Despite their best efforts, the Cowboys' helmets will not feature a decal supporting Dallas police officers this season.

According to Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News, the NFL denied the team's request for permission to include a decal reading "Arm In Arm" on their lids for the upcoming season. That decal, which the team has been wearing on its helmets during training camp, is in support of Dallas Police and the officers killed in July's sniper attack.

The NFL seemed to be okay with honoring the victims in Paris last season: http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/11/15/nfl-players-allowed-tributes-paris-victims

Dan Rooney sure sold his soul to the Democrats to get that ambassadorship. Turned his team practically into a bolt-on appendage of the Obama Campaign.

Typically, the NFL gets it wrong. Just kill the sport, you friggin’ morons.

They're trying!

I’m more into the Premier League now than I am the NFL.

Season starts Saturday.

I haven’t watched the National Criminal’s League for decades now. I see I’m justified.

Just wear the decals and see if the NFL fines you. If they do, the Cowboys can ask why they got fined and the NFL player who posted this (below) didn't get fined.

Yea!! Now I won't be forced to choose between Matlock reruns and garden hose infomercials with my weekend morning coffee.

Well, if the”arm in arm” decal doesn’t fly, they should put a big blue star on their helmets and say it is in honor of the Dallas police officers.

Well they wear blue and have a star on their helmet. Just make it look like a sheriff star.

Good for the Dallas Cowboys.

If the NFL can’t take a stand for the police officers, I can’t take a stand for it.

There are so many good things to do in life besides watching grown men get rich by playing with a ball, and paying more for your beer and cars for that privilege.

Just do it anyway. Support for the police, a fundamental institution, is obviously neccessary, no matter what some pajama boy in NYC says.

Same here dfwg. It can be entertaining. I've got to brush up on the rules more though.

The Spurs had some really good players. Still can’t figure out why Kane was not used more during Euro16.
