A Petition Was Once Filed Asking President Barack Obama to Free the Dallas Cowboys From the ‘Oppressive Dictatorship’ of Jerry Jones

More than just being a game, the National football league happens to be an emotionally connected sport for the fans. Sometimes they act crazy to vent their anguish for the team’s loss and are often seen crossing their limits. One such incident happened in 2012 when the angry cowboys’ fans filed a petition to the then-American President Barack Obama to oust Jerry Jones from the executive post following their Thanksgiving loss to the Washington Redskins. This special request was launched for the first time in history when fans appealed directly to the president.

Regardless, the petition can’t be held seriously because the Cowboys owner didn’t violate any regulations or fudged the taxation rules in the country. According to the Dallas Morning News, per the NFL.com, a resident of Ft. Benning, Ga, has filed a complaint through the White House website to oust Jones from his position.

It was filed under the Human rights category, making it even more fun. It seems the agenda of this fan was to receive national recognition in the name of the American president.

“We, the Citizens of the Great State of Texas, and Dallas Cowboys fans worldwide have been oppressed by an over-controlling, delusional, oppressive dictator for way too long.” the fan wrote. “Request the Executive Branch’s immediate assistance in removal of owner and GM, Jerry Jones. His incompetence and ego have not only been an extreme disappointment for way too long. But moreover, it has caused extreme mental and emotional duress,” he added in his petition.

Per the reports, around 412 citizens have signed the complaint asking Obama to consider the issue seriously. Well, it can be considered a note written out of frustration, but the legacy that Jerry Jones left behind is impeccable.

Jerry Jones changed the face of the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL

The Los Angeles-born businessman has always been a risk taker in his life. He dared to take his chances in 1989 by investing in a money-losing team and brought fortunes to the franchise. He invested a whopping amount of $140 million and secured the ownership of the team.

Rather than pouring money into building the team or hiring star players, he focussed on building the business. He invested billions of dollars in developing the financial ventures of North Texas and attracted other investors across the country to invest in the city. Slowly and steadily, the city of Dallas started evolving on the world map.

Finally, when the city has completely developed, the brand of Cowboys started growing, and today the franchise is one of the richest clubs in the world. All credit goes to Jerry Jones and his master plan to rebrand the team in the National Football League.
