I felt bad for her too you can tell she still a fan but he is all about the money it's a shame what our
proud franchise has fallen to being the punch line of jokes like that.
But Jerry's laughing all the way to the bank.
Jerry looks at us fans like peasant fools that pin our hopes on a silver trophy with some old coaches name on it.
We don't make our money with the team.
It's Jerry's business and he pins his hopes on making generational wealth with the team .
He's already collected three of those little trophies and is smart enough to realize that is not what makes the most money
Greed has always motivated Jerry Jones. It drove him before purchasing the franchise in February 1989. It compelled him into becoming a major stakeholder in Comstock Resources, which
alone makes him worth over
$3.6 billion.
Yes, Jones is a multi
billionaire. Yes, he is extremely for-profit business savvy in making billions from ticket sales, apparel, merchandising, sponsorships,
real estate,
stock investments, other-none-NFL-related ventures, etc.
No doubt. Jones knows how to make bank. It is also unquestionable Jones generated generational wealth for his family
decades ago. He is driven towards making even more super wealth each day. It has always been his nature, long before the world knew who the heck he even was.
It is also true that greed is not his sole motivation. He is greedy but he is not a fictional Ebenezer Scrooge or even a cartoon Scrooge McDuck.
Nothing, literally, is preventing Jones from making even
more billions by simply being an NFL owner. Zero. Nada. Releasing absolute control over football management will not reduce his profit-making capability, literally, by one cent. In fact, a more successful Dallas Cowboys on the field shall boost his profit margin.
So, what does still drive Jones, a lifelong gambler, currently worth $13-plus billion (13 followed by
nine zeros) to
not risk giving someone else, with the qualifications being a general manager, a job that does not stop him from making more money? And will not make him lose money? Over a
30-year timespan? What is it that stops himself from forever handing over the GM reins for five years? For two years? For one year? For even one month?
(I mean, just how many tens of millions of dollars in jersey sales will he lose if he hired and fired someone after a week on the job?)
The answer to those questions reveals what some people refuse to accept, namely, that Jones does not simply run the professional football component, of his entire super wealth making machine, because he is some sort of Uncle Scrooge. Yet, Uncle Scrooge continues to be the
only thing some people still see. Thirty years after he threw a hissy fit and fired a
two-time defending Super Bowl winning head coach for exactly what 'cannot' be seen.
Just venting. Please ignore all of the above.
