A Vanderbilt University assistant football coach named Dan Jackson has been sidelined over a post defending Kanye West in his anti-Semitic comments. Everyone who condones Kanye’s nonsense gets a piece of what he’s been served with.
TMZ Sports got the details;
A Vanderbilt University assistant football coach has been temporarily relieved from his duties … after he wrote out a social media post that appeared to be defending Kanye West in wake of the artist’s recent antisemitic remarks.
Dan Jackson, the school’s defensive backs coach, initially posted the comment on his Facebook page — saying in it, “Kanye is two steps ahead of everyone.” He added in the post, “He’s not crazy.”
Jackson later apologized for it all, calling his wording “careless.”
“I accept full responsibility for my words and will learn from this experience going forward,” Jackson said.
But, the Commodores announced almost immediately after the post was discovered that they were investigating it all … and on Monday night, athletic directorCandice Lee said the coach will be sidelined as the probe pushes forward.
“Coach Jackson and I have agreed that he will step back from his responsibilities with the team,” Lee said in a statement … adding, “To be clear, Vanderbilt rejects antisemitism, racism and discrimination in all its forms.”
Jackson is in his first year at Vanderbilt. He previously coached at Northern Illinois and South Dakota State.
The Commodores — 3-6 this season — play next against Kentucky on Saturday.
Imagine potentially losing your job over supporting Kanye West on social media.
Some things you need to keep to yourself. This man looks like he has family support. Imagine telling your wife you were suspended without pay because you are a fan of Yeezy. Stop being this stupid person; it isn’t worth it.
