Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys owner and three-time Super Bowl champion, faces intense scrutiny over a 1957 photo depicting him at a desegregation protest where he allegedly used racial slurs as a teenager. The host condemns Jones for firing Tom Landry and hiring Jimmy Johnson, while criticizing his ban on anthem kneeling as divisive despite his $50 million annual payment to a Black quarterback. Ultimately, the segment argues that true meritocracy requires ignoring race in hiring, yet suggests Jones remains on a hit list alongside Gruden due to his controversial policies and past actions.

Jerry Jones and Tom Landry00:04:42
Yeah, I got a new show for y'all.
Man, we got a damn good show for y'all today.
All right.
Damn good show.
Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys America's team.
Yeah, he's a Hall of Famer, three-time champion, Super Bowl champion, owner.
He's a three-time Super Bowl champion.
Only thing I don't like about Jerry Jones is when he fired Tom Landry.
That shit broke my heart.
No, Tom Landry sucked.
He needed to go.
I still haven't got over.
He went to Super Bowl.
That son bitch was like 4 and 12 when he fired his ass.
But you don't fire a legend like that, man.
Man, you let him resign.
Jerry Jones, get the hell out of here.
I just don't like what he did with Jimmy Johnson.
We should have had five Super Bowls, Jerry.
Yeah, man.
You know what you should do, Jerry?
You should name your stadium after Jimmy.
Make things right.
He's dead, man.
Directify the situation.
Call it Jimmy Johnson Stadium.
Yeah, this shit ain't going nobody.
But anyway, Jimmy Johnson is in the news.
He called it Jerry Jones.
Yeah, Jones Jones Cathedral.
He called it that before they called it Jimmy Johnson Stadium.
But anyway.
Jim Avenue or something.
Yeah.
But I want to talk about this picture that came up.
And y'all might not know.
We big-time Cowboy fans.
Yeah, big-time Cowboy fans.
Y'all know.
So I'm a little biased.
Y'all know we're going to the Super Bowl.
We're going to the Super Bowl.
And we're going to win by 10 points.
Shut up.
So bring up the picture.
This is in 1957.
Can you scan in on that picture?
Yeah, scan in.
That's just Jerry right there.
That's Jerry right there.
That dude, man, got all kinds of white privilege.
Look how handsome he is.
Look at his hair all combed, slick back.
Yeah, they put that grease in that crown roll back in the day and they slicked it to the side.
That is crazy.
All right, so there was a protest going on.
I guess it was like six black kids was trying to get in school.
Get on the white supremacists in the front.
Wait a minute, they used to let kids smoke and screw.
You're some badass kids.
He's got a cigarette hanging out of his face.
Like that kid with that cigarette hair.
Now, you can tell that is a white supremacist right there.
Well, his dad is like the grand wizard.
Yeah, see the kid in the back laughing him.
Yeah, look at the kid on the other side on the right.
He's like, ooh, black people.
Yeah, man.
I couldn't imagine Benny's black kids going to school.
Yeah.
I couldn't imagine.
It is 1957.
Right?
Could you imagine?
Came a long way in this country.
Came a long way, man.
It's beautiful, man.
All the progress we've made.
But Jerry Jones was in the back.
I mean, it was his school, so he should be there.
Yeah, he was just a bystander, though.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, peer pressure back in those days.
I mean, you know.
Hey, Jerry, you going to the protest?
What?
You ain't?
What are you?
Are you stupid?
No, I'm not.
I'm going.
You crazy as hell, man.
I mean, seriously, I could.
14, 15.
He was 14.
Some reports saying he was 17, but that's a flat out lie.
I think he's around 14.
He was 14 or 15.
He was young.
Y'all want to know what we was doing at 14?
15 years old?
If I did, if we did tell you what I was doing at 14, I guarantee you, all of y'all are unsubscribed.
I'm going to take that to the grave.
I'm taking that to the grave with me.
This was in 1957.
This was the norm.
White schools, black schools.
This photo was actually the moment that they were desegregating the school.
Yeah, so I'm shocked that anybody's surprised that this actually happened.
Yeah.
Jerry Jones probably thinking, like, why the hell was they taking pictures this day?
He looks more like a bystander, unless you got video footage, you know?
Even if Jerry Jones was the kid with the cigarette hanging out of his mouth, he's still 14 years old.
Yeah, we all make mistakes.
I mean, at 14, who didn't make a mistake?
At the age of 14, who hasn't used a racial slur?
I mean, women couldn't even vote back in the 50s, could they?
They could?
I don't think so.
I think that's something new.
You need to take it back.
That damn abortion issue costs us a damn red wave.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, we got to take them rots.
We got to take them rots away.
I'm just joking.
I'm being facetious over here.
I think people know that unless you're liberal.
Yeah, they don't get it.
But seriously, he was 14.
This is 1957.
Protecting the Brand Amidst Protests00:03:19
Jerry Jones is like 135 today.
This is like a hundred and 135.
This is 115 years ago.
Well, it was, how many years?
It was in 1957.
Let's do the math.
Let's do the math.
43.
Shut up.
43.
Shut up.
You round it up to 2,000.
That's what?
40, 40.
43, 43.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
That's what I said.
Why you tell me shut up?
Don't add to 22.
43, you got 65 years.
65.
Which makes Jerry Jones.
Can I tell y'all what I was doing?
Jerry Jones is actually younger than Biden.
He is?
65 plus 14.
He looks way better shape than Biden, though.
Biden looks like he's 160.
Biden, bowl, 100.
