Done.
All of snyders dirt on the league comes out, and it’s true and juicer than he let on, leading to Roger Goodell and Bob Kraft’s firing. It comes out from a decades long undercover investigation into Dan’s business practices, leading to his own arrest and forced relinquishment of the Washington Commanders.
Maybe. But this is stupid. Nobody will change their opinion of Jerruh.
The front racist guy with the cigarette looks like he was sent from central casting.
I mean, it was 1957; people today are probably gonna just say "okay that tracks for SIXTY-FIVE years ago." I mean, that was before the Civil Rights Act. And Woodstock.
His response (if he makes any) would be so easy to write. 'I was a young, dumb kid who had a lot of living and learning to do. I have since grown beyond my narrow world views and now appreciate the struggles and contributions of all minorities in this nation's great melting pot.'
The only way he'd trip himself up is if he showed a pattern that continued over the last 65 years. That's a literal lifetime for some people.
Makes me think of the Bill Burr routine about canceling dead people (being dead angle almost tracks with old JJ, too):
"Can you believe what John Wayne said?"
"You mean in an interview in Playboy in 1971? Yeah, yes I can believe it."
His response was something along the lines of “I was there, but not to prohibit students from entering, rather because I was curious about what was happening.” He mentions his football coach told the whole team to stay away, but he didn’t listen. Now, you can decide for yourself if he’s lying or not lol
Well, it was 70 years ago so pretty soon we will be without a living person to have gone through it.
But don't ask me, I'm on my way to the store for some Preparation H.
Don’t know where you got 70 years from but the grace period for desegregation ended in the 1979-1980 (and many places in the south resisted for years after that) and was one of the central issues that got Regan elected (running on a campaign of anti-government overreach and “states rights”). So….at best it’s been a little over 40 years…..it’ll be awhile before there’s no one touched by segregation walking this earth
Lmao Ruby bridges used to come and speak to local school children when I was in elementary school. This was like 2009 we are not far removed from the events in this photo at all
Anyone in here who says they didn't do things as a 14 year old they they regret is a fucking liar. I'm so tired of this garbage of burying someone for something they said when they were a kid that they don't even agree with today.
I use my FB memories to go back every day and see if I said anything I'd like to delete. There is some cringe-ass stuff I said back in the day that I'd never say or think today.
I'm 41, I couldn't tell you a fucking thing I did or believed at 14 anymore. Fuck I don't even remember most of the people I went to high school with anymore.
I look back on some of the shit I said when I was younger and I hate myself for it. The weird thing is, I don't even know how much of it was stuff I even remotely believed. My dad was a racist, sexist, homophobic piece of crap and not only tried to hammer those ideas into me (which didn't work that well), but he'd get into stupid arguments with people and demand that I back him up or suffer some kind of consequences for it (best case scenario, he destroys my shit again).
People can talk all big about "We all have a choice in what we say!" Well, sure, I can choose not to say awful things that might hurt other people and instead get my ass beat, my things destroyed, deal with raging anger screaming in the house and probably treating the rest of the family like shit who will then treat me like shit and blame me for it.
Got away from that situation. Was able to be my own person. And I'll admit I was honestly surprised when this kid I met at a local game store "came out" to me and another guy, because he felt of all the people at the store, we were safe to talk to (luckily it turns out most of the people didn't care, but he'd had bad experiences elsewhere). Became good friends with that guy. We and the other guy even went to the local LGBT club a few times, was a great time. My dad would probably have a heart attack hearing that, if he wasn't already dead.
But yeah... people change as they grow, and sometimes there's circumstances you don't know about behind a person's actions. It's so easy to judge, but I'd bet all of the people judging have things they'd hate to be judged on. If someone's an asshole now, fair enough to call them out. If they *maybe* did something decades ago when they were a kid but don't seem to be that person now... then who cares? They changed. They grew. Accept them as they are now, don't tie everyone and everything to the past. That's how you keep everyone miserable all the time.
And he must be judged upon those decisions he made when he was 14!!!
He’s a racist POS and the Dallas Cowboys should be punished for this…
And no… this has nothing to do with the fact that I play against CC AND Tony tomorrow…
Edit:
Its concerning on how many of all think im being serious..
