Jerry Jones is now center stage, but not for a reason he'd like to be.
The Hall of Famer owner took ownership of nearly every major headline in the 24-hour news feed when he took a powerful stance regarding how the Dallas Cowboys will handle the National Anthem. Through the team's Week 5 game against the Green Bay Packers, no Cowboys' player had offered any type of demonstration during the signing of the Anthem -- remaining one of the few teams with that designation.
Jones' comments were unexpected, considering the aforementioned combined with the discussions that took place after comments made by Donald Trump condemning the NFL and protestors alike. Now over a week removed from unveiling his team edict, Jones has met with his players and the Cowboys are hoping to move forward on the same page.

Boy, the protestors must really be well organized. They seem to have a list of targets and have them prioritized. The targets schedules are known to them and they are able to call out their goon squads at a moments notice. Someone has big bucks invested in what they are doing.
One word . . . SOROS!!!

Amen! "Good. He and the other owners put on their pink hats and this is what they get. I hope he was very nervous."
Colin, thanks to you as a BLM/NFL useless idiot, you woke Americans up to the NFL scam on our tvs and in our tax payer stadiums. Your contribution to Americans will be remembered, like 8 years of Obama and H. Clintoon's campaigning gave us President Trump!
NFL = NEW FAR LEFT!
More NFL teams renamed: Oakland Traitors, Baltimore Cravens, Buffalo Bolsheviks, Green Bay Pinkos, Washington Red Guards, Los Angeles Chekists, Jacksonville Jacobins.

Very good! Thanks.
The NFL is dying and will never recover. No matter what they do won’t help. What they do to save their butts will not be sincere and people will see through it..
They spoiled it and it smells really bad.

With the internet, they can not get away with their bs and lies.

Why didn’t Jerry shout back at this a-hole about the FIVE DEAD DALLAS COPS?

I have had trouble with Jerry Jones on some issues. But I admire him now for the stance he has taken.
People need to remain loyal to stances they take.
Jerry Jones has spoken to Donald Trump about the National Anthem protests.

"...he took a powerful stance regarding how the Dallas Cowboys will handle the National Anthem..."Um, no he didn't.
He is a craven coward trying to protect his revenue stream.
He coddles his pets out of fear of losing that revenue.

Yeah, how is Jones being accosted?
By today's "snowflake" standards this is what passes for "accosting"
Where stating one's opinions(contrary to the PC line) is assault and enforcing the nation's laws is "genocide" and Trump is "Hilter"

Gosh. I didnt know so many OWS types were Cowboy fans.
I doubt "Antifa boy" can name the starting line up of Dallas's offence.
Or just name any player on any team that's not "Kneegroeing"

That protestor with the cap is Carl Dix, a 1960s radical,
The thing I've noticed about these Antifa type protesters. None look like they have/ or capable of having a job if the younger type or older sixties types that look like they haven't had a bath since the sixties.

Hey Jerry, so what did that spineless little knee with the team on national television before the anthem do for ya? Was it worth it?
As a major Cowboy fan(since 1974)I winced when he did that.
And I'm sure I heard whirling sounds from the vicinity of Tom Landry's grave-site.

I'm sure Soros pays them enough to keep them well supplied with Thunderbird for the long winter on the streets./sar.
