If only Jerry Jones was as clear-headed about the other things his players do.
That’s why I said “ONE thing” he did right.
Of course, he is no different than ALL the other owners in that he is willing to over look several things, as long as those things don’t keep him from lining his pockets with money.
He knows that these protests are costing him and the NFL $$, so he wants no part of that!
He also knows that the rest of the NFL love to HATE the Cowboys, so he doesn’t mind some of the antics of his players - it’s a double-edged sword!
Jerry is completely clear-headed about what his players do. If it costs him money, they’re gone. The fans have rarely cared about criminal behavior off the field. If linebacker Roderick X issues a press statement denying that he will be at next Friday’s night club shooting, the fans will laugh it off as long as he plays his position well. But fans draw the line at misconduct on the field, and disrespecting the country during the National Anthem is on-field conduct. Jerry knows where the lines are, and for the fan that conduct crosses the line, and costs Jerry money. If the fans really cared about next Friday’s night club shooting, Jerry would be “clear headed” about that too.
