Recently, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made headlines after a viral interaction with Jamie Foxx, leading to a flurry of amusing memes. The incident occurred during an Instagram Live session on September 21, where Jones was overheard making inappropriate comments about his players’ physical attributes.
During their conversation, Jones and Foxx discussed player dimensions, touching upon running and jumping statistics. The banter escalated when Jones revealed that one of his players has an “eight and a half… d*ck.”
Jamie Foxx quickly halted the live stream upon hearing the comment, but it was too late – the clip went viral almost immediately. Social media users flocked to X to share their reactions, with some referencing Foxx’s film Django Unchained, which revolves around the topics of plantation workers and slavery.
Many tweeters likened Jones’s remarks to the perspective of a plantation owner surveying his “property,”especially considering the Dallas Cowboys’ team composition. “Ironic that Jerry was saying that right in front of Django,”wrote one user.
“Plantation talk. This the part some players tried telling us about,” another chimed in.
“On some plantation/slave owner sh*t. Ain’t no f*cking way,” commented another user.
“Is it not apparent that these people never ended slavery, yet simply found new ways to profit off melanin labor?” asked one netizen.
“Those owners look at Black men as meat, or objects… I still feel as if the NFL is a plantation,” asserted another user.
Conversely, some users focused on the video itself.
“These ni*gas be freaky,” commented one.
“Jamie Foxx’s face is sending me. Why is he so calm? !?!” another user questioned.
“Now, whyyyyyy does he know thaaaat?!” asked one more, sarcastically.
