Although he was 14 or 15 years old at that time, he still received plenty of backlash for it.

Earlier, renowned sports journalist Stephen A. Smith showed support for Jones. Now, former Cowboys cornerback Pacman Jones also backed the Cowboys’ owner regarding his desegregation picture going viral.

Notably, Pacman played for the Cowboys in the 2008 season; however, Jerry had to let him go, not because of his performances, but for his off-field lifestyle. After getting released by the Cowboys, he found a new home with the Bengals, as he played for around 7 seasons with them.

Stephen A. Smith felt disappointed with the whole Jones controversy

During the First Take show, Stephen A. Smith expressed his opinion about the Jones matter. According to him, he felt really bad for Jones because he was only 14-15 years old and did not probably know anything about it. However, he could have had a different opinion if Jones was an adult in that situation.

Recently, NBA superstar LeBron James also made some comments about Jones’ controversy. However, he had a different take on the controversy, as he blamed the media for handling the Jones’ controversy differently.

Earlier, Jones also talked about the photo and he claimed to have no knowledge about the desegregation protest. Despite all the controversies, the NFL did not act on it, as Jones continues to focus on his team, the Cowboys, who are currently looking to secure a playoff spot.
