What'd it say? It linked to this: I apologize to Jordan Jenkins and all I offendedDan Leberfeld It’s time to clear some things up. A mini-controversy erupted this week over something I wrote about Jordan Jenkins related to his comments about the unspeakable tragedy in Charlottesville. First off, let me say I have tremendous respect for Jenkins, and I’m not pandering. In fact, I will go back to what I wrote when the Jets drafted him. “Jenkins, the son of a career military officer, is a class act. He was the Georgia team captain in 2015. He’s the kind of guy want you in your clubhouse.” – Jets Confidential Post-Draft Issue, May, 2016 I have great deal of admiration for him. He’s a very impressive man. On Monday, he was quoted by the Daily News about what happened in Charlottesville, where some White Nationalist scumbags, abhorrent human beings, were given a permit to protest in a park, and it turned into a riot, and Heather Heyer was tragically killed. Jenkins made a lot of great points, like, “There’s got to be a point where we got to stop letting things go idly by and we have to come together to stop this stuff from happening. Otherwise it’s going keep happening and keep happening, and eventually it’s going to lead to civil unrest and it’s going to be even worse than it is.” Spot on. I disagreed with something he said about the counter-protesters, the Antifa group. “They wanted to show their pride and defend their country,” Jenkins said. The woman who died, no doubt that statement applies to her, but I’m not entirely sure Antifa was there to “defend their country.” Antifa showed up to the park armed with sticks and shields, bottles of urine, and pepper spray. A melee broke out, and some crazed White Nationalist rammed into some people with his car, killing one. Two police officers also died in a helicopter crash, and two journalists were injured after getting attacked by Antifa. “At least two journalists in Charlottesville were assaulted by people protesting the Klan/Nazi/alt-right rally,” tweeted CNN”s Jake Tapper on Saturday. “The hard left seemed as hate-filled as alt-right. I saw club-wielding Antifa beating white nationalists being led out of the park,” tweeted New York Times reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg from the scene on Saturday. Without Antifa showing up, these vile fools would have likely just had their despicable rally, and would have gone home with nothing else happening, aside from hurt feelings. They have the First Amendment right to be jackasses, as long as they don’t physically hurt anybody. All I did in the blog was challenge Jenkins to blame both sides. To Jenkins, his family, and anyone else offended, please accept my heartfelt apology. And let’s try to come together as a nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmat321 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Deadspin had a write up on it. Had no clue Dan L was a Breitbart contributor. With Steve Bannon out in Washington, maybe Chris Johnson will bring him on to supervise Eric Allen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbatesman Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 What I like best about JN is how easy it is to post photos from a mobile device.
