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

[robbieruff]

I am not following what the scandal here is...is it because the dude he was poking fun at was going into a racially mixed marriage? Was Jerry prompted to make that comment by the dude filming/in the video as a way to razz his soon-to-be wife? Yeah, it was a racial comment in that it REFERRED to race as part of the supposed punchline, but I am totally not following how this was offensive to the people directly involved. Agreed that it needs a ton more context and that, on the surface, it appears like friendly banter and razzing.

"You know he's with a black girl tonight"?

Ok what am i missing?

Sounds like he is talking about a friend's son getting married but that is just a guess.

I agree it looks bad but I need to know the full context before making a judgement. It looks bad but it doesn't look malicious. In fact the dude that was next to Jerry looks like a black dude.

It wasn't like he was using the N-word in anger. It just looks like a drunken Jerry making a bad joke and making a fool of himself as usual.

And if he did you know for darn sure there’dbe a faction of our fanbase making every excuse under the sun to trivialize it as nothing, lol.

I guess I missed the racial slur part or it went over my head

Goodell and Mara are pretty good at video editing.

Can't watch the video at work, but OH NO.

Says more about our society today (can't talk about it here) than it does Jerry Jones.

Society is basically over

JJ appears to be drunk but I see nothing inflammatory here. Nice try by whomever leaked it.

And it call it a joke is strange. It seems to be comment directed at a person or small group of folks and I would not call it a joke.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I mean probably a lot more videos can be leaked with Jerry being drunk. Can't tell what he might have said. lol

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

I mean if he said the “N” word I could see an issue. So what’s racist about this?

 

[robbieruff]

Can't watch the video at work, but OH NO.

I frankly don't think you're missing much...need way more than this video to make a judgment either way...

Completely down the tubes.

Yes, the nothingburger has returned.

Nothing, but elements of the sports media will try to blow it up. I can see Florio trying to connect JJ to the Dallas chapter of the Klan.

Only need a single person to be offended anymore for it to be an issue.

 

[canters]

And Stephen needs to watch JJ and keep the booze locked up. A drunk JJ is not attractive.

Especially after Sunday’s game.

It's enough for Roger the Clown to say Jerry is detrimental to the league. About the same amount of evidence he had against Zeke. He is the Godfather.

This has been out for at least 45 minutes and ESPN hasn’t even touched it yet from what I seen.

I doubt this turns into anything.

 

[LoneStarDawg]

This clip is a story???? Really??

Hopefully there are no women that will emerge claiming JJ exposed himself or grabbed their butts.. We never know today. Mara and Kraft and Blank have deep pockets, you know.
