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.

$40 million slaves? Where do these idiots come up with this BS?

I wish my ancestors were so "enslaved"

They had to work their own fields for a fraction of this amount....

[RedMonqey]

Miyagi was right.

Yep!

[Chgogal]

Hey Bush, who is bullying whom?

[RedMonqey]

I imagine their “call to arms” will fall flat as their “deface statues” plans on Columbus day

[RedMonqey]

I got the impression the “conservative” cultural facade down there might not be all it’s propped up to be.

Just as many major cities have their gay quarters, I'm sure Dallas has an area where there are plenty of homosexual bars and discos(did I just date myself?)

What stunned me was that Dallas allowed their confederate statues to be removed... by the city government.

It is just as liberal as any other big city.

Sad.

Oak Lawn.

I wonder how much profit Jones could make by placing the Cowboys in suspension & using the stadium only for other gatherings & concerts??? Damn little overhead & no inflated salaries for over paid ‘athletes’.

I bet Trump could rent it for a campaign appearance for 2020.

[RedMonqey]

Oooh, but, but, he's excused because he took a knee "before" the anthem. Nope, sorry, you took a knee, Jerry.

"Jerrah" tried to appease his black players and not aggravate his conservative fan base and wound up doing neither.

That's why the local TV ratings dropped and his "pledge" to bench any player who doesn't stand.

We will see.

We will see.

[RedMonqey]

Thanks for the warning!

[RedMonqey]

Jones needs to shut down the Cowboys and send the boys to the unemployment line.

"Jerrah" will wait for the "market" to rebound, unload it to some poor smuck, then watch as the league destroys itself.

Only thing this time he has misjudged the market and will get caught with his p%%ker in his zipper, figuratively speaking.

[RedMonqey]

He may already done this.

HeeHee.

[RedMonqey]

In my opinion that is how you protest and how you handle a protest.

Antifa types don't get aggressive unless they have the numbers on their side.

I imagine "Jerrah" has some stout bodyguards nearby glaring at this protester and any "unlawful acts" were quickly shelved.

where is their employment office? - looks like easy money (just kidding)

[RedMonqey]

(grins!)

And; better informed since I looked it up; too!
