New York Jets Chairman Slams and Vows to Sue Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones for Disrespectful, Offensive Behavior Toward Jets Fans October 6, 2025 A wave of outrage is sweeping across the NFL after a video captured Jerry Jones, president and owner of the Dallas Cowboys, making an obscene gesture toward New York Jets fans during the teams' matchup last Sunday night at MetLife Stadium. The incident occurred in the fourth quarter when the Cowboys were leading 37–22. From the VIP suite, Jerry Jones was recorded smiling, raising his middle finger, and pointing toward the Jets’ stands, where hundreds of fans were booing. The video went viral on social media, sparking fury among the Jets fanbase and drawing widespread criticism from American media for the “disrespectful, offensive, and inappropriate behavior unfit for a top team’s president.” This morning, New York Jets Chairman Woody Johnson spoke out with a sharp tone: “Jerry Jones’ behavior not only insulted our fans but also damaged the NFL’s image. This is not a joke. We will not let this pass without legal consequences. The Jets organization is considering filing a lawsuit against Jerry Jones for public insult and violation of the league’s code of conduct.” Johnson also stated that the Jets have submitted a formal complaint to the NFL, requesting an investigation and appropriate penalties for Jerry Jones. The Jets argue that the incident is not merely a conflict between two teams but “an affront to millions of fans.” Currently, the Dallas Cowboys have remained silent, offering no apology or explanation. However, according to several insider sources, the NFL is closely monitoring the situation and may impose a hefty fine or require Jerry Jones to issue a public apology to protect the league’s image. The storm of criticism is growing increasingly intense, and if the lawsuit proceeds, this could become the most significant legal dispute between two prominent teams in modern NFL history.
