None the less, an element of Jones legacy is that he appears to be part of a racist mob standing in the way of black students attempting to attend school. That's not me, LeBron or anyone else conjuring it up. If you want to sweep it under the rug, blame 'wokeness', call it an effort to 'cancel' or excuse the action that's certainly your prerogative. I'd rather base my perception of anyone under the notion of "warts and all".

I do not hold adults accountable to the things they were talked into doing, while they were young impressionable children.

To be honest I’m shocked how little media attention this is getting. My hunch is it’s a fact none of the rostered Cowboy players want to risk taking on Jerry and without the players themselves taking some sort of stance, it’s hard for the media to

1) he's 14
2) we don't know what he was actually doing

But lets say he was a stupid racist at 14

If he learned and changed from that decades ago then why crucify him for it now?
Id say it's a good thing that he was brainwashed by that that age as a kid but he grew up and realized it was wrong.

He wasnt racist at 60 and then pretended he had some epiphany like so many politicians do on all kinds of issues.

14 year olds can change,60 year olds don't.
We've seen politicians who ran on racist platforms "change" when it can't win them votes anymore. Same as politicians "changing" on gay marriage in their 50,60s and 70s to get votes.

I actually like LeBron as a player but can't stand the diva stuff on the court.
Him wondering why he wasn't asked about Jones when he was asked about Kyrie is utterly rediculous.

For starters Jones owns a team In a different sport.
Kyrie played with LeBron for 4 or 5 years and LeBron has been the face of that sport for almost 2 decades. Kyrie made an idiot of himself and kept doubling down on it all within the last month or so. The Jones picture is when he was 14 taken 65 years ago. The 2 situations aren't remotely analogous.

He's owned the team for over 30 years. Why haven't any former players said he's racist if he's racist? He's not their employer anymore.

He was 14 and a minor. What law did he break as a minor? I remember when I was 14, I took my mom's car without permission and without a D.L. and pick up girls to hangout at the mall and beach. My friends in the summer entered the drive in without paying and We entered Sizzler one time to use the restroom and filled our mugs with soda drinks on our way out without paying and we were giggling laughing running away from the manager. Fun days!

I guess We are all going to hell.

It seems you're the only person that has brought up anything about legality, I suspect it's because this matter has absolutely nothing to do with the law.
