Jerry Jones is not happy this week as he spoke on the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform investigation claiming to confirm the alleged “toxic workplace” overseen by Dan Snyder and the Washington Commanders.
The Dallas Cowboys owner believes the report is “politically biased.”
“First of all, I hope our fans see how politically biased this report is,” Jones said during his weekly appearance on 105.3 The Fan. “This report doesn’t even come out if the Republicans were in Congress.”
Said Jones: It’s that stupid. And, so, my point is there’s biasness all the way through. There are stories behind the stories. The facts are that Mr. Snyder’s minority partners really went out a long way to try and make him sell. He ended up buying them out, but a lot of this is that. A lot of the testimony, I was involved firsthand. I was among the handful of owners that looked at all of the transcripts, that looked at all of the messages, that looked at all of the data.
“This attorney is on a campaign, the woman attorney, to stop having settlements when you have workplace settlements. That’s another issue, but that’s a part of why this has the front that it has. And, so, there’s a lot more there. I will say this: I’m proud of what the Cowboys have done. We have an excellent [ER] department, excellent. They have been for years. We have committees of employees — I’m not on it, my family’s not on it — and we have thoroughly been involved in a long time trying to improve our workplace. Do we have room for improvement all over? Of course we do. Everybody does. I’m proud of where we are.”

U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reform released a 79-page report that said Snyder “permitted and participated” in the team’s longtime toxic workplace culture and obstructed the congressional investigation into the issues.
“We saw efforts [to obstruct] that we have never seen before, at least I haven’t,” New York Democrat Rep. Carolyn Maloney said. “The NFL knew about it, and they took no responsibility.”
In the meantime, the Cowboys (9-3) are coming off a season-high 220 yards rushing going into Sunday’s meeting with the Houston Texans, who have the NFL’s worst record.
