Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson apologizes after posting on his Instagram story an anti-Semitic message that he attributed to Adolf Hitler.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson said he has no hatred toward the Jewish community and issued two separate statements of apology with "a promise to do better" after he posted on social media Monday an anti-Semitic message that he attributed to Adolf Hitler and admiration for Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

The Eagles on Tuesday responded by calling Jackson's posts "offensive, harmful and absolutely appalling" and said the team would take "appropriate action." Team owner Jeffrey Lurie and general manager Howie Roseman are Jewish.

"We have spoken with DeSean Jackson about his social media posts," the Eagles said in their statement.

Tim McManus explains how the Eagles organization reacted to DeSean Jackson's anti-Semitic post on his Instagram story.

"I want to apologize to the Jewish community, Jeffrey Lurie, Howie Roseman, Doug Pederson, the Eagles organization and our fans for the insensitive and ill-informed posts that I shared on my social media," Jackson wrote in his follow-up statement.

After initially receiving criticism on social media, Jackson on Monday said the posts were taken "the wrong way.".

The organization later reacted to Jackson's apology and the Eagles' strong condemnation of the wide receiver's original Instagram posts
