O.K. I can only stand so much ignorance before I speak up. Jerry Jones has single-handedly changed the way that the NFL markets itself and it's brand. There wasn't even a concept of selling naming rights to your stadium until Jones did it (and fought the league to do it). That ONE single thing has generated, literally, billions of dollars into the NFL economy. He didn't stop there. He went ahead and named the rights to the field, itself. He helped spearhead selling game rights to ESPN (which started as a a Sunday Night Football and parlayed into a much more lucrative Minday Night Football deal). Ditto for not only the NFL Network, Sirius NFL Radio, and the NFL Sunday Ticket (which was originally conceived by Jones to be a Cowboys only ala carte deal broadcast on a Dallas Cowboys nationwide network and the league jumped in to get their cut of the idea and the pie). He spearheaded the way for owners to generate revenue beyond what the league was allowing them to do beforehand (he sued the league to get it done and won opening the gates for every other franchise to generate their own revenue streams).
This nomination has absolutely nothing to do with the success of the Dallas Cowboys, so you can take your butthurt and slam it up where the sun doesn't shine. It's the Pro Football Hall of Fame, not Floaty's Shallow Shrine of Pity. Jones has been THE leader of the pack when it comes to growing this league's popularity, marketability, and exposure. Every single owner that builds a 1B+ stadium, every fantasy football league business that generates millions upon millions of dollars a WEEK, and every UFA that signs a multi year multi million dollar deal needs to thank the lord for the opportunity, thank their momma for giving them birth, and then promptly attach their lips to the *** of Jerry Jones because his vision and leadership made it it worth billions more than it would have ever been without him.
Your whinefest changes absolutely nothing about any of that.
