Philadelphia Eagles' owner's company completes anti-neo-fascist documentary, "The Meaning of Hitler"

Jeffrey Lurie previously won an Academy Award for the documentary "Inside Job," on Wall Street corruption.

"We couldn't be prouder that 'The Meaning of Hitler' is the first completed film made by our new documentary production company, Play/Action Pictures," Lurie said in a statement. "I envisioned Play/Action to be a leading creative force for films that engage with the most crucial and challenging issues of our time. The rise of white supremacy and neo-fascism in the United States and the world over are among the most important and serious threats we face today."

We have an anti-Semitic problem on our beloved Eagles. Google “Desean Jackson”.

It will be interesting to see how it is handled by management who is Jewish: the owner, the general manager, the former general manager, etc.

The announcement comes as Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson has received widespread condemnation for his social media posts, including an anti-Semitic message that he attributed to Adolf Hitler.

Jackson spoke with Lurie and general manager Howie Roseman -- both of whom are Jewish -- on Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Tim McManus, with Lurie expressing deep disappointment in Jackson about the social media posts. Jackson expressed a desire to educate himself and to work directly with the Jewish community, and his camp contacted the rabbi at Chabad Young Philly a short time later to discuss ways for Jackson to donate to and work with the organization.
