As the Cardinals were introduced, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, as well as executive vice presidents Stephen Jones, Charlotte Anderson and Jerry Jones Jr., stood locked arm in arm with the players, coaches and staff.
Before a giant American flag was unfurled that covered almost the entire field, the Cowboys took a knee briefly as a group, including Jerry Jones, which led to a smattering of boos from the crowd that included a large number of Dallas fans.
During the national anthem, the Cowboys stood locked arm in arm but nobody took a knee or appeared to have any sign of silent protest.

You got it.
It’s called “UNIONS”.
Locking arms is so they can’t put their hands on their hearts. It’s just more bs.
Agreed.
No matter what happens from here on,you and I and a lot of former fans will never be able to look at the NFL the same again.
lifelong fans,BURNING their gear...
It will never be the same
I am sorry to be a tad crass and disrespectful. I would take these jackasses and sew them up into “Human Centipede 4”

Hockey is a lot of fun to watch live, even minor league.
We either believe in the Constitution or NOT! I agree w Trump we need to boycott NFL, and those who do take a knee during the anthem, but it does NOT give us right to violate their right to peaceful protest, because we see them as wrong. I disagree with whole BLM perversion since all lives matter, and the Obama/Soros BLM is hoax on left.
The Constitution does not apply here. The NFL is not part of the government so they can set the rules or not for any kind of protest.
The NFL have their own rules on what they are to do during the singing of the national anthem and they all violated those rules as they are to stand during it per NFL rules. But still, it's up to the NFL to allow it or not, the Constitution has nothing to do with it.

I understand. I wasn’t talking about government regulation. It’s just that the owners and coaches seem to be playing the role of champions of their players, but in reality the players are largely a business investment. I personally doubt too many on either side have any loyalty for the other. Regarding the CTE problem, I believe we will see an increasing number of lawsuits against the owners.
That.
> The Dallas Cowgirls and the New England Pussyhats can find new fans.
I’m kind of partial to the name New England Expatriots, myself... along with Pittsburgh Kneelers and the Baltimore Cravens.
Blah, can’t post anything correctly tonight...
Have you ever noticed before a team runs out on the field the black players start dancing around doing the Jigaboo Jive or something, or they all get into an arm locking huddle and start swaying back and forth. The white guys join in too, but you can tell they don’t want to do it. This is probably similar with the kneeling and locking arms crap. The white guys don’t want to do it, but they don’t have the balls to say “he’ll no, this is stupid”.
This is not about the constitution. This is about nobody wanting to see their protest when they tune in for a football game. If they want to protest, do it on their own time. They are there to work, not make political statements. If they can't keep their work separate from their politics, they need to lose their work.
I agree w Trump we need to boycott NFL, and those who do take a knee during the anthem, but it does NOT give us right to violate their right to peaceful protest, because we see them as wrong. I disagree with whole BLM perversion since all lives matter, and the Obama/Soros BLM is hoax on left.
Again, nobody is telling them they can't protest. People just don't want to participate in their protest by being a captive audience. It's like protestors blocking traffic. They've got a right to protest, but they don't have a right to interfere with what I want to do with my rights.
Buy your own D@mn broadcast air time, don't use up that which belongs to others.
I like the Kneelers and Cravens.
I’ve heard New England Turncoats as well.
San Francisco Fudgepackers
Oakland Rapers
Jacksonville Jackasses
Never wasted my time on these overpaid THUGS before, why would I start now.
F#CK’EM ALL.
Suck it, ESPN. I’ll be laughing when you’re broke, too.
B-B-But I thought (((mah Sheriff Jerruh))) was gonna show dem Commie SOBs? Wat he be doin’ kneelin’ wit dem agitatin’ pinkos?
Eat it up, rubes. (((Sheriff Jerruh))) is as real as The Great Pumpkin.
All that League cares about is extracting $$$ from the rube sycophants. If anyone hadn’t figured that out yet, you’re even more stupid than you were two days ago. The visual proof is there for the world to see.
The NFL cares about the country about as much as any leech cares about the blood type of who it’s sucking on. It doesn’t, just look at (((Jerruh))); he done show’d dem, huh?
Childish behavior at its finest. . .wait a minute. . .even a child knows better than to thumb his or her nose at the American Flag and National Anthem.
You ask a question like that, and I have to wonder, just how pathetic and boring is your life?
Not trying to get personal, but I never had the time or the inclination to spend money or my time on a bunch of woman beating, steroid addled, THUGS who get paid millions to play a kids game.
And only for about 3 to 5 months a year at that.