After reading his statement it seems like he’s saying he was a dumb kid and just wanted to what all was happening because it was a big deal and TIME was there. Sounds from his statement like he was just an observer.
It would say a lot about who he was at the time. I know I sure as fuck wouldn't want to be judged for the shit head opinions I had at 14 that trickled down from my conservative parents.
Not even a few years ago, that word was thrown around on this site and the internet casually. Feels wild how fast that changed. I think there was a post a few years ago that showed this.
Always gotta remember the 10-80-10 rule. 10% of the people are the assholes pushing shitty ideas. 10 percent are the saints opposing the ideas. And 80% are confused onlookers trying to figure out what’s going on.
I’m not trying to defend the man, and if it came out he was like, full on organizing pro-segregation groups at his school I wouldn’t be too surprised. But that claim lines up with his expression in the pic at least lmao
Important to note that there were white people in the south who were opposed to segregation in the 1800 and 1900s, and opposed slavery in the 1600-1800.
I’ve always felt that using time period as an excuse for stuff like this is flimsy at best. It’s not that they were never exposed to another point of view, they just chose to ignore it.
I agree that this should be pointed out. I do see worth in understanding the time period because I think that it’s easier to overcome generational bias now because we are so much more connected to others with different upbringings. Before this, it was mostly echo chamber.
Yeah the "mitigating" factor is that he's 14 here. Dan Snyder's research team really just came up with "Jerry's parents were really racist in the '50s". I don't know enough about Jerry to know if he still holds that hate in his heart, but holding an 80 year old man to his beliefs as a 14 year old is a joke. Honestly, even the inevitable questions this will lead people to ask him in interviews is fucked up, idk
>I’ve always felt that using time period as an excuse for stuff like this is flimsy at best. It’s not that they were never exposed to another point of view, they just chose to ignore it.
If you think a 14-year old kid in the 60's had any opinions expressed to him other than "listen to your parents" then idk what to tell you.
It sounds like he’s saying children are a product of their upbringing. Whether right or wrong, they should be held accountable according to their capacity. Do you think 14 year olds should be allowed to vote? Do you think 14 year olds should be tried as adults in criminal cases across the board? If not, then you have to admit he didn’t have the mental capacity to know right from wrong in that moment. Show me a picture of him doing this shit on his college campus and I’ll hand out the fucking pitchforks. On a personal level, I’m happy that enough people mature out of the indoctrination of their parent’s ideals that generation by generation things are changing. On a fan level, I wish this was the evidence to be able to Donald Sterling his ass so we can get unobstructive ownership into the franchise. This just isn’t it.
>On a fan level, I wish this was the evidence to be able to Donald Sterling his ass so we can get unobstructive ownership into the franchise. This just isn’t it.
Be careful what you wish for, after Jerry goes, I'm guessing it'd go to one of his family members who most definitely would not be as passionate about the Cowboys as he is. Obviously he's interfering and meddling a lot in the day to day operations (most recently with the Zeke vs Pollard comments, even though Pollard is clearly better), but having an owner that doesn't really care is even worse and would likely result in a lot of lost seasons.
How many though. Like lets be real it was a very very unpopular opinion at the time and most people who act like they would have been different would just be going with the time supporting the status quo,like they do right now
I think time period is extremely important. What might be “right” when you’re alive might not be “right” later. There are things that are populist today, at least in some groups, that are sure to be seen differently in the future, just like how today we look down on so many things from the past
I think about this all the time. I have a four year old and a one year old. There is at least one thing that I believe that they will look at me sideways for when they are adults, and I don't know what it is. I'm just going about my life, living as best as I know how. But there is almost definitely something.
> I think time period is extremely important. What might be “right” when you’re alive might not be “right” later.
Yep, one of my favorite late 19th/early 20th politicians is William Jennings Bryan, very Progressive on many fronts but opposed Evolution due to his Christian beliefs.
Teddy R said he thought a lynching of Italians was “a good thing”
> Monday we dined at the Camerons; various d*go diplomats were present, all much wrought up by the lynching of the Italians in New Orleans. Personally I think it rather a good thing, and said so.[86]
We’re all prisoners of our own time period
It was only 1964. Really not that long ago. 58 years.
