Jones was photographed at the age of 14 in the background of a de-segregation protest at North Little Rock High School. There is zero proof he was doing anything other than watching from afar as a curious kid.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-outkick wp-block-embed-outkick\"><\/figure>\n<p>Yet, that didn\u2019t stop LeBron James from subtly pushing the message that there must have been sinister and nefarious motives behind a 65-year-old photo. Now, the Cowboys owner has responded to James\u2019 comments.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>Jones said the following in part on 105.3 The Fan when responding to LeBron, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/jerry-jones-responds-lebron-james-criticism-media-not-asking-him-old-desegregation-protest-photo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to Fox News<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, you have to hear me say how much I think of LeBron. I don\u2019t know of anybody that I respect more. I don\u2019t know of anybody that has taken every opportunity he\u2019s had and maximized it. Not only [has he been] a great ambassador for sport, he has taken sports, he has taken his venues, and used those platforms \u2026 Certainly, he has influence, and just because of all of the above. His accomplishments, how he\u2019s utilized his sport and how he\u2019s utilized his platform. How we have done it. He has enhanced basketball, he\u2019s made a lot of people a lot of money. I hope I have too.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"h-should-jerry-jones-have-gone-harder-at-lebron\">Should Jerry Jones have gone harder at LeBron?<\/h2>\n<p>Clearly, Jerry Jones isn\u2019t interested in getting into a back and forth with the Los Angeles Lakers superstar. He kept his response about as classy as possible, despite the fact LeBron James attempted to flame him for something that happened when Dwight D. Eisenhower was President.<\/p>\n<p>Oftentimes in life, it pays to be the bigger man. That\u2019s what Jones did here, but there\u2019s also something to be said for defending yourself. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1435910753.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-455809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1435910753.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1435910753-300x200-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1435910753-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1435910753-561x374-1.jpg 561w, https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GettyImages-1435910753-265x177.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1435910753-531x354-1.jpg 531w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1435910753-364x243-1.jpg 364w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1435910753-728x486-1.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1435910753-608x406-1.jpg 608w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1435910753-758x506-1.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GettyImages-1435910753-72x48.jpg 72w, https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GettyImages-1435910753-144x96.jpg 144w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1435910753-600x400-1.jpg 600w\" \/><figcaption>Jerry Jones responds to LeBron James. (Photo by Tom Pennington\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Jones would have had every right in the world to torch LeBron. The Lakers star wants to take shots at him, but when it comes to China\u2019s horrific crimes, he can\u2019t ever seem to find the time to criticize the CCP. Remember, LeBron James essentially argued free speech is a problem when former Houston GM Daryl Morey supported pro-freedom protesters in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>So, LeBron James has no problem siding with the communist dictatorship, and he also thinks he has the moral authority to question a photo of Jerry Jones when the Cowboys owner was 14. Think that\u2019s ridiculous? Yeah, most rational people do.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1446398622.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-455810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1446398622.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1446398622-200x300-1.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1446398622-561x841-1.jpg 561w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1446398622-265x397-1.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1446398622-531x796-1.jpg 531w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1446398622-364x546-1.jpg 364w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1446398622-608x912-1.jpg 608w, https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GettyImages-1446398622-32x48.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GettyImages-1446398622-64x96.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GettyImages-1446398622-600x900-1.jpg 600w\" \/><figcaption>LeBron James criticized an old photo of Jerry Jones at a racial dispute in 1957.
