Todd ArcherJosh Weinfuss Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print comment GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals displayed unity Monday night before their game in an expression of displeasure with the recent comments made by President Donald Trump.

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.

This is the NFL’s Ron Artest moment, and they’re too stupid to even realize it.

It is not against peaceful protest but what statement is being made through that protest. They are saying “We don’t appreciate the police, the soldiers, the history, or the President.” We are saying you and all your remaining fans can go fly a kite.

FOX reported little 8 year old players were taking a knee the other day. They are too young to understand what they were doing. This is all on their parents.

Exactly. The whole terrorist blm group was founded on lies.

This whole s***storm was stirred up over 8 yrs by pRESIDENT soetoro telling blacks that their lives suck because White people are racist and stealing everything that rightfully belongs to them and he continues to add fuel to the fire.

It seems the only support the NFL, the players, coaches, and owners are getting for all this BS is from the enemedia.

After all, it is the enemedia’s false “America is racist” narrative from which so many in the NFL were duped by. If these players and all, only understood how the enemedia and the left turned them in to useful idiots, in reality.

Suckers, All of them!

Locking arms means they can’t place their hands on their hearts. It’s just more bs.

Yep, and all of the above can happen peacefully and with no one’s rights being violated. This isn’t about the constitution or rights or the law or whatever. It’s about middle America being tired of the left’s never-ending temper tantrum, of which this stupid kneeling business is just the latest expression.

The main thing these overpaid black athletes who have desecrated our flag and anthem need to know is that we are not “moving on”. We will be on their ass forever from now on. SOBS!!!
