Burgundy&Gold4Ever Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I think this is the first time ever that I have used the words classy and Eagles in the same sentence! Nonetheless, it is so impressive how DeSean Jackson and a couple of other Eagles went out of their way to help a bullying victim feel better about himself. Their gracious actions deserve recognition.

#98QBKiller Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Typical crybaby Eagles fan. (J/K, props to Desean Jackson and the other Eagles, that was a very classy move. They made that kid's year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasCowboyFan156 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 That was way cool. I've been very critical of DeSean Jackson's behavior and show boating but he earned definite points on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrifNick21 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Am I the only one that doesn't see anything special about it? He gave him a signed jersey and sat there and said he's brave? Whoopty. As for the kid, glad he's alright. Bullying sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the kid, glad he's alright. Bullying sucks. If it was a Redskin player doing something like this there would already be a four-page thread praising his actions. I think it's nice of D-Jax and the other two players (Herremans and Peters, I believe) to have done this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCliche21 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I don't care how self-promotional that was on Jackson's part, those guys made it to the set and gave that kid the happiest day of his life. That's pretty incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadExField Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 yeah they did make that kids day for sure, but they didn't need to come on TV to do all that. Reminds me of how some people only do a good deed to be seen by people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a Redskins message board. deseana has done a total of 1 nice thing now, must make up for all the dbaggery he's done previously. ---------- Post added February-4th-2011 at 09:23 AM ---------- yeah they did make that kids day for sure, but they didn't need to come on TV to do all that. Reminds me of how some people only do a good deed to be seen by people that's exactly right, let's be honest, the only reason deseana was there were for the cameras. Here's your jersey, your brave, look at me look at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for the kid, but Jackson is all about himself. He couldn't even keep his skinny ass away from hogging the camera when Aaron Rodgers was doing his post game interview. You know, the one after he kicked the Philadelphia's ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 i hate desean jackson, so.... whats the over under on him smoking a huge blunt in his car before he hooked that kid up? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Amazing...NFL players give back to their community and do a nice thing. However, because they play for a team other than the Redskins, we find a reason to make it sound like it's NOT a nice gesture. Good for DJax and the others.

TonyRomoProBowl Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 fans make me sick....Period! We turn into hateful jerks, just because people wear jersey's of a team we don't root for. Man, count me out of that kind of bull.....call me a blow-hard all you want. I am 39 years old, and have "rooted" for one team my entire life, and no matter what, its still LIFE!!!!!! and that is still FOOTBALL!!!! its a game man.......this is life we are talking about! This was a cool thing to do, period. And most of you guys prolly have no clue how bad bullying is or even care...but its a horrible nightmare to some kids/families..... I know i have had my son transferred to another school and have to drive him to the bus stop, then he takes the bus to school.......and until you have a clue about how bad it really is, you will prolly continue to make light of it....Well people, I am here to tell you. Its not a joke! Also here to say, That was awesome........Good For D Jack!!!!! I don't care what team he plays for that was a great thing to do period! If you are a fan on this forum and you made a BS comment about DJack, st because he is an Eagle...then you have real issues with your own self and your own life. You need to take a look in the mirror an realize whats important...and try to differentiate between life and sports! be ashamed of yourselves for it too.

I hate the Eagles just as much as all other NFC east fans, but this was a class move. Plain and simple. This moment for the kid is going to go a long way for him in his life. Props to Desean.

As much as I don't like him on the field (and I'm sure you can agree with me on that TRPB), that was an awesome gesture for the kid. That'll be one of the best memories of his life and he can turn the bullying into something positive, at least that instance. That more than makes up for him having to suffer through being on The View . The only thing I'm worried about now is that the kid could get bullied again by those same guys because of what happened.
