood behind Riley Cooper.
There's no way that Desean Jackson could have interrupted the Eagles locker room anymore than Riley Cooper
When I told my brother the story surrounding Desean Jackson's release, his first question was, "How is Riley Cooper alive?" #eagles
So Riley Cooper say the "N word" and gets a raise. DeSean Jackson is the eagles most reliable weapon and they let him go. Ha wow smh.
I mean like riley cooper and i like desean..but if u release DJax for "possible" gang ties u have to release coop for "possible" prejudice
So since Jackson a crip he can't be on the team, Riley Cooper uses the n word and stays on the team
Really proud to root for a football team that thinks that Desean Jackson has a character problem but Riley Cooper is worth investing in.
We have more faith in Riley Cooper than DeSean Jackson?
Eagles cut Desean over gang ties but isn't Riley Cooper a Klan member?
Desean a gangbanger? And he been released? Why they keep Riley Cooper?
So Riley Cooper says the N-word and they keep him. DeSean has his best year and instead of helping him they release him?
How are you gonna re-sign Riley Cooper, but release a 3-time Pro Bowler in DJax who has come off his BEST career season? I hate the Eagles
Riley Cooper can b from the KKK , but DJax can't b from the set lol cold case
Because, you know, Jackson's kind of obnoxious, but LeSean McCoy and Riley Cooper are both probably actually horrible people and they remain
DeSean Jackson gets released but Ben Roethelisberger can run around raping and Riley Cooper can call black folks niggers all day long? Ok...
If you had a problem with Desean's off the field issues, then why is Riley Cooper still on the team?
The eagles release Djax for off field bullshit but keep Riley Cooper? Interesting.
There's VIDEO EVIDENCE of Riley Cooper being racist yet he not only stayed on the team but got a 5 year contract. Yet Desean ge...nvm
DeSean Jackson isn't part of a strong locker room but Riley cooper is ?
Riley Cooper stole D. Jackson's job. Straight up.
