Jerry Jones got some negative feedback in home territory.
Spain and France were battling in a World Cup 2026 semifinal match on Monday, July 14, a different kind of playoff football that AT&T Stadium – the home of the Dallas Cowboys – hasn't been privy to all that often in recent years.
Jones, the firebrand Dallas Cowboys owner, was in attendance for the matchup, and received a less-than warm welcome by those in attendance.
Interestingly, the broadcast opted not to show Jones on TV, defaulting to the suite of FIFA president Gianni Infantino and Co. instead.
When Fox showed Infantino, the crowd served a hearty helping of boos – but the broadcast made note that those boos were likely intended for Jones.
It's not the first time that Jones has been booed in friendly territory. In 2025, he was jeered by those in attendance at the Texas-Ohio State Cotton Bowl matchup.
Of course, Dallas fans may have some sour feelings towards the team owner, president and GM. The Cowboys have had little playoff success during Jones' reign in recent years, and the team is currently in the midst of a 30-year NFC championship game drought, the longest such in the conference.
So, there are either a lot of salty Cowboys fans in Dallas, or the disdain for the owner spans both kinds of football.
