Jerry Jones wants to grow minority ownership in NFL

Dallas Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones shares he wants to increase minority stakes at the ownership level in National Football League organizations.

“Nobody got in on a wing and prayer more than me, and I really couldn’t afford it,” the owner shared after Dallas’ 30-10 victory vs. the NY Jets. “But I got it on my plate as we look and see — and we do see — the qualified potential buyers that exist, and that’s 1 way. It’s not the single way.

We can fight with the inequity in different ways—multiple ways to solve this problem. And for me, I think that 1 way is to try to work to improve ownership in the minority area. And I support that, and I do it. That’s my philosophy.”
