Not only that, he drew a line in the Sand for protesters on his team and then caved like an Obama when two challenged him.

Too bad, so sad, too little too late.

Jerry and his entire Dallas Cowgirls team, staff, and coaches A L L CLENCHED THEIR FISTS, LOCKED ARMS, AND SIDED WITH THE "ONLY BLACK LIVES MATTER", SJW, PC Pink, "HATE WHITEY", ANTI-AMERICAN ANARCHISTS! THEY A L L WILLFULLY SUBJUGATED THEMSELVES TO AND SIDED WITH THESE HATE-FILLED GROUPS, AND EVERYTHING THEY STAND FOR AND "BENT THE KNEE" AGAINST AMERICA, AGAINST THE MILITARY, AGAINST THE POLICE, AGAINST "LAW AND ORDER" AND AGAINST THEIR OWN FAN BASE!

Jerry Jones, Bob Kraft, etc... along with the entire NFL showed, and continue to show by their WORDS and ACTIONS their TRUE COLORS: They LITERALY HATE US AND OUR COUNTRY!

The ONLY THING these MONSTERS REALLY CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY, NOTHING MORE, THAT IS ALL.

Jerry Jones and the rest in the NFL are terrified because they realize, all to late that the entire NFL has an INCURABLE, SELF-INFLICTED case of FINANCIAL EBOLA. They are literally hemorrhaging money out of every orafice of the NFL to the tune of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A WEEK WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WAY OUT AND NO END IN SIGHT!

THEY DESTROYED the NFL and have KILLED their once loyal, decades long fan base WITH THEIR OWN HANDS! THEY have KILLED the NFL goose that once laid their billion dollar solid gold NFL eggs. It is dead.

And now, all too late, Jerry and the rest are vainly trying to resurrect the goose and put Humpty Dumpy back together again.

There is only one problem with their plan: their mask of contrived, ersatz "love of country" and "patriotism" has fallen off and permanently shattered, and they have shown us all their REAL FACE and what they REALLY THINK about their fans and our country:

THEY LITERALLY HATE AND DESPISE US; ALL THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY! TAKING O U R MONEY IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THEIR OPULENT, SELF-ABSORBED, SELF-INDULGENT, EXTRAVAGANT LIFESTYLES AT THEIR FANS (and tax payers) EXPENSE.

What would be the grounds for the lawsuit?

I was not much of a fan of Jerry Jones before now.

But he has stood up to all the other team owners and given his team strict rules for follow or else get benched.

Don’t fall for it. Right after announcing zero tolerance, a Cowboy raised a
fist after a play. Jerry pointedly looked the other way.

Time to get the popcorn and watch the NFL implode. The world will be a better place after you’re gone. For all the college ballplayers out there: the world needs ditchdiggers, too.

The NFL needs to bring us some real entertainment.

Put the owners in a circular firing squad.

Put Goodell in the middle.

Game on!

“I agree with Jerry on this.”

I would have - if I had never seen him kneeling with his players in his little powder blue jacket with a smarmy grin on his face. But there is that.

Sports media is implying this is a vindictive act because of the Ezekiel Elliott situation. I think it's not that, personally. When Jones was forced to go out on the field and take a knee a month or so ago I noted at the time that his expression looked like he was being forced to eat an excrement sandwich. After all his tough talk, there he was with the team taking a knee. Humiliating loss of face. And he blames Goodell, an employee, for it. Couple that with the ratings slide, which gives him cause, and the stage is set.

Regardless of his reasons, Goodell has been the worst commissioner of any major sport ever. One stupid move after another. Disastrous PR over and over and over based on his stupid decisions. And now they are hemorrhaging fans. Over his stupid decisions. Any sane owner would want him gone. Yet the NFL seems to want to keep him, except for Jones. Typically not a Jerry Jones fan but he's right in this one.

Bob Costas warns future of football is bleak because sport ‘destroys people’s brains’

From his perch hosting Thursday Night Football, veteran sportscaster Bob Costas has a unique perspective from which to diagnose the health of the NFL — and he says the future looks bleak.

Costas, speaking at the University of Maryland on Tuesday, said the one-time “cash machine” sport was suffering after multiple investigations into former players who’ve experienced serious health issues, USA Today reported.

“The reality is that this game destroys people’s brains,” Costas said. “Not everyone, but a substantial number. That’s the fundamental fact of football, and that to me is the biggest story in American sports.”

Costas was referring to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain disease linked with repeated head trauma that has become a concern for many athletes, but mostly those playing in the NFL. The disease can impact the brain’s frontal region which controls a person’s judgment, emotion, impulse, control, social behavior and memory.

In a July report, researchers studying the brains of 202 former football players discovered traces of CTE in nearly all of them, The Associated Press reported.

Shades of Howard Cosell and Boxing. Cosell basically walked away from the sport.

Boies usually seems to end up on the losing side of highly publicized cases. He must be a great salesman.

There’s a majority, but that isn’t enough, as is usually the case in liberal groups.
