Jerry Jones may be facing a fine from the NFL due to his Halloween costume
I hope the NFL has a sense of humor like Jerry Jones does.
The Dallas Cowboys owner was spotted with an awesome costume during Halloween � he was a blind referee:
«Oh yeah, I had the cane and everything,» Jones told Sports Illustrated on Sunday. «And I used it on some people, too.»
While Jones and other people on social media may have found it funny, the NFL might not find it so amusing.
Indeed, the league sent a memo to coaches, general managers, team presidents, and chiefs executive in October 2019 stating that it prohibits the following types of criticism towards officials (via ProFootballTalk):
«Comments regarding the quality of officiating, individual calls or missed calls, the League's officiating department, an officiating crew, or an individual game official; [a]ccusing game officials of acting with bias or in any way questioning the integrity of NFL game officials; or [p]osting negative or derogatory/demeaning content pertaining to officiating on social media.»
Jones' costume could certainly fall under the last criteria there...
