A photo of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones at a pro-segregation rally 65 years ago led to controversy. Jones was pictured looking carefree during Miami Art Week. After The Washington Post unearthed a photo of Jones at 14 as he stands in the back of a mob attempting to block black students from entering North Little Rock High in 1957, Jones, 80, has been in the headlines. As part of a larger article on Jones’ failure to hire a black coach years later, the Washington Post published this piece. I don’t think I or anyone anticipated or had a background of knowing what was involved, but I was there as a spectator, not a participant, Jerry Jones told the broadsheet. This was more of a curious occurrence.
Jerry Jones was spotted at Miami hot spot Prime 112 on Wednesday, said a spy, with his wife Gene, daughter Charlotte, and grandchildren. As the spy noted, the group was laughing and smiling throughout dinner, which included wine, champagne, and caviar. Several fans asked for pictures as he left, the source said. The director of “Transformers” was also seen chatting in passing with him at the restaurant. The spy said Jones and Michael were talking about film and football outside the restaurant. The media has been discussing the picture, with Jerry Jones saying he respects the people who are trying to change what has been done. My respect goes out to you for that. Several fans asked for pictures with Jerry Jones when he exited, according to the source.
