Could Jerry Jones Sell the Dallas Cowboys to Saudi Arabia?
That's an outlandish, unfounded rumor.
On a recent episode of The Carton Show, host Craig Carton suggested that owner Jerry Jones may be looking to sell the Dallas Cowboys to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF).
There is no evidence to support this claim. In fact, Jones has repeatedly said that he has no intention of selling the team.
Here are some reasons why the rumor is likely false:
- The Cowboys are one of the most valuable sports franchises in the world. According to Forbes, the team is worth $6.5 billion.
- Jones is a proud Texan. He has been the owner of the Cowboys since 1989 and has built the team into one of the most successful in the NFL.
- The PIF is a sovereign wealth fund that is controlled by the Saudi government. The fund has been criticized for its human rights record.
It is highly unlikely that Jones would sell the Cowboys to a fund that is controlled by a government with a poor human rights record.
Selling the Cowboys could make Jerry Jones over $10 billion, but he's not even remotely interested.
In a recent interview with The Dallas Morning News, Jones said that he has no interest in selling the Cowboys.
"I'm not going to sell the Cowboys," Jones said. "I'm going to die with the Cowboys."
Jones's comments should put an end to the rumors that he is looking to sell the team.
