Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones out here just handing out Super Bowl rings like party favors...
quote:
In a lengthy look at the manner in which Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas entered a circle of wealth and power , the New York Times makes mention of the relationship between Thomas, Jones, and the Cowboys.
As chairman of the EEOC, Thomas appeared in a PSA from the Cowboys regarding equal employment opportunity. Per the report, Thomas then struck up a friendship with Jones.
Thomas, according to the Times, has flown on Jones’s private jet, attended training camp practices, and when the team played in Washington sat in Jones’s private suite. The article also states bluntly and matter-of-factly that Jones gave Thomas a Super Bowl ring.
Thomas also had a friendship with Wayne Huizenga, the late owner of the Dolphins. According to the Times, Thomas in the late 2000s made annual visits to South Florida to assist Huizenga in distributing scholarships. Sometimes, Thomas met with the team. At least once, according to the report, Thomas flew in a Dolphins jet. Also, Thomas was whisked from the Dolphins’ practice field in a helicopter on at least one occasion.
“I love the Dolphins,” Thomas said at one point, according to the Times. “I’m a Dolphins fan. Primarily a Cowboys fan, but a Dolphins fan also.”