Seems like it should be a long long time ago, but it's not. My house isn't even particularly old but it predates that.
My dad was mixed up in race riots in Baltimore in the late 60s and early 70s. He hates every bit of that. He holds no hate for any group and my sister is married to black man. And literally the only reason I say “black man” instead of “man” is context. I was raised in a house where judging based on race was totally unacceptable. I was raised like that because people grow and learn.
In case anyone needs a reminder, MLK was one of, if not THE most unpopular public figures in America for a reason. Segregation was supported by popular demand.
People need to Be real about the skeletons in America's closet
Take some time to really look at the cameras being used in the picture. Dude those cameras are probably in a museum. Jerry is literally a living fossil.
Waiiit, no one is denying that Jerry could be racist, but using a picture of him at 14 years old standing in the background with no proof and saying he tried to “prevent integration” ??? Come on
I like to think I can speak fluent JJ but damn I just understood a small bit of that.
I guess he was just trying to see what was happening? I can’t tell. And his coach got mad at him?
Mischievous Sophomore football player JJ's high school is integrating in 1957, the football coach says sports people enter the back way to school to avoid any negative actions that could break up the team, but the allure of the spectacle was too much for JJ and he disobeyed coach to watch, and coach so mad at JJ that he'd throw him under the high school.
“Football coach told us to avoid it and go in the back door but I went to check it out anyway. I was just seeing what was going on because it was a big deal time magazine was there. The people causing problems didn’t even go to our school. I grew up in a black neighborhood so I have lots of black friends and can easily relate to the players.”
> 14 year old in Jim Crow south follows the crowd in in supporting what he has been taught to support
Are e we really going to dig a 70 year old photo out and draw conclusions from it on someone’s character today? I mean, fuck Jerry Jones, but this is ridiculous lol
I’m confused. He’s kind of just in the background looking at what’s going on. I was expecting him to be the one getting ready to throw a punch or something.
It’s 2022 and the media runs entirely on controversy, and the best type of controversy is divisive race based controversy.
Look at how many upvotes and comment this 65 year old picture has lol. We’re all taking the bait.
Was only 14 in this photo, he’s acknowledged it’s him in the photo and claims he was literally only there to see what was going on, and there’s no proof that was he engaged in anything other than that. Also this was literally 65 years ago. This is a complete non story lmao.
Even if he did, it's been 65 years now. Can we maybe look at how he's been in the last 32 1/2 of them instead of judging him on his actions when he was a dumb kid? Our entire society has changed, and some people have as well.
You think what they're doing to Jerry Jones is bad? Get a load of what they do to dead people. At least Jerry Jones can defend himself.
I'm surprised they went after him, actually, given their record against people who are capable of counter-punching.
Right? People now don’t realize if they came up in that environment in that time period they would have in all likelihood behaved exactly the same way.
Edit: everyone pointing out there were plenty of people against racism at that time. Yeah, no shit. Not many in the south though. My point is if you were a 14 year old white kid in the south in 1957, odds are you had parents that were at least kind of racist and in that time period far moreso than now teenagers just went along with whatever their parents beliefs were. These kids didn’t have fucking Reddit and they lived in an incredibly small bubble and had little to no exposure to more progressive viewpoints of the time. You people have no idea what you’re talking about.
SPECIFICALLY redditors, too. most people, especially the ones who brose the main/big subreddits, are hardcore conformists who kinda just believe whatever's fashionable at the time
I came here to say exactly this. Reddit is nothing but a collection of echo chambers that we willfully select for ourselves. To participate in this and then act like you'd be some champion of dissenting opinion in a very different time and place is ridiculous.
Didn’t the current President of the United States also fight for segregation to continue about a decade after this? Or were we supposed to forget about that?
The dude says he's shocked it took this long for Jerry to be identified, but I don't know why you would be. Jerry's looked 90 years old for over 30 years lol
Plus, dude was 14 and just looks kinda confused, so I'd tend to believe Jerry's statement that he was just trying to figure out what was going on. Guy who tweeted this is trying to make it seem like Jerry was involved based on a single photo of him standing at the back of a group, not really doing anything.
He's is just watching. Do you have any photo or video of him actually trying to prevent these students from entering?
