I was thinking when I was on my way over here, I was wondering why I haven't gotten a question from you guys about the Jerry Jones photo.&quot;The photo in question recently came to light and showed Jones watching a racial altercation at North Little Rock High School in 1957. At the time, he was 14 years old. Many students were there protesting the integration of the school. In the photo, Jones is seen in the background, off to the side, observing whatever was happening.What Dak Prescott said about Jerry Jones and the photoDak Prescott spoke at length about the photo when asked about it. The 2016 Offensive Rookie of the Year said the photo was taken long ago and that Jones shouldn't be targeted for it.&quot;Obviously, we can be more empathetic and give grace to one another, regardless of race. From the times we’ve come from to where we are now, thinking about the growth we’ve had. That’s who I am, how I think, optimistic. I mean [as] a guy who is completely biracial, Black and White, it’s easy for me to speak on race on one side or another. … I don't know if I've fully processed it all the way, honestly.&quot;Prescott added:&quot;In the same sense, it’s 65 years ago and how times have changed. I mean, look at the man’s resume since then, right? As I said, I give grace. I think that’s a conversation and question not only for him but for you guys and how you all feel and how accountable you all have been in covering and discussing the disparities and differences in race.&quot;For the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, it seems that he forgives Jerry Jones for being in that photo. However, other fans aren't all that forgiving about it.
