VIDEO: Jerry Jones accosted by protestors in hotel lobby

Jerry Jones is now center stage, but not for a reason he'd like to be.

The Hall of Famer owner took ownership of nearly every major headline in the 24-hour news feed when he took a powerful stance regarding how the Dallas Cowboys will handle the National Anthem. Through the team's Week 5 game against the Green Bay Packers, no Cowboys' player had offered any type of demonstration during the signing of the Anthem -- remaining one of the few teams with that designation.

Jones' comments were unexpected, considering the aforementioned combined with the discussions that took place after comments made by Donald Trump condemning the NFL and protestors alike. Now over a week removed from unveiling his team edict, Jones has met with his players and the Cowboys are hoping to move forward on the same page.

And not taking a knee.

Jones is not a Texan. He is a union huckster.

” Jerry listened politely and walked away.”

LOL! Jerry was confused by this confused protestor!

Wondering why the heck someone on his side would be protesting him!

“I was a little surprised Jerry stopped and listened to the guy,”

He was confused on why the dude was protesting him! After all, they are on the same side!

Hey Jerry, so what did that spineless little knee with the team on national television before the anthem do for ya? Was it worth it? You think they’re all of a sudden going to stop calling you a racist and leave you alone?

That’s why you can’t give an inch to these SJW/BLM scums.

All because McCain took a knee and essentially forfeited to Obama.

Boy, the protestors must really be well organized. ...Someone has big bucks invested in what they are doing.

Union money, Soros money, foundation money - it all comes together for the NY leftists. The Occupy Wall Street charade was another example of their planned political "theater."

One more thing - these leftists will never be a replacement for the NFL audience, even if the NFL totally caves to them.

That protestor with the cap is Carl Dix, a 1960s radical, who has an organization to “fight Fascism.” Somehow I got on his mailing list and get his emails. He was bragging in one about doing this.

Yeah, how is Jones being accosted? The screeching was by one of the BLM Klan members claiming his million dollar players were slaves.

Have you considered it was a staged event and Jones helped plan it?
