Summary

Will the Eagles or the NFL take additional steps to punish DeSean Jackson for his comments on Jewish people? What to make of Stephen Jackson coming to his defense? How does this compare to the comments Drew Brees made earlier this off-season? Why aren't more athletes speaking out against Jackson's comments?

And Stanford cancels 11 of its 34 sports programs...Did they really need to do that when the schools has billions of dollars in endowments? And why hasn't the NFL team in Washington changed its nickname yet?! How hard can it be???!
