I'm not sure how stupid one person can be, but this would definitely be up there. This might be the dumbest thing a team owner has ever done.

What an idiot.

People are so soft, it’s an expression. What’s more racist? Using that phrase or assuming that “inmates” is exclusively a black thing?

False.
quote:
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Sunday that any of his players who disrespect the flag during the national anthem won't play in games.
"If we are disrespecting the flag then we won't play. Period. We're going to respect the flag, and I'm going to create the perception of it. And we have."

Hyperbole much?

It's a common statement made at a terrible time.
I think it was worse one owner calling Anquan Boldin, "Antwan" repeatedly.

Would it have been better if he said "monkeys running the zoo"?

The league is imploding and Mark predicted this.

It's a metaphor.

I don’t disagree with him, because I’m sick of these fricking protests, BUT, there are some things that are better left unsaid.

Nonetheless, it's a dump expression in this context.
ETA - for the sake of clarity, dumb =/= offensive. It's just a stupid thing to say regardless.

He didn't say asylum, he said prison, which is more unfortunate. However, to spin that into being racist is just that, a spin.

SC6 and Screamin A are licking their chops to hit this story

He apologized immediately after. He's in his 80's. Feel like this kind of outrage is why we're in this boat to begin with.

Bob McNair's a 79 year old dude from North Carolina. This kind of talk is pretty normal a dude like him.

Which is ridiculous. If you're going to say it, own it. Explain yourself, but an apology just empowers the "offended" even more.
