After Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard used an anti-Semitic slur on a live Twitch stream (which he apologized for), it's once again Julian Edelman who is publicly reaching out to connect and "offer some perspective," as he wrote on Wednesday.

Last July, then-Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson posted anti-Semitic quotes on Instagram, which he later apologized for.

It was the New England Patriots wide receiver - who is Jewish - who reached out publicly over social media to make an offer to go with Jackson to the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. and they could "have those uncomfortable conversations."

On Wednesday, Edelman wrote an open letter to Leonard, and said he wanted to do a Shabbat dinner with Leonard in Miami sometime:

It's once again incredible to see Edelman offering an olive branch and some education in the face of an offensive utterance.
