I hate the leftist media.
This was prior to the National Anthem.
They stood for the National Anthem.

Doesn’t matter. They should be apolitical. Period.

Then why did they take a knee? They did so because President Trump called out the entire NFL for disrespecting America. This is more an adult temper tantrum because someone bruised their ego..............SCREW the BASTARDS!!!

Its a leftist league. This league would not allow Dallas to honor the fallen cops with a decal on their helmet. Jerry Jones caved in, just like he’s caving in to his ignorant players by kneeling. This league didn’t even let Tim Tebow take a knee. Its not just media its greed, corruption, and decadence, lusting for power and control. the useful idiots and the marxist revolutionaries crushing freedom with political correctness.

“This was prior to the National Anthem.

A difference without a distinction.

Is Jerry Jones going to make on his promise to fire them? Or is this just a way to game the threat? This was a blatant violation of the players’ Code of Conduct and the CBA.

Either way, I am done with NFL! Cowboys were the last ones I had any faith in.

What was the purpose of the Cowboys taking a knee? It seems it was done to show solidarity with those that are taking a knee during the National Anthem...so even if the Cowboys did it before the anthem- it still seems like a slap in the face to America. So what is the difference between taking a knee during the National Anthem and taking a knee before to show you are supporting those that do so?

Liberals are running around posting on social media that people are just too stupid to understand why these athletes are doing this. The funny thing is I have heard several reasons.

Most seem to say it is because of “racial injustice” protesting blacks killed by police, but some say it is because the National Anthem itself mentions slavery and Francis Scott Key owned slaves? Others claim to be doing it because President Trump said those taking a knee during the National Anthem should be fired. A new reason I heard today is a black woman said our flag never did one thing for black people and their freedom.

I do not care why they are doing it, what they are doing is disrespecting our country, our flag, our anthem. I cannot and will not ever support that.
