I think Jerry has made it very clear that no one in the Cowboy franchise is going to diss the Flag.
The players who make it on the team have worked very hard to get there. I doubt whether there is a Kaepernick in the bunch. I haven't heard any such rumblings in the local sports media.

Bunch of millionaire crybabies. Their refrigerators are full, their pantries are full, their garages are full, their bank accounts are full, their bellies are full and their mouths are full, yet the whine about not having enough.

Except for the “Niners Tix for the Price of Two Pretzels” special they ran last Thursday night in Santa Clara.

Falcons and Lions: No one kneeling, all standing with locked arms. Seemed OK to me until the end, then the one singing the National Anthem takes a knee at the end and raises a fist.
Switched the channel.

These overpaid ghetto thugs are spitting on the graves of each and every member of the US Armed Forces that laid down their lives for this country when they take a knee during the national anthem. Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each and every soldier that died protecting it. If these b*stards hate this country so much, get the hell out! I am done with the NFL!

All it would take is for one Steeler to value their country above their team and leave the tunnel for the field and the national anthem. That would have a profound effect on the rest of his teammates. Yes!
This!

Army Ranger and Offensive Tackle Alejandro Villanueva broke with the team and came out alone and stood for the anthem.

Villanova did come out and it was a beautiful thing! Also, Tomlin said because the team was not unified in its response then they would not come out...I liked that the coaches stood on the field with hands over their hearts. I think he handled it right...no platform for the team to protest.

maybe its a good thing...if the team can't act like decent millionaires like they should, then stay away from our American heritage...

The Eagles “locked arms in solidarity” during the National Anthem. Just like Trump calling out Antifa violent thugs and exposing the truth, he put their antics on notice. It took the Eagles players hours in behind closed doors session to come up with this childish idea of locking arms. I expect more players and teams will find creative ways to stage hissy fits.

Assholes!! Don’t even play the anthem anymore, that will stop this shit!! They are not worth this song!!
To: proust
They will drop ticket prices so more local thugs will fill the stands to make it look like they’re getting supported.

They don’t care about OUR American Heritage. They want it gone, and so do their handlers.

Steelers have but only one patriot. Everyone should stand for the flag of freedom, Then talk politics afterwards. If decent is patriotism according to Hillary then stand for the flag that gives you those rights, then discuss your decent afterwards. Steelers are emotionally dusturbed

Not too sure. Seattle fans are a bunch of rich Democrats - that’s one example. Another example - this one in the NBA: Golden State fans are a bunch of rich privileged Democrats.

“””In the real word, if you engage in an unauthorized political protest on your employers time, dime and property, you get a pink slip.”””
Unless you’re a government union worker then you get to protest AND stick it your employer’s (the taxpayer) eye.

Here’s hoping the boycotts become so great the National Felony League will be bankrupt within the next 3 years and completely disintigrated.
