An accusation against Jerry Jones goes to the question of racism in the NFL and in the Dallas Cowboys and is causing league wide ripples.
Jim Trotter, a former NFL.com columnist, has made a number of accusations against the NFL in a recent lawsuit.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones responded earlier this week saying the race-related charge “simply not accurate.”
In the lawsuit Trotter claims that he asked the Cowboys owner about blacks in the NFL.
Trotter states Jones’ response was, “If Blacks feel some kind of way, they should buy their own team and hire who they want to hire.”
Trotter also claims Bills owner, Terry Pegula, said, “if the Black players don’t like it here, they should go back to Africa and see how bad it is.”
Accusation Against Jerry Jones
Jones is currently defending multiple other lawsuits locally.
A sexual assault case against Jones moves forward per the Texas Supreme Court. It was reported last week meaning Cowboys owner Jerry Jones can be sued.
The petition was filed on in September 2020 against both Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys. Legal wrangling and appeals brought the matter to the Texas Supreme Court in May who issued a Friday ruling.
The suit is being brought by an anonymous woman using the pseudonym Jane Doe.