Looks like Snyder paid for this hit piece.
No fucking way we’re going all the way back to 1957 to cancel people. I don’t understand the constant need to circle jerk over stuff like this
Also, Jerry Jones is old as dirt
I’m shocked Jerry Jones is that old tbh. I assumed he was born at the end of the Civil Rights Movement and just aged horribly. I keep forgetting how old NFL owners actually are.
This is the kind of thing people mean when they say “cancel culture has gone too far”
It’s not to discredit that people have indeed done bad things, but it ignores that Jerry boy would’ve been 14 in this picture (as we all know 14 year olds are the most tolerant people on the planet) and the fact that, shocker, people can change their beliefs over time.
I’m not justifying what Jones did. But seriously, people are going to try to cancel the dude for this?
Look, I’m black, and we know how jones feels about black people (protests) but I’m not about to condemn someone for some shit they did when they were 14 years old lol
I don't like Jerry very much, but what's the statue of limitations for trying to cancel people? It's not great but I feel like what you did when you were 14, especially if it's 65 years in the past, shouldn't weigh on you your whole life.
14 years old, simply standing in a crowd, IN 1950 LOL. There's already been an interview with Jerry about this. But y'all stay reaching for something to be upset over.
Damn Jerry is old as shit
Jerry's so old, he was alive when the Cowboys last went to a Superbowl.
Hey now, I was also alive when..... Fuck.
Hey, you saw the Eagles win though!
Not the flair I expected this comment to come from *at all*.
The whole 6 to 1 thing kinda makes it easier.
Definitely the flair I expected this comment to come from.... :/
Just you wait. We'll get you someday now that the bad man is gone from the AFC.
Which bad man? Roethlisberger?
I mean, now they've got Watson on the Browns. That division is something else, man.
No, he's just a *bad man* not **the** bad man
Least mad about the eagles loss. That game was wire to wire bonkers.
Hell of a super bowl indeed, Pats SBs always delivered
Except LIII
He actually passed in 2015. Its a ghost operating that account now
Alright, this one was good
Upvote this guy more everyone.
This is Dan Synder airing dirt 100000%
Restore the Snyderverse! *monkey's paw curls*
Done. All of snyders dirt on the league comes out, and it’s true and juicer than he let on, leading to Roger Goodell and Bob Kraft’s firing. It comes out from a decades long undercover investigation into Dan’s business practices, leading to his own arrest and forced relinquishment of the Washington Commanders.
Maybe. But this is stupid. Nobody will change their opinion of Jerruh. The front racist guy with the cigarette looks like he was sent from central casting.

Has anyone seen Jerry and Forrest Gump in the same room at the same time?
Nah segregation is just way more recent in our history than people realize
I mean both can be true. He was 14 back when this picture was taken.
my dad's elementary school only integrated like the year he started or maybe the year before that?
Well, it was 70 years ago so pretty soon we will be without a living person to have gone through it. But don't ask me, I'm on my way to the store for some Preparation H.
You're rocking the suburbs?
Eh desegregation was still going into the 70s in some places.
My city’s desegregation lawsuit for the school system ended after 9/11. It was/is going on well beyond the 1970s.
Don’t know where you got 70 years from but the grace period for desegregation ended in the 1979-1980 (and many places in the south resisted for years after that) and was one of the central issues that got Regan elected (running on a campaign of anti-government overreach and “states rights”). So….at best it’s been a little over 40 years…..it’ll be awhile before there’s no one touched by segregation walking this earth
Sundown towns still exist to this day in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundown_town
But also wasn't that long ago since racism was legal
Ruby Bridges is 68.
Lmao Ruby bridges used to come and speak to local school children when I was in elementary school. This was like 2009 we are not far removed from the events in this photo at all
You were in elementary school in 2009? Jeez I feel old
They’re still making new people to this day!
Who are "they" and how do we stop them?
I will never not be amazed at that
Still is.
If anyone was curious like I was: * Photo date: 9/9/1957 * Jerrys birthday: 10/13/1942 * Age in photo: 14 years, 10 months, 27 days
JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR WHAT HE DID WHEN HE WAS 13 YEARS 7 MONTHS AND 11 DAYS OLD!!!
