The players broke him, plain and simple. Trump said nothing different than Jones himself said (other than the SOB part) but the players basically called his bluff. They said “screw you, we’re all taking a knee. What are you going to do, old man?” and he caved. Now they know they own him.

It'll be lots of fun for him now, knowing that his investment is worth nothing unless he continues to kiss thug ass... and they won't be shy in thinking of new places he hasn't already kissed.

I guess old Jerry had to give his plantation players a way out.
Certainly better than kneeling during the anthem.
However, it still allowed politics into an entertainment event.
Are white players allowed to bring their politics into the game too?

I actually dont mind the compromise. It lets everybody make a point without disrespecting the flag/anthem.

If the left is out to get football and the players play along they get what they deserve. Owners will be rich no matter what.

Every owner, including Jones, wimped out as a CEO.

Each SHOULD HAVE SAID, “When you put on that uniform, you no longer represent your own political opinions - you represent THE TEAM, and your political opinions have no business being associated with out TEAM, no matter what they are! You are fired if you take a political opinion with your uniform on!”

NFL is over when the owners go political, or cave to their players.

Rush is right. Trump is right.

Good bye NFL.

Very disappointing and disgusting. Sorry Cowboys you made a big mistake. Thought you had more backbone. May your season be very unproductive.

That’s the crazy thing even if fans don’t leave it could be a huge issue. I would imagine many fans watch more than one game, I used to watch four or five between Monday night Thursday night Sunday night and a 1pm and 4pm game on Sunday afternoon. So theoretically fans could continue to follow thier home team while still seeing a huge drop in TV audience.

Do yourself a favor and turn off the TV and be done with “Pro” sports.

There are many more things you can do with your time instead of sitting in front of the “idiot box”.

This nonsense will continue right through the Stupid Bowl (and expect it during the MLB playoffs and World Series).

Virtually all “Pro” sports are made up of spoiled multi-millionaires ... not worth a warm cup of piss.

The left owns a good deal of the entertainment industry. Why some people on FR thinks that means "except for the sports teams because they are SO independent" is a real mystery.

All professional sports are monopolies and run by unions who take public money and property for their personal use.

We used to be against that.

The knee before is to say, “We are protesting the president, not the anthem.”

Well, I stand by President Trump and the National Anthem.

So screw 'em.

Only to see what happened on the anthem, no other reason.

Grown men playing childish games.

And I’m not talking about football.

I guess the boos that rained down suggest the compromise didn't sit well with the consumers of the product.

Question: Does anyone know who Louie Farrakan was BEFORE he called Judaism a gutter religion? I see too many similarities in Mr. Kapernick’s action. Hey, it works! ‘Outside’ forces are busy working to keep the issue of racism on the front burner even though it’s not the #1 issue out there. Trump is fighting back and these forces cannot handle it. Time for more popcorn.
