PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins issued a strong response to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on Friday, referring to him as a "bully" for requiring his players to stand for the national anthem, while urging owners around the league -- including Eagles Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie -- to speak up in support of the players on this issue.
"Jeffrey has been very supportive of us from the beginning. I don't see Jeffrey as a bully like Jerry Jones is. Lucky for me, I don't play for the Cowboys. Nor would I want to. I think it's unfortunate that you have owners like him that use his position to intimidate and intentionally thwart even the idea of his players thinking individually or having a voice about issues that affect their communities daily, which is unfortunate. But for them, hopefully you'll have guys challenge that, and they'll have my full support."
they are kowtowing because they are deathly afraid of a strike.
Given the current situation, they may get one anyway
They are actually deathly afraid of violence in the locker room ...
If they let them continue, they will be financially destroyed.
It they try to reel them in, they will get a strike which is what they have been trying to avoid.
If they get a strike and the boycott, they will circle the bowl.
I hope they get a strike, let the players put their money where their mouth is.
the funny part is the players go on strike and come back to smaller contracts.
I would ask all these players do off the field to further there cause. I bet absolutey nuttin’
As to number 3, was last year the first year that people went Christmas shopping?
the announcers are LEFTISTS, what else are they going to say?
It doesn’t matter that now
some of the players will be forced
to stand for our country. They’ve
killed the sport for me.
Their beliefs remain in place.
These actions will do little to
bring their fans back.
What a faggot.
He’s just a little bitty feller with a big mouth...
Hey MJ - GFY
So, why should I care about what you think about anything, moron? Not a Cowboys fan, since I been a Packers fan since the Ice Bowl, but Jones is good...
