Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys take on San Antonio said "It's not a big market. It's a market that already has allegiances to two other NFL teams (the Cowboys and Houston Texans). And it's a city with a huge Hispanic population that likes soccer better than American football.
"There's no way that 24 teams in the National Football League are going to vote for any team to move to San Antonio. It's just not a market worth going to."
Now it's sad how san antonio fans still root for the cowboys when jerry jones is saying garbage like this. people that support the cowboys are traitors to san antonio.

Yep, soccer lovin' San Antone.
I don't disagree that Jones is an ass, but I see it as Cowboy fans simply loving their team because they grew up loving and watching the team, but they didn't exactly have to love the owner....Now it's sad how san antonio fans still root for the cowboys when jerry jones is saying garbage like this. people that support the cowboys are traitors to san antonio.
god knows I wish Woody Johnson would just drop dead or sell the Jets to someone that would actually like and want to win..he's a terrible owner and not an improvement over Leon Hess....Jones is an asshat of an owner, certainly not a fine gentleman that Texx Shramm used to be
but alot of the Cowboys fans here grew up with the Dallas Cowboys and love the team, because there wasn't anything else but probably don't necessarily like Jones at all.
What do you expect Jerry to say? He makes about 5-6 million a year in Cowboys gear revenue from South Texas.
The message is pretty clear. To Jerry, we're all just a bunch of soccer lovin mexicans down here in San Antonio.
Interesting public comment from Jones. Sounds defeatist more than anything else. Perhaps a very good sign for SA.
Uuummm...in the article that is linked JJ doesnt say any of that and actually says he has no problem with a team in SA

Yeah, it looks like this is Roberts saying this not Jones. Either way those are fighting words. Hey, I understand Cowboy fans' point of view in that they grew up watching them so it's hard to give it up. But like a couple of people said it's only because San Antonio doesn't have an NFL team. But if SA has it's own team then 'em. Jones even if he didn't say that. He will NOT have control over this city.
You idiots.
That quote was not by Jerry Jones.
Go ahead and start deleting all of those posts you made in the other threads now."I would be very shocked if the Saints permanently relocated to San Antonio," said Gary Roberts, the director of the sports law program at Tulane. "San Antonio, for all kinds of reasons, is not a good place for relocation.
"It's not a big market. It's a market that already has allegiances to two other NFL teams (the Cowboys and Houston Texans). And it's a city with a huge Hispanic population that likes soccer better than American football.
"There's no way that 24 teams in the National Football League are going to vote for any team to move to San Antonio. It's just not a market worth going to."
I was gonna say. .Jerry Jones get's a lot of his coke and botox money from us.. he would not say that.
What Jerry feels:
Jerry Jones, making a public appearance in New York, said he would not oppose having an NFL team in San Antonio
What some dumbass tool from Tulane said:
"It's not a big market. It's a market that already has allegiances to two other NFL teams (the Cowboys and Houston Texans). And it's a city with a huge Hispanic population that likes soccer better than American football.
i don't know anyone here that prefers soccer to the NFL, what an idiot...Iam tired of jerks telling us in SA what we like and don't like.....Is there even a soccer team near by??? LOL....
Soccer? JJ must think we're all illegals down here.
Yea, I don't care who said it. The person is ignorant. Soccer? Forget our high school football fever on the weekends, forget our tv football ratings, our NBA Championship Spurs, Misions baseball, our Alamobowl. We're soccer lovin mexicans.
He's obviously an idiot for saying that, whomever it was. No care in the world to make a statement like that without researching or really knowing anything about SA.
Soccer?????????????
Mayor Garza, is that you?
arriba arriba frijoles
"Soccer?????????????
Mayor Garza, is that you?".....................................And thats exactly where that came from. Garza and his soccer lovin ass!
Yep, even us French/Cajuns. I had to turn off the soccer game just now so I could pay attention to the threads.
First of all, I would like to clarify my position that the Saints should return to New Orleans if at all possible.
Now...
Now, I'm saying this as a non-resident of San Antonio, who gets annoyed at some of its vestigial small-town, woe-is-me thinking.
But seriously. In consecutive sentences, he says that San Antonio both already follows 2 NFL teams yet doesn't really the follow the NFL because Mexicans like soccer better. Not only is that self-contradictory, but he's malevolently parroting a racial stereotype of Hispanics, which makes him a bigot.
What you have here is somebody abusing the "prestige" of his position in academia (however much prestige "sports law" has) to make an emotional outburst because he's mad about this whole Saints situation. In other words, this guy is a hack.
And I think most folks understand that San Antonio is not a big market. Bigger than New Orleans? Yes. Growing? Yes. Undesirable? Well, if it is, then that guy just undercut the whole argument behind keeping the Saints in New Orleans, because San Antonio is a larger, wealthier market than New Orleans with a much stronger corporate presence.
Now, while I understand that New Orleans is a decadent, second-rate city, it doesn't help its cause when its "leaders" and "experts" continually reinforce that fact in people's minds with their every utterance. Either they need to shut up and let Tagliabue handle it, or get some remedial "How Not To Sound Like a Doltish Hack" lessons.
How do you say "Keep it down! I'm trying to watch soccer here!" in Spanish?
Shouldn't it be pointed out that New Orleans isn't a suitable market because of its substantial Cajun population that prefers alligator wrestling and mule races to American football?
Foozball
Actually, the football is ok when played in the Dome. They have bars that sell real booze. Ooops, my bad. Used to have bars......
This guy is from Tulane...I would take whatever he says with a grain of salt. Actually I wouldn't beleive a word of what he says now that I think about it. He is a hack for sure.