Man, I mean, I think the people that are coming out being, you know.
You know what?
I want to say this.
This video didn't surface by coincidence.
He's been investigated.
No picture like this after all these years are going to be discovered unless someone's digging on Jerry.
And I know why they're digging on Jerry Jones is because I never saw or never heard of any Dallas Cowboys kneeling during the national anthem.
Well, that's a policy there.
You can't be doing that.
Disrespecting flag and you won't be a cowboy.
I mean, it goes hand in hand with America's team.
That's not too patriotic.
I mean, Jerry Jones is just protecting his brand, but I bet you, I guarantee you, he's been investigated because of that, because the black players weren't allowed to, you know, kneel during the national anthem, and they're digging up things.
That's the same thing he did to Gruden.
Yeah, but I don't even know why.
Yeah, to Gruden?
Yeah.
Yeah, but I don't even know why taking a knee is so important to people.
I mean, that's a very ineffective protest if you're doing this shit for like five, six years and you still got to do it.
I don't think it's a protest.
I think it's just people that's just trying to piss off people.
I mean, well, it's a pro.
That's not a protest.
That's just being stupid.
Yeah, how's that going to fix the problem?
If anything, you should have stood up, held the flag up, right?
And then what?
And hold your hand over your chest and then maybe wear a picture of whoever you're trying to support.
But the thing is, why are you talking about the family?
But see, the NFL would find you if you did that.
That's good.
You're looking at football.
Yeah, because that flag is supposed to unite us all.
It's not there to divide us.
Right.
Because the flag is because we all have the right to have today, the Constitution.
So why?
I mean, I understand protesting.
Yeah.
But to take a knee, some people say it's disrespect and it takes away the effectiveness, the effectiveness of your protest.
It takes the eyes off what you're trying to accomplish.
Yeah, they're distracted.
So it's a dumb protest.
But you have the right to do it.
Just because you have a right to do it doesn't mean you should do it.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Think of something better.
Yeah.
It's been five, six years.
You cut apart.
What you do?
They don't let the black people sit in front of us.
What do black people do?
You know, I'm tired of this shit.
I ain't riding your damn bus.
I walk to work.
Yeah.
Them black people cost them bus cuttingers a lot of money.
So it's like you know what affected protests.
You kneeling during a national anthem?
It's not if you want to even call it a protest, it's very ineffective.
It divided the country.
A lot of teams, a lot of professional sports teams, organizations lost a lot of money over that protest.
Hiring a Black Coach00:03:17
Yeah.
And people are still kneeling.
I don't even know what the hell they're kneeling for.
Yeah, is it going to change anything?
Ain't going to change nothing.
No, nothing.
So, but anyway, that's why that picture surface.
Yeah.
They're digging up.
Jerry Jones is being investigated by the woke mob.
They're trying to get rid of him.
Yeah, he's number two on the hit list.
He got Gruden, but I think Gruden is going to win.
He's suing the hell out the NFL.
Gruden finna get paid and get a job.
Yeah.
But it is what it is.
I mean, you can't judge somebody by what's something that happened in 1957.
16 years old.
Like, go back 65 years in my history.
What was I doing 65 years ago?
You wasn't alive.
No shit.
That's been facetious.
I was trying to make a point, but you ruined it.
Damn.
I'm just saying that's 65 years.
A lot of things check.
A lot of things change.
Yeah, Jerry Jones, he got black people on his staff.
He's good to us.
He's good to us.
He's good.
He gave the quarterback on his team 50 million a year.
I don't know why the hell you paid him that damn amount of money.
How the hell are you going to get some more players on the team?
Yeah, he's got a black quarterback.
That should be good enough.
I know exactly.
He got a black quarterback.
Hey, man, but how many teams got black quarterbacks?
Yeah, man.
He replaced a white quarterback with a black quarterback.
Oh, he wasn't white.
He was Mexican.
Who?
Tony Romo?
He's Mexican.
He's Mexican and white, I think.
I think he looks more white than me.
He's got Mexican.
Oh, Romo, that is Latino, ain't it?
That's Latino, yeah.
Well, he looks white.
He's one of those white Hispanics, ain't he?
Hey.
He got them white features.
Them baloney lips and the big ass nose.
He Romo, like one of them damn colonizers.
Hey, hey, but make no mistake about this.
He's been investigated.
People are trying to get him removed as an owner.
You ain't getting him removed.
People are trying, though.
Man, Jerry, Jerry, all you got to do, man, next coach, hire a black coach.
They forget all about this.
But Jerry already responded to this.
He said, I make my people I pick for my staff has nothing to do with race, talent, skill.
It's good.
It's good, isn't it?
He's not Joe Biden picking people.
Yeah.
I mean, look, you picked that Joe Biden, picked that black woman as a judge.
Don't even know what a woman is.
She picked that up.
That's what happened to me.
Press secretary.
She's been with press secretary for like two years.
She still haven't answered the question.
Yeah.
You don't pick people based on their color.
You pick them on their qualifications, their professionalism, their acumen.
Look at that one black coach they hired for Chicago singletary.
That dude got so pissed off at his team, he went there and took a damn piece of toilet paper, wiped his ass, and came up to a teacher.
Look, this is how y'all are playing.
You remember that?
He did that.
That's what happened when you hire a black coach.
You about to play.
You're about a whole lot of foolishness for being in that damn locker room.
You better hire the coach, a black coach, just because he's a great coach, not because he's black.
Hey, man, you know what black coach I would hire if I was the Dallas Cowboy owner?