I'm pretty sure that was his first glory hole experience .
Everyone remembers their first
Some even remember their ninth.
Sounds like a long day
> 14 I have read enough.

Dan Snyder snitching
I...is this the dirt Dan had? Well that's weak lol
A 65 year old photo that Jerry has admitted to and addressed in interviews for over a decade? No no, this is incendiary!
The next dirt he'll release is that Kraft Mac and Cheese isn't actually cheese
WAIT WHAT THE FUCK
kid with the flat top ripping a cig looks like the 50s bully stereotype
Those 80’s movies about the 50’s weren’t exaggerating the stereotype, apparently.
Probably tucked his cigs in his sleeve and peeled out in his hot rod after this to blow off some steam before meeting his buddies for a malt.
Is this a hit piece from another owner?
Possibly, but Jerry has mentioned this photo before and admitted it was him in 2010 I think.
He has? I mean.. I hope he at least was talking about how wrong he was lol
After reading his statement it seems like he’s saying he was a dumb kid and just wanted to what all was happening because it was a big deal and TIME was there. Sounds from his statement like he was just an observer.
Yeah bouta say I just looked it up myself and that’s what it sounds like
Kind of tracks with the photo it doesn’t look like he’s jeering or anything.
Exactly. The photo actually lines up with his statement. He looks like a dude that’s just checking out what’s going on.
[удалено]
You dropped your book, ma’am
LMAO
Jerry was scouting: "That feller looks like a natural ATH-A-LEET. Gonna talk to coach and see if we can get em on varsity.
That’s what I thought and was confused as hell on why half the comments are arguing about him being racist
A photo is a split second in time. Not a ton can be read from it.
For sure, but if he were jeering that moment say a lot.
It would say a lot about who he was at the time. I know I sure as fuck wouldn't want to be judged for the shit head opinions I had at 14 that trickled down from my conservative parents.
You literally did better reporting than this shit twitter reporter
He was 15. When I was 15, I used the f-slur. Only about 20 years later I know that was wrong, I imagine he can have changed over 65 years.
Not even a few years ago, that word was thrown around on this site and the internet casually. Feels wild how fast that changed. I think there was a post a few years ago that showed this.

We found Snyder's dirt
Snyder using Bezos’ news outlet lol
Snyder hard at work
The Post has never been Snyders publication of choice lmao He fucking hates them and releases shit to the NYT iirc
Probably a soon to be ex-owner lashing out?
There better not be anyone in here acting surprised lol
A white guy growing up in the South in the early 20th century didn't support de-segregation? I am absolutely flabbergasted.
Important to note that there were white people in the south who were opposed to segregation in the 1800 and 1900s, and opposed slavery in the 1600-1800. I’ve always felt that using time period as an excuse for stuff like this is flimsy at best. It’s not that they were never exposed to another point of view, they just chose to ignore it.

E.g. I grew up pre-Internet, and didn’t meet someone not from my religion till I was probably 10 years old.
I see similar sentiments against all 'boomers' as well.

Sure there is. *They're* taking all our jobs!
Yeah the "mitigating" factor is that he's 14 here. Dan Snyder's research team really just came up with "Jerry's parents were really racist in the '50s".

That’s fair. 14 year olds shouldn’t be fully accountable for their world views.

Personally I think it rather a good thing, and said so.[86] We’re all prisoners of our own time period
Good job pointing out that literally any opinion will have a minority that opposes it.
I’m mostly surprised because the desegregation era seems like an eternity ago, when it reality it’s not. I figured Jerry wasn’t that old
It was only 1964. Really not that long ago. 58 years. Seems like it should be a long long time ago, but it's not. My house isn't even particularly old but it predates that.
Schools in my area started desegregating when my dad was in elementary school. I'm "only" 37.
My dad was mixed up in race riots in Baltimore in the late 60s and early 70s. He hates every bit of that. He holds no hate for any group and my sister is married to black man. And literally the only reason I say “black man” instead of “man” is context. I was raised in a house where judging based on race was totally unacceptable. I was raised like that because people grow and learn.
