Jerry Jones owner of the Dallas Cowboys<\/strong>, apologised Tuesday afternoon.<\/h3>\n

In a statement, he said, “I know I made a comment earlier today that some people might have found offensive.” “I apologise.”<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong> was paying tribute to former Cowboys<\/a> director<\/strong> of scouting Larry Lacewell<\/strong> when he used the “m” word, which Little People of America considers a derogatory slur. The 65-year-old organisation said in a 2015<\/strong> article called “LPA<\/strong> issues statement to abolish the’m’ word” that the word was created as a label for short people who were put on public display for curiosity and sport.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong> said this during a time when everyone else was talking about the deaths of more than 10 former Cowboys players, coaches, employees,<\/strong> and partners.<\/strong> The owner and general manager of the Cowboys said that in June, he went to Arkansas State for a memorial service for Lacewell.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong> said, “Stephen<\/strong> and I went to Jonesboro,<\/strong> where a lot of our staff, especially our scouts, gave a big memorial to Lace.” “This is where Lace held court.”<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong> then used the slur to say that he wanted someone shorter than him “to stand him up there with me and dress him up like Lace. It’s crazy to think that Lace is still out here with us, helping us look at practise. We all need our props, you know.”<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong> used a term that Merriam-Webster<\/strong> says is “sometimes offensive”<\/strong> to describe a very small or unusually small person. He showed the height of a shorter person with his hand. Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries<\/strong> calls the word “taboo, offensive,”<\/strong> and then defines it as “an offensive word for a person who is very short because of a medical condition called dwarfism.” Dictionary.com<\/strong> says it is a “older term that is insulting and rude.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Language<\/strong> has the power to cause permanent damage<\/strong> to a person’s self-esteem<\/strong> and sense of self,” the Little People of America website<\/strong> says. “This is true whether the word is used to bully and insult or just as a synonym for small.” “The community of people with dwarfism has said that they prefer to be called dwarfs,<\/strong> little people, people of short stature, or people with dwarfism, or just by their given names.”<\/p>\n
