Jerry Jones and the late George Steinbrenner typify the win at all cost attitudes of sports club owners. Their egos supercede the teams. Al Davis was another one who was a wanna-be coach.
The major difference between Steinbrenner and Jones is that Horrible Hank was secretly a softy. He anonymously donated millions of dollars to help others. Even after his death, most people never realized the countless, selfless acts of charity he performed.
I doubt that we can say the same for Jerry. Everything he does is for his own self-aggrandizement.
The best Jones cartoon since the one right after he bought the team. He was installing bleachers in his office so he could charge fans to watch him own.
The way to handle it is to find other sources of pleasure for the warrior-surrogate crowd. If it wasn’t so profitable, they wouldn’t keep doing it. At least they’ve given up on all that “example for kids” crap. These guys are poster boys for greed and exploitation, that’s all.

Jerry Jones, the gift that keeps giving. He’s managed to turn one of the preeminent sports franchises into a joke.
