Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones has had it with anthem protests. Just how tired of it is he? Tired enough that Jones has now publicly said that if his team doesn’t respect the flag, they’re not going to play.
Jones was asked by Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News, about two Cowboys players who raised their fists at the end of the anthem. Jones said he did not see the raised fists. But then, Jones made a definitive statement about how he wants to see his team to handle the anthem from now on.
According to Pro Football Talk, Jones said, “If there’s anything that is disrespectful to the flag, then we will not play. OK? Understand? If we are disrespecting the flag, then we won’t play. Period. Period.”

Finally a man that gets it!!
If the protests weren't costing him money, he wouldn't care. He'd be out there kneeling with them if he thought he could make money off of it.
The liberals on Twitter are not happy right now. Jerry Jones is a racist. Trump is a Nazi. (so on and so forth)
Do they still?
I know at the Rangers games I’ve gone to they do, but they aren’t usually televised.
JJ is trying to please everyone, but just winds up pissing everybody off.
CBS released a story saying that if Colin Kaepernick was hired by a team in the NFL, he would stand for the National Anthem.
The story was TOTALLY false.
Colin Kaepernick said no one asked him that question.
And, CBS immediately retracted the story.
I wonder if Texas Governor Gregg Abbott will hold Jerry’s foot to the fire if there is disrespect and he does not pull his players/forfeits.
im sitting here dying of cancer and I have to watch the pussy big men being little bitches?
after everything I have done for this country
Jerry is just a rich business man who care not from which the next dollar comes, only that it goes into his pocket! I am a Cowboy fan but I will never watch them again, right before the Cardinal game, Jones was on the field with all the players and they all took a knee, and showing the coward that he is, then locked arms with all the players and stood for the National Anthem! Do you normally see fans in the stands with lock arms, hell no! They honor the flag individually, what Jones was trying to do was show unity, but unity to what!
Sorry if that inconveniences you.
Finally.... That’s how every team owner should be.
If the pathetic weakling NFL commissionaire Roger Goodell or enough owners did this from the get go, then the NFL ratings would still have been stronger than ever.
The players can protest all they want, but not do it on their own time not game time in front of the entire country. Oh well in the long haul it’s probably a better thing for our Republic.
Sad to see the NFL off in my house, been watching it since 5 years, but disrespecting the flag, God and/or family will not be accepted. I understand it’s not every player, coach, owner, etc.... However, the filth has taken over the NFL and ruined. The silence of those that love our country in the NFL is going to cost them in long run. That’s what happens when you let scum take over.
When I see a black fist, I give ‘em the white finger.
First you’ve got to fill the stadium. From what I understand, that’s starting to become a problem. Tee hee.
He is very late to say this, but it’s a tiny step in the right direction. I won’t watch NFL ever again, but I won’t boycott advertises any longer once the disrespect and rudeness are completely over.
Doesn’t matter - as long as one player on any team gets away with it, I won’t watch. This season doesn’t exist for me and many others.
Good...
Do they still get paid?
