A recently released video shows Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones making a racially charged comment to a fan as it’s revealed he called New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft a ‘p***y’.
The video, which was filmed in 2013 at the Warwick Melrose Hotel in Dallas, Texas, shows Jones standing in front of the cell phone camera after he was stopped by the fan to record a message to congratulate his new fiancée.
Jones looks into the camera before saying, ‘Hey Jenifer, congratulations on the wedding… now, you know he’s with a black girl tonight don’t you?’
There’s a brief pause before Jones starts laughing and then walks away.
Jenifer is white and the man who filmed it decided to share it publicly due to the current controversy of race in the NFL and the country, The Blast reported.
Jones and the NFL have yet to comment on the clip. The release of the controversial video comes as Jones is making an aggressive push to get NFL commissioner Roger Goodell out of the key job and also called Kraft a ‘p***y’, according to a report from ESPN.

Jones allegedly told Goodell, ‘I’m gonna come after you with everything I have,’ ESPN reported.
That statement was in response to Jones being outraged after Goodell suspended running back Ezekiel Elliott for six games after he allegedly violated the personal conduct policy for the NFL.
Jones also referenced Deflatgate, New England Patriots and team owner Robert Kraft.
‘If you think Bob Kraft came after you hard, Bob Kraft is a p***y compared to what I’m going to do,’ Jones said.
The report from ESPN also detailed several issues between Goodell and Jones – including how Goodell’s leadership of the league, who he has hired and media policies.
The 75-year-old also threatened to sue fellow team owners and the NFL to stop negotiations on a contract extension for Goodell.
Back in May, owners voted 32-0 to allow the compensation committee to negotiate a new contract for Goodell.

But Jones is trying to stop that effort in the wake of his star player’s suspension.
On Thursday, other NFL owners informed Jones via letter that he is engaging in ‘conduct detrimental to the league’s best interests,’ the New York Times reported.
The letter was sent to Jones through his attorney, David Boies, on Wednesday, one day after Jones expressed publicly that he had no intention of halting his efforts to prevent Goodell from receiving a contract extension.
The letter accuses Jones of sabotaging the negotiations in the latest round of the escalating feud between Jones and Goodell. Jones is suspected of sharing outdated documents about negotiations with Goodell to other owners.
It was revealed last weekend that Goodell requested a salary of approximately $49.5 million, a private jet and lifetime health insurance of his family last August. Goodell’s contract expires in 2018.
