Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings made an appeal to the Dallas Cowboys when training camp opened on July 30, less than a month after five police officers were shot and killed by a downtown sniper during a Black Lives Matter protest march.
The Cowboys’ organization doesn’t solve crimes.
Individual players have tightly defined job descriptions, and trying to do too much outside of that narrow focus on the field can often be as costly as not doing enough.
But Rawlings asked for a little more that day from a team coming off a 4-12 season with question marks of its own swirling.
