Their comments are about a published photo of Jones from 1957 outside North Little Rock High School as black students were being integrated into the school for the first time. Among the crowd pictured, some are attempting to block the new students from entering.

From the times we’ve come from to where we are now, thinking about the growth we’ve had,” Prescott said."That’s who I am, how I think—optimistic.
Prescott went on to say that he"wouldn’t be here if it were still" 1957, as an example of the progress the country has made. He directed further questions regarding the photo to Jones himself.James had previously gone on the record proclaiming he was no longer a Dallas Cowboys fan over the team's stance against kneeling during the national anthem.
