Jerry Jones is on record as saying his players will stand for the anthem or be fired. Guess we are about to learn whether he means it.

Jerry Jones also signed Michael Sam.

I hope he keeps his word. I hope he has the police escort them from the stadium.

That’s not exactly what he said.

As much as I hate the Cowboys I hope they stand.

That was fake news actually.

Jones never said he would fire players for not standing up for the National Anthem.

Doug Baldwin claimed that Jones had said this - but Baldwin was referring to a facebook post that had a fake quote. Or more correctly had a bit of a fantasy story describing Jerry Jones in the locker room talking to the team.

Jones has said he finds the protests disappointing, but stopped short of saying he would fire anyone.

Yeah right. It’s Jerry Jones but he is genuinely pro-American. Let’s see.

I guarantee you there isn’t a Dallas area resident that would put up a dime betting he will... it was always bull crap.

Landry could be trusted but Jones not so much. He'll cave. Just because they may be forced to stand doesn't mean they'll do so willingly or have their hands on their hearts.
