Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence is sticking up for his owner Jerry Jones' silence on racial issues. Gerald McCoy has said multiple times that he is disappointed that Jones hasn't said anything after the death of George Floyd, who died while in police custody.

Multiple teams, owners, and players have spoken out about racial inequality but Jones has been oddly silent. Lawrence has heard the chatter but doesn't believe Jones putting out a statement is going to change anything.

Instead, it's about everyone coming together and trying to fix the issues. Lawrence said the only thing that the Cowboys owner could really provide is his money:

“This whole situation has nothing to do with Jerry or anybody in Jerry’s position,” Lawrence said, via Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “This is about us coming together and focusing on how we can make a change and how we can come together and be united. I don’t see how one man in Jerry’s position or any of those types positions can make a change. The only thing they can do is give us money to make a change. What kind of help do we need from Jerry: we need to stand on our own two feet, be the man we are supposed to be and build foundations and build centers to help our youth.”

Lawrence is right about everyone needing to be in this together, but there could be some pushback from others who believe Jones should say more.

Jones usually isn't afraid to be outspoken about anything, and with his past comments about kneeling during the national anthem, some players want to hear a change in heart from the owner.
