Denzel rips Jerry Jones, 'He ain't thinking about us, he's thinking about his pockets!
Despite being the most valuable and recognizable sports franchise in the world, the Dallas Cowboys aren't without their problems. At the heart of those issues is the organizations leadership under owner Jerry Jones. As a business owner, Jones is as successful as anyone in the sports world. His team prints money, but it's not what fans care about. That point was made abundantly clear when noted Cowboys fan Denzel Washington joined ESPN's First Take to be the latest person in line to hammer Jones on how he runs his team. Washington, on set with producer Spike Lee to promote his upcoming movie release Highest to Lowest, professed his love for the team. He speaks about being a Cowboys' fan since the 1960s. His frustration over the team's inability to win over the last three decades falls squarely on the shoulders of Jones. Washington's biggest line that "you (Jones) haven't been to the show, so you wouldn't know what it is to win" resonates extremely loudly for Cowboys fans. To most football observers, Jones is the foremost reason for the franchises failures since the turn of the century, something the Oscar winning actor appears to agree with. The contention that Jones chooses money over winning is something that gets closer to being reality every year. This is what 30 years without winning anything of note gets Jones and his Cowboys; being mocked and ridiculed by one of the world's most famous people. At some point the embarrassment has to set in. Which, in turn, will lead to changes in how the organization does business, right? Don't bet on it. If this offseason has taught us anything, its that Jones does not care about what people think, he's not changing, and he believes every time the Cowboys are brought up it brings attention and more importantly, dollars. While that might be Jones' agenda, it's a far cry from what the fans, including famous ones like Washington, are clamoring for. The money is nice for the Jones family, but its success on the field that matters to most to everyone else. For Dallas Cowboys fans big and small, winning a Super Bowl is what means something, not the money. Follow Cowboys Wire on Facebook to join in on the conversation with fellow fans!
