By the Dollar Signs: Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys

[Diehardblues]

This. There would have to be a new media presence that would need to start consistently calling him out in every presser that he's a part of. The one thing that Jones likes more than anything is the public attention he gets as the "face of the DC" which of course is why he has a puppet HC.
If there was a media source that would consistently rip into JJ and son to a point of publicly humiliating them with their hypocritical management style, perhaps JJ would think about a lower profile and stepping down. As terrible as it sounds Stephen A could be our savior. LOL

That’s not the kind of public humiliation I was referring to. I meant by the fans. In turn then the media could report and provide their narrative on the rebellious activity and display.

 

[Corso]

Honestly I believe if the fans had rebelled causing any hardship Jerry would have either sold the franchise or moved it but he wouldnt have stepped down.

Like I said, he's not selling the franchise out of the family.
Do you know how many of them are employed, entrenched and will be employed because of his ownership?

Ridiculous to think he'd sell.

 

[Corso]

Maybe AOC's green new deal will dry up Jer's oil futures.....

That girl looks so much like my wife it freaks me out.
My girl has darker complexion though...

What's funny is my significant other pays no attention to politics. It does nothing, but annoy her, so she has no idea who AOC is.

I was referring to before the new stadium was built. Sorry I was thinking that but didn’t state it.

Right on. That makes sense.

Ok....good for Jerry .I don't appreciate price gouging his fans with PSLs.

Dude wants a profit.
He owns "America's Team" and he better be compensated for it.

Jerry likes to make money all the time, bet he installs pay toliets
PS Corso that is called a Johnny Cash

Jerry likes the spot light too much

 

[dallasdave]

No he wouldn't. He'd just hand it to his kids.

They might have to pry it out of his hands

 

[cern]

Having a lot of money doesn't make an individual a narcissist. Especially if the money was earned honestly. Jerry's concern for guys like Randy gregory , etc.Suggest he is not narcissistic. He does care about others. A little hubris? Perhaps.

I would suggest his exit strategy is to turn it over to Stephen and get a hefty check whenever he wants one.

Sports Franchises are gold to rich people.....there are only a limited amount to go around

Once you have one you never give it up...... John Stevens Jones(SJones' grandson) will own the team some day

Just a few numbers and a question.

A_________________

$840 million (2018) - Operating Revenue
+$100 million (2018) - Premium Seat Revenue
$150 million (2018) - Sponsorship Revenue
$200 million (2017) - Merchandising Revenue [Silver Star]
Tens of millions (2018) - Non Football Related AT&T Stadium Revenue

B__________________

$233 million (2017) - Legends Hospitality [Jones owns 1/3]

C__________________

$255 million (2018) - Shared Revenue Streams/Majority Major Television Network Deals
$645 million (Current) - Today's Oil Holdings/Market Value [Jones owns 84% of Comstock Resources | CRK-NYSE ]



Above are available published data of Jones' pocketbook. For decades, some peoples have stated they do not financially contribute to Jones' wealth and people other than themselves support Jones' stranglehold on his franchise. Other people have stated there are coercive methods of motivating Jones into lessening or relinquishing control over football operations.

Certainly, A and B above can be impacted somewhat by consumers' efforts, A more than B of course. Consumers would have far less direct influence over C.

Knowing all of the above, how much would any of the numbers in A and B need to decrease before Jones would realistically be motivated into removing himself as general manager?

He'll be dead before they fall that far anyway. Hell he may live another 20 just to spite everyone for wanting him gone.

 

[DallasEast]

He’s bulletproof financially but not publicly. He could still be humiliated with a rebellious display from the fans.

True but it would take both an intelligent and realistic plan for organizing a significantly large rebellious display to make it a viable effort--not outlandish or impractical but feasible design attracting numerous fans' willing cooperation.

 

[DallasEast]

Honestly I believe if the fans had rebelled causing any hardship Jerry would have either sold the franchise or moved it but he wouldnt have stepped down.

Such a result would have required a financially devastating effort to prompt either a sell or move of the franchise. To be honest, I am extremely doubtful of that idea's practicality looking back at the history of professional sports team franchises. Success would have been a historical outlier for certain.

I get the sense Jones is not on your Christmas card mailing list.

It could have been similar to the half empty stadiums in the late 80’s or local municipalities unwilling to cooperate to build a new stadium like we’ve seen in other cities whose owners move them.

If he had lost his lawsuit with the NFL for stadium rights might have deterred him and more vulnerable.

Without that early enormous success I think it’s very likely Jerry would have been ran out of town with the kind of results we’ve seen since. And he probably wouldn’t have had the influence .But he’s rode that early success and the fans in general have given him a pass for life. I’m not sure why they’re complaining now.

All it would take is apathy at the stadium on display for all to see. Many fans are staying away but they are instead brokering their tickets out and why it’s going to be almost impossible unless opposing fans lose interest.

And why my efforts were initially before the stadium was built. Once it was . Game over. And why most of us wouldn’t agree to the PSL’s.

To Jerry’s credit he’s been able most years to present a relative enough team to keep hope alive during the Romo era and now.

The best hope for the kind of change most fans want we’d need to revert to the Campo years. That might bring in a more proven HC like with Bill but Jerry still wouldn’t step away and why it’s a futile effort now without taking the effort at the gate.

Beyond that any efforts wouldn’t be effective unless in coordination with the rebellious effort at the stadium.

What owners lost their franchises due to the conditions you specified? Even Modell did not lose his franchise.

If he had lost his lawsuit with the NFL for stadium rights might have deterred him and more vulnerable.

I understand the hindsight but Jones did not lose his lawsuit.
