NFL Fines Cowboys Billionaire Owner Jerry Jones $250K for Obscene Gesture at Jets Game

In a rare disciplinary action against an NFL owner, the league has slapped Dallas Cowboys billionaire Jerry Jones with a $250,000 fine for making an obscene middle finger gesture toward New York Jets fans during the Cowboys' dominant 37-22 victory on October 5, 2025, at MetLife Stadium. Jones, caught on camera extending the gesture from a luxury box amid a chorus of boos, later dismissed it as an "inadvertent" wave, insisting it was not intentional. The brief 7-second clip, which has gone viral, captures the 83-year-old owner's unfiltered reaction in the heated rivalry matchup.

Despite the penalty, the fine represents a mere fraction of Jones's estimated $14 billion net worth, drawing widespread amusement and memes across social media. The Cowboys, now 4-1 on the season, continue their strong start behind quarterback Dak Prescott's four touchdown passes in the game.