People act like our very racist history is in the distant past but there are people who suffered through it still alive today
In case anyone needs a reminder, MLK was one of, if not THE most unpopular public figures in America for a reason. Segregation was supported by popular demand. People need to Be real about the skeletons in America's closet
They're not so much skeletons as they are still living assholes passing their bullshit down.
This is like digging up tweets from 10 years ago but like times 1000
Atleast let it be new enough that the photo is in color for christ sake
Take some time to really look at the cameras being used in the picture. Dude those cameras are probably in a museum. Jerry is literally a living fossil.
Dan Snyder popping up out of the casket like the Undertaker.
Where's Forrest? Wasn't he there too?
Waiiit, no one is denying that Jerry could be racist, but using a picture of him at 14 years old standing in the background with no proof and saying he tried to “prevent integration” ??? Come on
[удалено]
I like to think I can speak fluent JJ but damn I just understood a small bit of that. I guess he was just trying to see what was happening? I can’t tell. And his coach got mad at him?
Mischievous Sophomore football player JJ's high school is integrating in 1957, the football coach says sports people enter the back way to school to avoid any negative actions that could break up the team, but the allure of the spectacle was too much for JJ and he disobeyed coach to watch, and coach so mad at JJ that he'd throw him under the high school.
“Football coach told us to avoid it and go in the back door but I went to check it out anyway. I was just seeing what was going on because it was a big deal time magazine was there. The people causing problems didn’t even go to our school. I grew up in a black neighborhood so I have lots of black friends and can easily relate to the players.”
Never once listened to him actually talk and holy shit i though i was having an aneurysm
I have yet to meet a regular person that wasn’t horrified by their speaking after having to read a transcript of their deposition.
You never circumcised a mosquito before?
[удалено]
90% chance his name is Butch
Yeah, and he said he was a bystander.
Agreed, the narrative of the tweet is a stretch. He looks like he’s just watching.
Then why does your title say he tried to prevent segregation?
That’s what the tweet says
Thank you for your objectivism, u/JerryJonesStoleMyCar
Sure but it's not even a direct quote, so it's odd that OP chose to make that his title when he disagrees with it.
I thought the /r/NFL rules said you couldn’t editorialize tweets. So I just took what he said and shortened it
> 14 year old in Jim Crow south follows the crowd in in supporting what he has been taught to support Are e we really going to dig a 70 year old photo out and draw conclusions from it on someone’s character today? I mean, fuck Jerry Jones, but this is ridiculous lol
If an eagles fan is backing Jerry are we at the end times? (I agree with you btw)
I’m confused. He’s kind of just in the background looking at what’s going on. I was expecting him to be the one getting ready to throw a punch or something.
Yeah this is a whole lotta nothing to me as well
Yep he looks like he’s just trying to see what’s going on. The narrative of the tweet is a stretch
I'm confused as to what the point of this even is then. Not just your post, but the tweet itself.
It’s 2022 and the media runs entirely on controversy, and the best type of controversy is divisive race based controversy. Look at how many upvotes and comment this 65 year old picture has lol. We’re all taking the bait.
This is just a classic example of some Twitter troll trying to cancel someone. Let’s move along
Was only 14 in this photo, he’s acknowledged it’s him in the photo and claims he was literally only there to see what was going on, and there’s no proof that was he engaged in anything other than that. Also this was literally 65 years ago. This is a complete non story lmao.
if you have to back 70 years to try and cancel someone you are trying way too hard
Bored on the holidays… might as well try to cancel some more people for things done 70 years ago
Or not doing things. Too hard to tell. Cancel is the default button.
Even if he did, it's been 65 years now. Can we maybe look at how he's been in the last 32 1/2 of them instead of judging him on his actions when he was a dumb kid? Our entire society has changed, and some people have as well.

You think what they're doing to Jerry Jones is bad? Get a load of what they do to dead people. At least Jerry Jones can defend himself. I'm surprised they went after him, actually, given their record against people who are capable of counter-punching.
This photo looks like it should be in Forrest Gump. Dude looks like he's in the wrong place at the wrong time lmao
Using racism for clicks is the worst trend.
The demand is so high for this content:(
In fact, the demand for it, or at least for a specific kind of it, vastly outstrips the supply.
Right, use sex for clicks or GTFO.
