Cowboys owner Jerry Jones responds to Jon Gruden’s resignation, leaked email comments

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday morning that the leaked email remarks and subsequent resignation of Jon Gruden remind him “we are all accountable.”

Gruden resigned Monday night as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in the wake of reports revealing racist, misogynistic and homophobic language in emails. Gruden was in the fourth year of a 10-year, $100 million contract with the Raiders.

Jones discussed the news during his regularly scheduled radio appearance on Dallas radio station 105.3 The Fan.

“I know these people. I know everybody you’ve been reading about,” Jones said. “They’re outstanding proponents of our game, they have represented this game in many cases beautifully. Certainly we all continue to recognize what a spotlight you’re in and the way we should express ourselves.”
