Here's how Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals handled national anthem
San Diego Union Tribune ^ | 9/25/17 | Abby Hamblin

Posted on 09/25/2017 5:56:00 PM PDT by Jolla

Owner Jerry Jones joined his team in taking a knee. The Cowboys then stood up and linked arms for the national anthem.

The Dallas Cowboys all took knees on the field and the Arizona Cardinals linked arms across from them before their Monday Night Football game, a move that followed a closely-watched Sunday in which NFL teams and their owners rebuked President Donald Trump’s criticism of athletes protesting during the national anthem.

Amazing how many are giving them a pass here!

*****************************************

They want to give them a pass, so they can feel justified in watching. No principles.

Only if you believe that appeasement is a good solution.

“Tough talking Jerry Jones...”

I knew Trump was good, but I didn’t think he could do it... he got the Dallas Cowgirls to line dance on national TV.

No one on the entire Cowboys team stood up? There's not a single real man among them. Not one.

As for the people booing in the stands -- what good does that do? Try not showing up or not buying anything at the concessions stands. Hit the jerks in their wallets or you can expect more of this.

This sh** is turning into a big joke. Besides slapping fans in the face, they are starting to look and sound like infants

Stand, sit, kneel, link arms, hold hands, hands on shoulders, hands on waists, fists in the air, heads up, heads down. these are asinine, empty, hashtag gestures, and signifies nothing except that they have the mentality of children

You don't get to be neutral on an issue like this.

You don't get to define the terms.

The players did not take a knee *during* the anthem. They did it before. As long as they stood with respect to the flag during the 90 seconds or so they played the song, then they've done what's required of them. For the other three hours, they can act like jerks and thugs and it only reflects on their team, not on the flag.

Go back to Kaepernick himself that started this whole thing. He never said that he meant to disrespect the flag or our troops. He even topped it off by saying he thought Hillary Clinton should be in jail but, of course, the media didn't mention that part.

He wanted to draw attention to police violence. OK, so noted. He's pretty much thrown away his career for being an idiot. Why certain players want to continue this little tantrum, I don't know but the Cowboys handled it pretty well.

Kneel - ok we got your point. Stand - ok, now get ours. Then, let's kick off and get the game going. Nobody pays $100 a seat to watch how they handle the anthem. It's ridiculous.

Plenty of things to do on a Sunday afternoon. I did watch yesterday just to see the Chiefs defeat the Los Angeles Traitors. Won’t do so again this season.

“Not only am I not watching any NFL games, I’m giving serious consideration to taking my NFL-related hats, shirts and other paraphernalia and donating it to the local battered women’s shelter.”


Bravo my friend.

I did this last year. I cleaned out my closet of all my 49er hats and starter

jackets (yes, i said starter jackets!) and she ran them over to WEAVE.

Took down all my posters and ticket stubs. Reminded me how much

money I wasted on this stupid crap.

Most people cheered when the guy on the left appeased the guy on the right.
But the guy on the right wasn't satisfied. He just demanded more. We will see that in this case as well.

Who do these elite rich people think will join the military and risk their lives if these elites continue to show contempt and hatred for those who do the job now?

And once the diehard football fans figure that out, there will be no going back. Rush was right. The players and useful idots (owners) are killing the game. Good riddance. I used to love football, but I won't watch anymore. Why should I sit down for a fun game only to have wealthy, spoiled brats stick their collective thumb in my eyes?

The only thing obvious about that post is its idiocy.

Burn the paraphernalia. One of these thugs might mistake a woman wearing it for their baby momma and beat the crap out of them.

The Left loses a kneeling exercise. Their goal is to destroy symbols of American patriotism and nationalism, which is what Kapernick was doing. Kneeling as an exercise without the attempted defamation of America eventually becomes the Christian symbol for prayer.

The true test is the hard core subversives, and their desire to continue to trespass on the anthem - they will reject the Jones Solution to precisely attack American patriotism and nationalism. They will be alone.
