Or, more likely, the DeSean Jackson story just didn’t get the online ‘cancel machine‘ revving enough, so his team think they can ride it out. I’d not heard this story, but looking it up it seems not to have caused too much of a Twitter storm. I can’t see any news stories that quote any condemnation from ordinary social media users, which these stories are usually full of, and apparently none of his team have condemned him. Several comments on his Twitter seem to be along the lines of “where is the outrage about this?”. Maybe, despite the obvious antisemitism, the fact that he ostensibly posted it in support of racial justice for African Americans makes it too confusing a story for the black and white world of social media outrage.
