“Jerry Jones could give away AR-15s at a home game and get away with it”: Cowboys owner faces harsh criticism for backing Black Rifle Coffee in midst of gun violence protests

"Jerry Jones could give away AR-15s at a home game and get away with it": Cowboys owner faces harsh criticism for backing Black Rifle Coffee in midst of gun violence protests

Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys are facing severe criticism after partnering with Black Rifle Coffee after deadly shootings rocked the nation.

July fourth weekend is usually a time for celebration in the US, but the event was marred by a series of shootings across the country. Most notably, a shooter at Highland Park killed seven people and injured dozens more.

Additionally, two months ago a shooting in Uvalde, Texas took the lives of 19 children and two teachers. Gun violence in the US has skyrocketed over the years. Nothing is being done about it either.

Every shooting creates a deeper hole in the country. Recently, the Cowboys made a very controversial move, and fans don’t exactly seem to be thrilled by the move.

NFL fans are also people at the end of the day, and they care about the social direction their team is going in too. They weren’t too thrilled with Jerry Jones’ latest announcement.

Jerry Jones is under fire from NFL fans for partnering with Black Rifle Coffee

Black Rifle Coffee is a veteran owned brand that sells coffees with names like “AK Espresso,” “Murdered Out” and “Silencer Smooth.”

In the middle of all the gun violence, these aren’t exactly the names you want to push out. However, the Cowboys chose to partner with the team. They made the partnership official with a Tweet.

Fans were appalled by the decision. Cowboys fan Jackie Barrientes explained that she was horrified to see her favorite team “partner with a company that promotes the weapon that killed those children.”

Fans also directly took matters to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Some even called him tone deaf.
