Video: Clip Emerges of Jerry Jones Making Racially-Charged Joke

[aria]

They only showed a brief clip of the conversation. Why? Where's the rest?

It's obvious to me, someone is trying to make Jerry look bad here. Without knowing the full conversation, how can we give it any context?

I have no idea and as I said O don't think it's a huge deal but I'm sick of seeing our owner/GM in headlines for the wrong reasons. Just like his picture with the the two strippers in the bathroom, people can make all the excuses they want but it's not a good image for an NFL owner and he's a liability. I'm just sick of it, that's all. Get Stephen to the top ASAP.

So you're saying you'd like to see....A Vulgar Display of Power?

Ha...in a sense it already is a Vulgar Display of Power with Goodell leading the charge.

 

[aria]

And so what if they are?

Maybe they should get over it and move on. Or maybe they shouldn't care so much in the 1st place about some random comment from 2013 made by some random billionaire that they don't even know.

He wasn't addressing the public when he made the comment; it was a dumb joke he made in a social setting. Big deal. It wasn't racist and he's obviously not a racist.

Fake news at it's finest.

Lol, who cares if he offends people? He's not a "random billionaire" and if you don't understand why a prominent NFL figure who owns one of the biggest sports franchises in the world shouldn't offend people then it's not even worth arguing with you.

 

[JoeKing]

Not that I really saw anything wrong with what jerry said, it's always funny to see non ethnic people deciding what is and isn't racist

Agreed but you know how certain people like to play the race card. I can't even talk about fried chicken and watermelon without being called a racist.

 

[Walker]

This is not racist lol.

The flaw with this line of thinking is that what's considered "offensive" is one of the most subjective things in society.

So no, Jerry Jones (or anyone for that matter) shouldn't care about who they offend or don't offend. What he should care about is being a good human being with morals and values, and a law abiding citizen. That's what's important. Not some stupid fake news story about some dumb joke from 4 years ago.

Lol, so does Jerry with his pants unzipped in a restroom with two strippers in provocative positions constitute "being a good human being with morals and values"? It's always something with this guy and I'm tired of it. He's a distraction to the team and always has been yet there are some that will continue to justify and brush aside his actions.

I'm not getting into the whole what's offensive and what's not debate. Jerry obviously bothers me but it's hard for me to care anymore, if he wants to continue to be a dotard and keep popping up in the news for being an idiot then let him. As he gets older he continues to stick his own foot in his mouth. I'd think it would be the other way around but it's the opposite. To hell with him, get Stephen to the top ASAP and lock Jerry in a cellar somewhere.

You and me both, how dumb you gotta be to make the joke, half drunk on video. But going thru the thread I find it funny how other races tell another race what is offensive. And don’t forget, a black man was there when he made the joke, so that makes it ok for how all blacks people should feel.

Spot on.

This thread is exposing a lot of people. How can you not see that there is something wrong with the way Jerry conducts himself? Although this wasn’t racist it’s still something that shouldn’t have been said let alone joked about. Stephen needs to be the face because Jerry is hurting the team with this foolishness.

You're just a Jerry hater!

I think most have yelled about Jerry in his drunken faze. I remember a lot of yelling going on with him and the party bus. That's old news. This was leaked for the sole purpose of pressuring Jerry from his vendetta against the Commish. I don't believe for one minute that Jerry's a racist. He may be a lot of things but a racist isn't one of them. And considering some of the things Jerry may have said when he was drunk this is tame. And none of those owners or that Commish has clean hands.

It doesn't matter why it was leaked, he did something stupid once again. It doesn't matter if it was tame, he did something stupid once again. It doesn't matter if the Commish or other owners don't have clean hands, he did something stupid once again. It doesn't matter if he was drunk or not, he did something stupid once again.

He's his own worst enemy.

So it's not racists but Jerry still needed to apologize? Stuff like this says more about the sensitivities of our country than anything else.

There's not a person on this board that hates Jerry the owner/GM more than me (OK, maybe one) but I recognize the things Jerry has done for his players that he didn't have to do. And most of these players Jerry helps are African American. He's loyal to fault and I don't think it's just about the money. I think the guy really wants Randy Gregory to get his act together and straighten out his life. Same with Irvin when he had his troubles. He's brought players back as assistant coaches and given them jobs when he didn't have to. He kept players around who probably should have been cut or released. I mean, he even tried to find an amicable solution to the Anthem protests that would support his players yet still respect the flag. And he took that knee as an organization and with all the players and coaches.

I didn't see the video. I won't watch it because I think I know the guy from his actions more so than his words. That's a standard I hold for anyone, not just Jones. If folks want to label the man despite his actions in support of people of color, both on and off the football field, then that says more about you than Jerry.

It wasn't once again. It was what 4 years ago? It was nothing that happened recently. I'm sure they'll dig out a bunch of old stuff about him. There's plenty of ammunition. What we're supposed to bash Jerry for all this stuff when we have already done that and just ignore the reason all of this has been leaked? I don't care about that anymore because the NFL didn't care about it at all until now. And BTW I did bash Jerry for all that stuff when it was happening.

4 years ago doesn't give him a free pass for being an idiot. How long ago was the stripper incident? About the same time IIRC and again, it doesn't matter, he did it.

Thanks to another poster I've realized I'm once again getting caught up in this stupid Jerry defecation. The sooner he goes, the better.

Have a good one!

I don't like him as GM and would like to see him gone but that's not happening and what I want more now is for that clown Roger Goodell to take a hike. Have a good one.

Ditto!

I said it when the Titans owners ‘inmates run asylum’ comments were leaked when he was taking the side of Jerry that this was probably leaked by the NFL office.

Probably the same thing regarding the Jerry being the ‘force’ behind the anthem issue late in the game when it was the de facto NFL policy.

Jerry better not play nice anymore and go ham on these guys.

He should play the Jarvis angle.. that Goodell has the tape and lied about it.

 

[Mountaineerfan]

I will repeat what Adam Carolla says, "It's a great time to actually be a racist." Real racist are running around every wear with little to no worries because society is focusing on this kind of comment.

 

[khiladi]

What’s disgusting is these ‘new age’ papparazi’s by happenstanc because they got a cell phone that will leak any information to make a quick buck if given a chance...
