The NFL\u2019s most talked about owner Jerry Jones has been trending on social media because of the new report of his recent political donation. While the Dallas Cowboys\u00a0are falling off a cliff, Jones has been making the headlines every week for his embarrassing moves as general manager. Now Fans from both sides of the political spectrum are giving their opinions on Jones\u2019 recent political donation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With Election Day around the corner, Front Office Sports published an in-depth article listing sports team owners who have contributed funds to political campaigns. Among them is Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.<\/span><\/p>\n

Historically, the Jones family has supported Texas Republicans, making this report less than surprising. USA Today previously noted that Jones contributed to Donald Trump\u2019s inaugural committee, and during an NFL owners meeting in 2020, he openly backed the Republican Party, adding a blunt response when asked about his support: \u201cThat\u2019s how the country should be run, but don\u2019t [expletive] with me, all right.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Front Office Sports, Jones recently donated $20,000 to help Texas Sen. Ted Cruz\u2019s re-election campaign. Cruz is facing Democratic Rep. Collin Allred as he fights to retain his Senate seat.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the news broke, NFL fans took to social media to react to Jones\u2019 contribution. Supporters of the Republican Party largely approved, while Democrats voiced their belief that Jones may have just \u201cjinxed\u201d the Cowboys with his donation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some of the best fan reactions to Jones\u2019 political donation:<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, he finally made a good call by supporting Ted,\u201d one person replied to the news. \u201cMaybe he should find a talent that understands football and the talent required to be a success in the NFL.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInteresting timing! Jones supporting Cruz has fans buzzing, especially with the Cowboys\u2019 struggles. Some are calling it a curse,\u201d a second person said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only thing Jones and the Cowboys have done right,\u201d another person wrote on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s gross,\u201d a fourth person commented.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jones will certainly not respond to any of this backlash to his donation, and he has never really done so. Specifically this season, he is locked in on the Cowboys as they are terrible this year. The team has so much to do to sniff making the post-season this year, and those hopes may already be over as both the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders look great. The Cowboys could end the season as the third team in the NFC East and be looking at some major changes to their coaching staff and roster.<\/p>\n

As they sit at 3-4, with a very tough schedule ahead, they are likely going to miss the post-season and have to look for another head coach to run the show.<\/p>\n
