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.

I will not watch any football. The NFL can get bent as far as I am concerned. The league id full felonious thugs, the league is run by anti American leftists.

Boycott the NFL

Good point mw. They were in it up until the last couple of games. I was hoping they would pull it out for Kane and the Hot Spurs. Maybe this year. I hope so. I will be watching.

I don’t agree with the helmet decals. That oversteps the players and their personal thoughts. This is no different than talking union dues from members used to represent then union and donating it to presidential campaign pacs.

If you want to do it right, make a wall inside the stadium and put the pictures of the Officers with their names and a statement of recognition. Or a statue outside the stadium of a police officer with their names inscribed on the base. This is what Jerry Jones is saying, not the players. Don’t speak for them. Let them speak for themselves.

Every fan in the stadium should display whatever sticker it was that the Cowboys wanted to wear. The NFL won’t be able to stop it and will eat a rather large portion of crow on national TeeVee.

Thinking about putting a few bob on Hull City (just promoted to Barclay this year)to win it all, just for the heck of it. If they won, it would make me a rich person.

That is the only thing I like about the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones, he has enough balls to do it anyway and tell the NFL to f*&^ off.

The NFL is dead to me. It has been dead for over a decade.

Big surprise. 90% of the Dallas Cowboys’ starting lineup is negro -—like everybody else in the league.

Jews own the teams, negroes are the well-paid hired hands, and white folks pay the freight.

I hope it works out for you, that is, if Tottenham doesn't do it. LOL

I stopped watching sports years ago since it was obvious that they were run by libs with a social agenda.

Used to watch soccer (real football), but sadly it’s gone down the same sick path.

The NFL won't allow this... on my Boys helmet--

Yet they probably will allow this... for the DC Deadskins!

Oh so... typical--
