Jones at least donates to Republicans like Perry.

It’s not like the Steelers where the owner gave so much dough to Baraq they made him an ambassador and they have Obamacare rallies at the stadium.

I can't understand the hatred that FReepers have for Jerry Jones. In addition to what you pointed out, he opposes the racist Rooney Rule, a quota program put into place by the vile Dan Rooney of the Steelers, the same individual who didn't thank God after winning the Super Bowl over the cards. Instead he slobbered in his gratitude for Obama. Why Rush Limbaugh remains a Steeler fan is inexplicable to me. Their coach, Mike Tomlin, actively campaigned for Obama.

In contrast, Jerry Jones does contribute to Republican causes, Conservatives and some blue dog Dems in Arkansas. He's a self-made billionaire (read his story about his past) and I think would be among the heroes in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. Yes, Jones handled the Tom Landry firing in a very clumsy manner but they later got past that. He likewise deserves credit for not slinking away from the media after a loss, such as the painful one today at Detroit.

A fair number of FReepers would rather tear down the wealthy than emulate them...

Meanwhile the stadium is all dolled up in pink, raising money for Susan G Komen and Planned Parenthood

BINGO!

but they later got past that.

Not me.

Also, he over-played his hand when he had the Cowboys playing in Little Rock and making jokes about "buying Texas."

The guy is an arrogant jerk and proves cash can't buy class!

I don’t think anyone questions his business ability, but he is a lousy GM!
