When it comes to legal controversies, the NFL likes to resolve them in-house, through a secret, rigged, kangaroo court of compelled arbitration controlled by the Commissioner. Since the system isn’t foolproof, it’s wise to have influence within the external court system.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones possibly has cultivated some.

In a lengthy look at the manner in which Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas entered a circle of wealth and power , the New York Times makes mention of the relationship between Thomas, Jones, and the Cowboys.

As chairman of the EEOC, Thomas appeared in a PSA from the Cowboys regarding equal employment opportunity. Per the report, Thomas then struck up a friendship with Jones.

Thomas, according to the Times, has flown on Jones’s private jet, attended training camp practices, and when the team played in Washington sat in Jones’s private suite. The article also states bluntly and matter-of-factly that Jones gave Thomas a Super Bowl ring.
