Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones issued an apology Tuesday for using a derogatory term to describe little people when paying tribute to a team executive who recently passed away.
Jones dropped the "m word" in fondly sharing memories about former Cowboys scouting director Larry Lacewell, a key figure in Dallas' run of three Super Bowls titles in the 1990s.
He died in May at age 85.
“Earlier today I made a reference which I understand may have been viewed as offensive. I apologize,” Jones said in a statement on Tuesday evening.
Speaking to reporters at Cowboys training camp in Oxnard, California, Jones said Lacewell was always a popular figure who drew an audience whenever he spoke.
