Why can’t you and others stop referring to that PRE-ANTHEM photo of the Cowboys players, coaches and owner kneeling to show the team was unified?

When the anthem played and the flag was presented, they were all standing.

Every time the photo is not properly defined, it just proliferates the lie that the whole team kneeled during the anthem.

Now if Cowboys could just stop kneeling during the game!

Just kidding.

The NFL/Sports Media are going to miss out on killing the game over head injuries if they keep on suffering self inflicted knee injuries.

Great distinction. My point has been that Jones should be supported for trying to resist the rest of the owners and the players and the other teams should be shunned until they also all stand for the anthem. What Jones is trying to do is to rally his team behind that concept and make it US against THOSE who would turn this game into a political football. I hope he succeeds, because if he doesn’t, then there will be no NFL and the disrupters will have won.

Because DURING the playing of the national anthem the entire team CLENCHED THEIR FISTS, LOCKED THEIR ARMS AND STOOD AS ONE IN DISRESPECTFUL DEFIANCE OF OUR NATION.

We all saw it and will never forget or forgive because no matter what Jones and the team says or does, THAT IS WHO THEY REALLY ARE AND WHAT THEY REALLY THINK = They HATE America and HATE US! All they really care about is taking your money, that's it.

The Dallas Cowgirls are forever dead to our entire family.

It matters not to me when they kneeled...the fact is they kneeled during the height of the controversy...they knew what they were doing, including Jones, trying to have it both ways. Once they figured out the kneeling was not appreciated by the vast majority of fans, now they’ll be upholding the policy.
