NFL's best wide receiver, Terrell
Owens, or TO, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles, has officially
joined the Cowboys with a contract of $10 million a year for
the next three years.
I know what everyone is thinking. Half
say that was stupid because the Cowboys already have enough problems,
while others say that he is going to help us win a Super Bowl.
But no one is looking at the bigger picture.
Why would anyone grab a player that has
a bad attitude?
Politics: the game that really makes America
run.
Jerry Jones brought TO for one reason
so the Cowboy stadium in Arlington can succeed. If a team is
winning, then the fans feel obligated to build a new $650-million-dollar
stadium.
Don't get me wrong, building a new stadium
is okay, but deceiving people is not the way to do it. Why not
come out and say I want $650 million dollars instead of using
politics to try to make people feel like they have to do it.
The other side of the coin is that TO is
known for his attitude, but what does a boy need with $10 million
dollars a year?
Also there is TO's attitude problem. Maybe
TO has had a bad childhood and now wants to make everyone pay
or maybe he just likes the attention.
If this happens Jerry Jones can release
him sooner, because of the contract clauses, and save cap room
for someone else. Jerry Jones must want this to happen, because
if he breaks his contract, then he could get rid of him without
hurting the team too bad. Then Jerry Jones will have his new
stadium, new team and be a richer man.
So when the Cowboys are signing new players
remember, it is just "sports" entering the political
arena, which is never good. What Jerry Jones is doing is changing
the face of sports forever and for the worse!
Politics were never meant to enter the
sports arena, but then again it is everywhere, what can we do
about it?
