I totally agree . Not many bigger critics of Jethro Jone$ than me. But to his credit he didn’t say when Jimmy would be inducted.Wait. There is a difference between ignorance and indifference. Jerry Jones cares most about what HE wants.
Troy Aikman and Jimmy Johnson are Cowboys fans. Those two Cowboys fans asked him would he put Johnson in the Ring of Honor. He said he would.
That is acknowledgement of what Cowboys fans wanted. Not doing what he said he would do indicates he does not care what Cowboys fans want. And honoring DeMarcus Ware with a Ring of Honor induction and celebrating Ezekiel Elliott with a lesser tribute of some kind, instead of honoring Johnson beforehand, shows just HOW MUCH he does not care what Cowboys fans think of the topic.
Jones may live in a bubble of super wealth and self-indulgence but he is not oblivious to what his fans want. He is narcissistic. Narcissists will do stupid things instead of making intelligent choices in order to satisfy their own desires. That does not automatically make them stupid. It certainly does not in this particular instance.
And if fans recall in that interview when he said he would induct Jimmy, was asked when he didn’t answer specifically.
Fans all too often misinterpret his words just like in his comparison of Zeke to Emmitts return which wasn’t a comparison of their careers and accomplishments but rather their return playing for an opponent.
