This past Sunday, former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant questioned why owner Jerry Jones was not at a protest in Texas, saying that “this is not a policy change; this is a heart change.” Bryant clarified his remark the next day, saying that Jones “is a compassionate person” and “not a racist.”

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman then singled out Jones, saying that he “has no problem speaking up any other time about anything else.” While the Cowboys released a video on social media decrying racial injustice in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, Jones himself has been silent on the matter.

Bryant once again spoke about Jones on Wednesday, saying that he learned a lot from him but that it may now be time for a role reversal.

“I have love for Mr. Jones. Almost everything I know about business — and of course I'm still learning — I learned from him,” Bryant told Sports Illustrated, via ESPN.com. “But I believe this is a time, right now, where Mr. Jones could learn some things too. To learn about the culture.”

In the past, Jones has publicly opposed NFL players kneeling during the national anthem, saying that he believes it is disrespectful to the American flag. That being said, Jones did kneel with his players during the anthem before a game in 2017.

Bryant spent eight seasons playing for Dallas between 2010 and 2017, making three Pro Bowl appearances and earning a First-Team All-Pro selection.

Largely due to injuries, he has not played in an NFL game since his final season with the Cowboys.