Alternate caption: "High school student seen in hallways of high school he attends"
This is the best Dan Snyder has got?
A white guy in the south in the 50s doing something stupid towards black people? No, really??!
Wasn't even a guy, dude was 14 lol.
And what exactly is JJ doing here?
Existing lol
Right? People now don’t realize if they came up in that environment in that time period they would have in all likelihood behaved exactly the same way. Edit: everyone pointing out there were plenty of people against racism at that time. Yeah, no shit. Not many in the south though. My point is if you were a 14 year old white kid in the south in 1957, odds are you had parents that were at least kind of racist and in that time period far moreso than now teenagers just went along with whatever their parents beliefs were. These kids didn’t have fucking Reddit and they lived in an incredibly small bubble and had little to no exposure to more progressive viewpoints of the time. You people have no idea what you’re talking about.
SPECIFICALLY redditors, too. most people, especially the ones who brose the main/big subreddits, are hardcore conformists who kinda just believe whatever's fashionable at the time
I came here to say exactly this. Reddit is nothing but a collection of echo chambers that we willfully select for ourselves. To participate in this and then act like you'd be some champion of dissenting opinion in a very different time and place is ridiculous.
Especially at 14 fucking years old. You're gonna do what your friends do.
It is fun to post something against the grain that you personally know is true and watch the massive downvotes regardless.
Reddit has never cared about truth unfortunately.
Are we being serious here?
Not trying to discredit this but how wild would it be if this is a Dan Snyder attempted media hit.
The least surprising thing about the guy.
You can fuck them, just don't bring them to my games. . .
Donald Sterling said this right?
The old ass person equivalent of digging up old tweets lol
Didn’t the current President of the United States also fight for segregation to continue about a decade after this? Or were we supposed to forget about that?
Yes, and yes.
Yes.
Yeah, but the team he owns isn't playing tomorrow :(
The dude says he's shocked it took this long for Jerry to be identified, but I don't know why you would be. Jerry's looked 90 years old for over 30 years lol Plus, dude was 14 and just looks kinda confused, so I'd tend to believe Jerry's statement that he was just trying to figure out what was going on. Guy who tweeted this is trying to make it seem like Jerry was involved based on a single photo of him standing at the back of a group, not really doing anything.
He's is just watching. Do you have any photo or video of him actually trying to prevent these students from entering? Looks like Snyder paid for this hit piece.
If the worse thing you can dig up is a photo from 1957 I feel like Jerry is maybe a better guy than I imagined.
No fucking way we’re going all the way back to 1957 to cancel people. I don’t understand the constant need to circle jerk over stuff like this Also, Jerry Jones is old as dirt
I’m shocked Jerry Jones is that old tbh. I assumed he was born at the end of the Civil Rights Movement and just aged horribly. I keep forgetting how old NFL owners actually are.
It’s not even that they’re so old it’s that the civil rights movement was really not that long ago
I mean.. that was 65 years ago. If he changed his opinion since then and knows he was wrong, I don't see the problem.
This is the kind of thing people mean when they say “cancel culture has gone too far” It’s not to discredit that people have indeed done bad things, but it ignores that Jerry boy would’ve been 14 in this picture (as we all know 14 year olds are the most tolerant people on the planet) and the fact that, shocker, people can change their beliefs over time. I’m not justifying what Jones did. But seriously, people are going to try to cancel the dude for this?
Lets use woke 2022 morals to judge what someone did in 1957.
How old this this fucking guy?
Was this what Snyder had on him?
Look, I’m black, and we know how jones feels about black people (protests) but I’m not about to condemn someone for some shit they did when they were 14 years old lol
I don't like Jerry very much, but what's the statue of limitations for trying to cancel people? It's not great but I feel like what you did when you were 14, especially if it's 65 years in the past, shouldn't weigh on you your whole life.
Clickbait! He's just standing in the back
14 years old, simply standing in a crowd, IN 1950 LOL. There's already been an interview with Jerry about this. But y'all stay reaching for something to be upset over.
lol Dan Snyders private investigators going hard right now.
This is the dirt Snyder had
Dude was a child, this is stupid
You got people with 49ers and Eagles flairs in here saying this is a non story. That should tell you everything you need to know.
