Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones doesn’t seem fazed by a recent ESPN.com story about the controversial tours at the team’s practice facility. In fact, Jones relished the publicity.
ESPN’s Kalyn Kahler recently reported about the tours at the Cowboys practice facility while players and coaches are going about their day. Some former players told Kahler that the tours have become a distraction as people will peer through see-through glass windows during meetings or while players are trying to work out. Some would even bang on the glass to try to get players’ attention.
“You’re on your way to eat lunch and you’re running into tours,” former Cowboys safety Jayron Kearse said in the story. “You’re on your way to meetings, you’re running into tours. We’re here for football, it’s our job to come in and be able to focus whether we’re in the weight room, or our coach is teaching us something in the meeting room, where you have 30 to 35 people walking by, looking through the glass while you’re in meetings.”
