Dallas Cowboys Fans Applaud Denzel Washington For Jerry Jones Rant

Dallas Cowboys Fans Applaud Denzel Washington For Jerry Jones Rant originally appeared on The Spun.

Legendary actor Denzel Washington doesn’t play around when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys.

Washington appeared on ESPN’s “First Take” this Tuesday to promote his upcoming film, “Highest 2 Lowest.” The two-time Academy Award winner also had a discussion about the Cowboys with ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith. His favorite NFL team has received a lot of backlash for the way it has handled contract negotiations with All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons.

The Cowboys haven’t reached the Super Bowl in nearly 30 years. Although he didn’t completely blame Jerry Jones for that drought, Washington dished out some blunt advice for the owner of “America’s Team” while on ESPN.

“He ain’t thinking about us. He’s thinking about his pocket,” Washington said. “There is box office and there is Oscars. Jerry, been a while, huh? Ain’t been to the show, you wouldn’t know. Ain’t been to the show, wouldn’t know. Haven’t been to the show, wouldn’t know what it is to win.”

Dallas Cowboys Fans Applaud Denzel Washington For Jerry Jones Rant — Hollywood star Denzel Washington talks about the Dallas Cowboys on “First Take.”

NFL fans, especially those residing in Dallas, loved this rant from Washington. They think it perfectly captures what’s wrong with the Cowboys.

“Facts,” a Cowboys fan wrote on X. “Please relay to Jerry & Stephen, the fans want Micah signed, stop waiting so long to pay top players, hire a GM, quit kicking the can at RB, and stop talking football in the media, that’s the head coach’s job. As Emmitt Smith said, the business isn’t aligned with football operations.”

“Didn’t know my goat is a Cowboys fan and he called Jerry a clown on live tv. Greatest aura ever,” a second Dallas fan commented.

“Denzel calling out Jerry Jones wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card. And I’m absolutely here for it,” another fan said.

“Denzel still got his fastball. Remarkable talent,” a social media user wrote.

Fans are sure hoping Jones will listen to Washington’s advice about how “all money ain’t good money.”

Jones hasn’t responded to Washington’s remarks yet. If we had to guess, he’s not really offended that he got called out by the “Remember the Titans” star.

After all, Jones enjoys being in the spotlight.
