The Dallas Cowboys plan to protest during the national anthem before Monday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, per multiple sources.
Nothing has been firmed up and they will likely come to some decision in the locker room. It may not be a coordinated effort. It may just be a few individuals.
One player said, “We have to do something.”
Said another, “It’s not going to be business as usual. He crossed a line. Something will be done...”
The majority of the NFL’s owners and/or teams issued statements in response to Trump’s comments over the weekend.
The Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones have yet to do so...
Garrett, however, has made it clear that he likes how his team has stood for the anthem.
That stance may change Monday night.

If not for the NFL some people would not be productive members of society. No matter of race.
Throughout the whole game make them sit or kneel on the sidelines in front of the sold-out stadium and in front of a national (though hopefully much smaller) audience.
Do it cowboys...please join in with the corrupt media, anti-American cop haters, anarchist, antifa, and the rest of leftist/liberal screw worms America.
Be my guest!
I thought I had found a new team. Maybe not.
Jerry let this get posted so more people watch.
Jerry would have his wife dancing at half time for one mor viewer.
“It’s not going to be business as usual.”
From your mouth to the fans ears.
We need to realize it is up to us, and only us, to fire them.
Don’t worry; it’s just the steroids talking.
ALL OF THIS IS ORCHESTRATED!
Kaepernick did not one day just wake up and said he hated this country. The NFL has been in existence since 1920. All those turbulent decades - through the 60s - black players played together with white players and all stood for the anthem. Now America is racist and evil?
Follow the strings being pulled. They are being pulled by Soros-front groups, Obamanites, and DNC operatives.
No need to watch. Everyone will know soon enough as the corrupt media will be all over it.
Not his words. He does not have the power to fire players.
Very astute comment. You’re so right. :)
They’re MFs.
Oh, that will really help.
Maybe they can play a protest song on their kazoos.
Man up!
Donate one year’s salary to the NAACP.
The NFL should donate one years tv revenue to the NAACP.
In a show of solidarity, the tv networks should match the donation.
Money talks and bullshit kneels.
Show me the money!
The only news from the NFL I want to hear is how low their ratings drop.
SOB’s
Psychologist will have a field day in the future studying the past few days.
I grant you some of these players have too big of an ego to see that this may be a bad career (or life choice) but some are smart enough to realize it is a no win situation.
Regardless of their choice they will be honored by some and scorned by others. The study would be on how they decided which path to follow.
While there are two paths, only one is the correct one and it will be painful.
What the individual player does will demonstrate to the world their true character as a man.
The cowards will choose the easy one, that is to go along with the crowd. The brave man will take the more difficult one, and go against the mob. He will be prepared to stand alone if need be comforted knowing he is doing the right thing.
They can all stand in the locker room and sing the North Korean national anthem for all I care.
His words on firing were an internet hoax. It was reported that he threatened to fire, but he never made such a comment.
Said another, “It’s not going to be business as usual. He crossed a line. Something will be done..
The author does not identify which players said this. Just some anonymous quotes supposedly from two players.
