“That’s a slap in the face to black people and to black coaches and to black professionalism,” Jones said. “It’s very tone-deaf to us.”
“Especially after I played 12 years in the NFL, dedicated a lot of my life to it,” Jones added. “I know the X’s and O’s just as well as any other white coach or any other coach of any other nationality. And, for you to use that as a bargaining chip, it clearly says where they are.”
“They know what they’re doing, they know what it is,” Jones said. “And hopefully, with all the attention that’s being brought on racism right now and conversations that are being had, maybe this will put a little more pressure on them.”
Thomas Jones reportedly has a net worth of $12 million, so football was pretty good to him.
