Pittsburgh Steelers Offensive Tackle Zach Banner posted a video in response to an anti-Semitic Instagram post by DeSean Jackson on Twitter, becoming one of the first  NFL players to speak out on the issue. His video has now been viewed over 700,000 times, giving him a large platform to speak out on this issue.

Banner joined Zeta Beta Tau at the University of Southern California where he was an All-American offensive tackle for the Trojans. His experience in the Fraternity and at USC taught him about the Jewish community and anti-Semitism. He credits his ZBT brothers with sharing their experiences as part of his learning about the Jewish community.

Banner’s messages have been  gaining traction on social media, and he is using this is an opportunity to educate. In addition to his work with anti-Semitism, Banner gives back through the  B3 Foundation, which supports youth in Tacoma, Wash., Los Angeles and Guam.

Banner has continued this important conversation on social media, and has posted videos and messages that educate and support.

You can also listen to Banner on the Jake Asman show where he discusses his recent work and how ZBT shaped him.
