![]() ![]() The Cowboys will split into two teams and will play four quarters – the first three with running time and the fourth with normal time keeping. The game is open to the public and free admission. Do not duplicate in any form without permission.Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was an outspoken critic of NFL players protesting during the national anthem before, now he’s suspiciously silent.ĭallas Cowboys owner and general manager, Jerry Jones, has never been confused as a man of few words.LAKE CHARLES – McNeese will wrap up its spring drills on Saturday morning with the annual spring game which is set to begin at approximately 10:30 in Cowboy Stadium. It’s safe to say Jerry has never shied away from a camera and a reporter. Jerry’s long been known as a guy who speaks his mind – consequences be damned. As the most powerful owner in the NFL, he generally calls the shots. He often speaks from the heart and in the heat of the moment. In fact, Jerry does more talking and gives more input after games than the players and coaches often do. When it comes to tricky league matters, Jerry is the go-to man that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and company lean on to blaze the trail. Whether that’s for a franchise’s relocating, revenue sharing, television rights or just about anything that’s high stakes, Jerry Jones is the guy. He was vocal again in 2017 when Jerry famously said any Cowboys’ player that disrespects the flag won’t play.Īnd Jerry is as happy as as a hog on a rainy day to do it.īack in 2016, best believe Jerry was front and center and vocal when former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick keeled during the National Anthem to protest Police brutality against African-Americans. Well, that was then and this is now and the United States of America has every major city protesting the killing of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer Derek Michael Chauvin (fellow officers Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. ![]() Alexander Kueng were charged in Floyd’s death). You’re the famous owner of the Dallas Cowboys and I want to know why are you so quiet on racial injustice involving Black people? Even Roger Goodell came to his senses and made a video condemning racism and systemic oppression of Black People in this country. See, after the entire world saw the life of George Floyd vanish when a rogue cop parked his knee on Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and forty-six seconds, the Nation finally stepped up and said, “enough”. The Black community had enough of this police brutality mess and locked arms with their fellow White, Asian, Mexican, Native Americans, and any other ethnicity group to stop the longstanding suffering of Blacks at the hands of police. If Goodell can make a video to support social change, Jerry you can do the exact same thing (on your yacht if need be). ![]() Goodell admitted that the NFL was wrong for not listening to their players and encouraged them to speak out and protest in a peaceful manner. Goodell went on to say that Black Lives Matter (That’s a major improvement from 2016 when Goodell and the 32 owners weren’t interested in even muttering “Black Lives Matter”). Jerry, you’re the owner of the most recognizable sports franchise on planet earth and right now you’re as silent as the confederate statues being ripped from the grounds of universities, town square, and courthouses. You do know that the majority of those confederate statues were erected in the 1920’s to scare and remind Black people of White Supremacy in the Jim Crow south, don’t you? You see, if a Black person got out of line back then, they would often find themselves lynched by an angry mob or killed by a racist police officer, just like Floyd. That’s why North Carolina students rose up and tore down that infamous confederate statue that used to look over their campus. The Tar Heels’ students had enough of walking past a statue that represented pro-slavery, White Supremacy, and hate. Jerry, you need to speak up and denounce police brutality, social injustice, and that “Black Lives Matter”. ![]()
