NFL fans are destroying Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for another ridiculous decision that came under fire during Sunday’s blowout loss at the hands of the Detroit Lions inside AT&T Stadium
The Cowboys suffered one of the worst losses in franchise history in Week 6, falling 47-9 in a contest that was essentially over at halftime. Let’s just say it wasn’t the best birthday gift for Jerry Jones, who turned 82 on Sunday.
One ongoing issue with the structure of AT&T Stadium resurfaced in yesterday’s showdown. That is, Jones’ refusal to put up the curtains to block out the blaring sun that shines through the windows and right onto the field:
Literally everyone: Jerry, the sun is a real problem during games
Jerry Jones: *does nothing to change it despite having complete authority and control and power to do so*

Social media wasted no time ripping on Jerry Jones for his refusal to take care of the occasional sunlight problem:
There’s something funny and irony about Jerry Jones not wanting to install curtains to block the sunset beams from blinding his own offense and causing Dak and his receivers major issues.
This might be the dumbest sports franchise of all time.

Everyone: "Can you put some anti-glare tint or curtains on the end zone windows?"

During a 2022 appearance on 105.3 “The Fan”, Jones gave a bizarre explanation as to why he refuses to put curtains up on the stadium to block out the sun:
“Conditions and elements have been a part of football since it was spelled the first time. No. That’s about 10,000 on my list of things to worry about. And, no, we’re not going to do anything with it.”
Well, there you have it Cowboys fans. Jerry Jones hardly does anything reasonable to make his football team better or his fans happy. So if the sunlight gets into the eyes of his players and throws them off, so be it.
The 3-3 Cowboys are heading into their Week 7 bye. They’ll return to the field on Oct. 27 for a showdown against the rival San Francisco 49ers on “Sunday Night Football” at Levi’s Stadium
Jerry Jones Keeps Doing It His Way, Which Is The Wrong Way
Jerry Jones’ refusal to relinquish his GM duties and to change anything about his operation is all you need to know about the Cowboys’ constant mediocrity.
While top owners like Clark Hunt (Kansas City Chiefs), Robert Kraft (New England Patriots) and Steve Bisciotti (Baltimore Ravens) are hands-off and let their executives and coaches handle the football decisions accordingly, Jones makes it all about him.
After all, how many other coaches fired a Hall of Fame head coach soon after they won a Super Bowl again?
