Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones used a derogatory slur for little people when speaking to reporters as his team opened training camp.
Jones was discussing former Cowboys director of college and pro scouting Larry Lacewell, who died in May at the age of 85, and used the offensive term while making a hand gesture suggesting he was looking for a smaller person.
"Lace held court out here," Jones said. "I'm going to get me somebody, a m----t, to stand up there with me and dress him up like Lace and think Lace is still out here helping us.
