Summary
Former NFL wide receiver DeSean Jackson, now head coach at Delaware State, is being sued by a former player, Malachi Biggs, who alleges he was brutally assaulted by a teammate and was part of a toxic locker room culture that promoted violence and hazing. Biggs claims Jackson failed to prevent or discipline the behavior, and instead allowed it to continue.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Jackson’s first season as head coach at Delaware State ended with an 8-4 record, but the real story is the toxic culture that allegedly thrived under his watch.
Biggs’ allegations paint a picture of a locker room where violence and hazing were encouraged, and Jackson did little to stop it.
Jackson’s statement denying any involvement in the alleged culture change nothing.
This one felt recognizable early, as coaches often turn a blind eye to toxic behavior until it blows up in their faces.
As Jackson said, “My focus has always been on creating a positive, respectful place for student athletes to train, compete, grow, and pursue their college dreams.” Yeah, sure.
Original Observation: This is a game where coaches often get to write their own excuses.
