DeSean Jackson and Philadelphia Eagles Stand Up for Bully Victim

I hate the Philadelphia Eagles, and that's probably an understatement.

As a Giants fan, I'm haunted by our epic collapse at the end of the season, irked by the constant taunting from DeSean Jackson and overjoyed by their loss in the first round to the Packers.

But with all that noted, that doesn't take anything away from what Eagles DeSean Jackson, Jamaal Jackson and Todd Herremans did earlier today for bully victim Nadin Khoury.

Khoury, who was brutally beaten and hung from a tree and a fence by seven bullies (for no reason) as he was walking home from school in broad daylight, was bravely speaking up against the dangers of bullying on "The View."

As he was recounting his story, "View" correspondent Elisabeth Hasselbeck (wife of former NFL quarterback Tim Hasselbeck) mentioned how they found out that Khoury was a major Eagles fan. With that, out came Jackson, Jackson and Herremans.

As Khoury and his family sat in tears, the crowd applauded. Jackson went over to the young boy, gave him a few words of encouragement and then took the jersey off his own back, signed it and gave it to Khoury.

A truly heartwarming moment.

Will I remember this moment when I'm booing the Eagles? Probably not.

But that doesn't take anything away from a great story. Kudos to the players for stepping up and doing the right thing, and rewarding a courageous youngster who was brave enough to speak up about his traumatic experience.
