Yes the NFL is wearing pink this month to support breast cancer. I wonder if it’s to distract people from the official domestic abuse awareness month? NFL don’t want to go near that subject.

Were Jones and the Cowboys disrespecting the flag with their kneeling and chorus-line arm locking a couple of weeks ago? If so, Jones should apologize profusely. If not, his proclamation does not apply to such behavior, so they can do it and still play.

Jones is trying to have it both ways.

I have been an avid Cowboy since 1971. My Sundays were scheduled around their games, which I loved to watch. I don’t watch them now.

If the pre-anthem kneeling was "meaningless", as you contend, why did Jones and the Cowboys do it at all? Clearly, it "meant" something... what? The way most people understand it is that they were kneeling in solidarity (agreement) with the BLM/America sucks crowd. Then, upon standing, they kept their arms linked during the anthem, furthering their intent to show their support for them. IMO it's a little disingenuous to say "oh, it's ok, they knelt before the anthem." At the point things were in the matter, ANY kneeling (or hiding in the locker room) couldn't be reasonably interpreted as anything but a middle finger.

I also like how Jerry put Tom Landry’s things in box and fired him after what 30 years... Always a class act that Jerry. What will be do to endear himself to fans next... Oh wait who cares about the nfl. Nfl is on the same trajectory as Isis and for largely the same reason - America hate. Your buddy Jerry is cool with that just as it makes him money. Sorry Jerry you sided with the enemy. Through his actions and here Jerry Jones has come out as anti American and so is his team

Great comment and perspective, Sargon.

Jerry Jones is the smartest owner in the league — and maybe the one with the most to lose.

If all NFL owners had the same policy, then maybe the NFL could stop the bleeding. Then again, the brand is tainted now. Tough to return to its former glory as a professional league.

“The Cowboys knelt BEFORE the anthem to show that regardless of their personal opinions on things, they were united as a TEAM.”

United as a team against what? That is the question. It seems to me that the “what” is Trump and the rest of us who are offended by those who knelt previously. Timing is everything here to understand this. This must be true or else they would have been showing unity like this for years, if it’s just a team thing? Also, Jerry and his team did this when everyone in the media was saying how big a loss this would be for Trump. It’s possible Jerry was catering to the “majority” for his own profit. Turns out the “majority” was limited to those who hate this country and the media. But I repeat myself.

Very few people believe that disrespect for the flag and the county can only occur during the anthem. Personally I’m repulsed by the idea that one can publicly disrespect the county and stand during the anthem and everything will be alright. I’m not that gullible.

I’m not saying they don’t have the right. They do! But, I have the right to not buy their product, and try and convince as many people as I have influence over not the buy either.

Sargon, Jerry Jones belongs to a league that is openly disrespecting our nation. His individual team actions don't mean squat. When he pulls out of the NFL entirely, let me know. Until then, he is just as complicit as everyone else in allowing this to fester. I was a life-long Saints fan since their inception in 1967 but as far as I am concerned, they and their entire league can go to hell for what they have allowed. The left is constantly pushing us to give in to their agenda, this being the latest episode. You want to give in a little, go ahead and watch your cowboys. I am through giving in and more in the mood to start taking back what's been stolen from me over the years.

The Dallas Cowards kneeled before the National Anthem with locked arms but stood just before it played. Trying to have it both ways and appease the BLM supporters on the team. Very cowardly in my opinion.

Even though I WAS a lifelong fan (NO MORE), I never considered the Dallas Cowboys to be “America’s Team”, that is offensive to the fans of the other 31 teams out there. Ironically, they could have been truly “America’s Team” on Monday night 1 1/2 weeks ago had they all stood at attention for the National Anthem, with right hands over their hearts, left hands holding their helmets, and singing.

They blew it and there is the image Jerry Jones locking arms and kneeling with clenched fists and a smug look of misplaced defiance on his face.

The NFL has been exposed as supporters of BLM which is nothing more than a police-hating terrorist group.

These players are a bunch of multimillionaire brats who have no clue and 99.9% of them never served in the military.

I predict this will end badly for them. The average freedom-loving American will tune them out and won’t put up with this crap.

Your argument is nothing but empty semantics:

Before, during or after the anthem it doesn't matter WHEN the Dallas Cowerers "bent the knee", the point is they ALL DID IT, INCLUDING THE OWNER, MANAGER, ALL OF THEM!

The team chose to UNANIMOUSLY disrespect America, spit on our country, our military, our law enforcement and join/side with with black racist, only black lives matter, sjw, antifa, PC pink and all of the other anti-American, anarchists who HATE America and EVERYTHING it stands for.

“Before, during or after ... he was still honoring the Marxists”

That’s how you clarify any confusion!
