Also in that article (yes I did read it) Sherman is making a ton of assumptions about the Eagles that he has no clue on. Yes there were rumors released about Jackson having Gang Ties but there is no evidence that he was released solely for this reason. The guy was being paid $10 million a year (#1 receiver money) yet was playing more like a #2. Throw in it is documented that this past season he started missing meetings and was showing up late to practice. He also is reported as butting heads with head coach Chip Kelly as he didn't like the quarterback change. Guess it doesn't matter to him that the team started actually winning and made the playoffs after they made the quarterback change.
So again Sherman is taking some major leaps in this article and bad mouthing an organization that has been known to give guys 2nd chances when nobody else would. I wouldn't say Sherman is accusing them of being racist just more him saying they are judging him by the people he hangs out with who just happen to be a bunch of black gang members. Again there is no evidence to suggest this is the reason or even one of the reasons the Eagles decided to let go of Jackson. So if anybody should be accused of slander in this situation it would be that of Sherman and the way he is speaking about the Eagles.
Let me ask you this
What kind of evidence do you expect to surface about the reasons why a person is released especially if it concerns this
particular issue.
No organization is going to allow such evidence to leak about this kind of stuff. So just because there isn't a written or recorded statement that absolutely incriminates the eagles, does not mean there isn't some truth to it.
All sherman is doing is defending jackson's character. Evidence didnt stop every media outlet to report about jackson's possible gang affiliation being linked to his release. Evidence didn't stop people from judging jackson's character and saying all the demeaning things that have been directed towards him.
Sherman makes a lot of valid points in his article about the double standards that exist yet you're here nitpicking about evidence.
This isn't the court of law. This is the real world where people get judged and their name gets smeared in the dirt whether there's evidence or not.
