And on the ninth day, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took the high road.
Jones has been under national scrutiny since a Nov. 23 Washington Post profile on why he’s never hired a Black head coach included a 1957 photo of a 14-year-old Jones standing behind several white students blocking the desegregation efforts of six Black students at North Little Rock High School.
The issue gained new life late Wednesday night when Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James chastised the media for not asking him about the Jones photo from 1957. James recently announced he was no longer a Cowboys fan because of the way Jones handled the player protests during the national anthem from 2017-20.
