Can y’all guess who was offended, triggered, butthurt, and so on…..
If y’all guessed NFL refs, you are WRONGGG!
Jerry Jones is facing a possible fine for his Halloween costume, after the Dallas Cowboys owner dressed up as an NFL referee who is implied to be blind.
National Federation of the Blind Director of Public Relations Chris Danielsen told PEOPLE on Thursday that the costume “plays on the stereotype that blind people are generally incompetent because of our lack of eyesight.”
Honestly, I doubt anyone besides this idiot thinks that.
Added Danielsen, “That general stereotype, in turn, limits our opportunities for employment and for participation in society. This is not just an issue of a perceived problem; statistics routinely verify that blind people have an unemployment rate of between 60 and 70%. This is not because we are unemployable, but because too many employers still internalize low expectations and stereotypes about us.”
OH good grief!
