ESPN commentator and former Washington Post columnist Michael Wilbon went after Jerry Jones on Pardon the Interruption, comparing the Dallas Cowboys owner to a slaveholder for comments he made about players protesting during the national anthem.
“The word that comes to my mind, and I don’t care who doesn’t like me using it, is ‘plantation,’ ” Wilbon said to co-host Tony Kornheiser on Monday. “The players are here to serve me; they will do what I want no matter how much I pay them. They are not equal to me. That’s what this says to me and to mine.
