Seeing a lot of Donald Sterling/Jerry Jones comparisons. Lets get the record straight, folks

[Trouty]

Exactly, DF. The young demo is slowly but surely leaving the League. The League is doing nothing to help it. The older demo's are starting to leave, too

One constant will always be the Jones family, tho

 

[Melonfeud]

I've been known to engage with a bimbo or two in my younger days - Bambi comes to mind - yes her real name.

I really miss her some days.

I miss her, too!,,,er,,, when the days are cold & the nights are long, when I asked for a voracious toothless CASING-LINER, and always ended up with a Revlon, lora'el hair curling ,press on nails wearing stepper of superior driven proclivities
( hunting used to be heap big fun)

Do you, umm, have pics of said casing-liner, Mel?

I haven’t heard anyone compare Jerry Jones to Donald sterling. Donald is a racist. Jerry is not.

 

[Ranching]

I wish posters would stray from the driveby posts and actually respond to little ol' me.

I know, I can't stand posters that go off topic! Speaking of which, what are we drinking today? Lol, btw Jerry is nothing like Sterling!

 

[LocimusPrime]

Man I'm doing a lot of business with Papa Johns lately

So go PJ

 

[Ranching]

Come back yo me when you learn how to read.

Lol, I heard that at my daughter's 5th grade recess a few years ago! Thanks for the memories.

Jerry Jones:

A players owner. Supporter of minorities. Grew the league (to include recent moves of STL to LA with full ownership backing). A, at one point, full supporter of Goodell and part of the inner-circle of owners. THE inner circle of owners (and he may still be, for all we know).

A jet-setter, three time winner (2 decades ago, not withstanding). Never a boon for the league until very recently. A man who brokered billions fist over fist for the league, not Tagliabue or Goodell, but Jerry. A showman, sure, a damned good one. A horrid GM, sure, but when it comes to the league and it's ownership, they could give two direwolf poops.

An ultimate owner who owns the most lucrative AND largest net worth franchise in the world. THE WORLD.

I am not a fan of Jerry the GM, I have been incredibly outspoken about it in my short time here. But he is a fantastic owner for the league.

Donald Sterling:

Owner recorded saying the "N" word multiple times, critiquing his GF for inviting Magic Johnson to games (calling him a "N" repeatedly), and using the "N" in reference to fans. Senile, hated by the league for 3 decades, and considered a pariah for not putting any money into his team, only to cash out. But most of all, known league-wide as a racist.

Once the tape leaked between his GF and him (illegally recorded, but released nonetheless after GF sold it to TMZ once she didn't get her demands), his players were taking off their jerseys before games and threatened to not play. And this is when the Clippers were good, in liberal LA.

Nothing like the Jerry vs. Goodell dealio. Any comparison is nonsense. Lazy.

His wife forced the sale, not the NBA, and he got a record $3 Billion, which resulted in him dropping his lawsuit against the NBA.

His shadiness goes back to years and years of owning shab apartments and the "look" of taking advantage of minorities (how he acquired his initial wealth to buy the Clippers).

This is nothing like the JJ situation. Nothing. Sterling did **** all for the NBA other than cause fissures and squeeze all he could from it.

Jerry Jones and the Jones ownership is going nowhere, and it's absurd to think these two share any similarities. Go ahead and point and laugh when these two are brought up in the same sentence by posters on this board.

This thread was made to squash the comparisons of these two polar opposite owners, and all the comparisons I've seen recently. Truly pathetic slap-assing going around when these two are brought up. They couldn't be further entities from one another.

It is so lazy. Some reporter says "the league is going to take the team from Jerry" and now we have some puppies pooping nonsense about Jerry and Sterling. Yip it!

These two are polar opposites. Don't be lazy.

Seems a little silly to threaten a guy that they just gave a gold jacket to.

Nothing at all. Sterling's outing as a potential Jerry outing equivalent are lazy and inane.

Today, its Makers 46. But very slow this time around, Gus.

 

[khiladi]

My initial thoughts on his anthem comments were he's racist and doesn't care about black people... however after I thought about it, I understood that he would've made those comments regardless of what was being protested.

Players could've been protesting for better benefits for kids with cancer and if Jerry thought it was negatively affecting the NFL and his money, he would've said the same thing. Now does that make him a crappy person in a way? Sure. But he's not racist and definitely no Donald Sterling.

No way he is racist. The guy partied with Michael Irvin in the White House days.

He backs former players like Josh Brent with a place in the organization and has lent his plane out to players in family emergencies.

He is the owner leading the charge for the legalization of marijuana for NFL players.

Yeah, Echo, an obvious miss in my presentation. That, too!!!

Just had a couple of vodka waters at the club. Salud

Coach, you oughta make a thread in the OT Zone about your recent success in the field, my dear brother

Hmmm, 5th grade recess vs a 50 year old man's retaliatory posts

@Direwolf63

You feel big, puppy?

Well, I'm swilling that lamp oil tasting Bacardi rum with weezer chaser's cuz' I'm not letting the sun shine in since last Sunday

 

[Trouty]

I go pitbull in my threads and my stances (as well as backing up my buddies, but that's not pertinent in this thread, really).

I will always, always acquiesce if proven wrong. I will say "I am wrong, apologies" if proven so. I am humble and I try to always be fair. Never above the truth.

But Direwolf, as well as a couple other drive-by posters, sparked the pitbull in me. I apologize for derailing the thread in any way I have.

[ActualCowboysFan]

There's plenty of differences between the situations.

One the NFL would need 24 yes votes. Mara is only one so they're short by quite a bit.
Secondly, Sterling was only forced after his wife took over and they wanted to cash out.
Their respective positions in the league hierarchy aren't close either. A few years ago the Rams move to LA was opposed by 5 of 6 on the committee. Then Jerry came along and last I checked the Rams are in LA now.

And Jerry is handsomer than Donald.
Bloke, a very good post.
I agree with 95% of it.
My only gripe with Jerry is his recent snit with
Goodell, because we all know it stems from the Zeke suspension.
Otherwise, a great owner!
