Cowboys Owner Makes an Anthem Stand: ‘If We Are Disrespecting the Flag, Then We Won’t Play. Period’
Breitbart ^ | 8 Oct 2017 | Dylan Gwinn

Posted on 10/08/2017 7:54:08 PM PDT by conservative98

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.”

I’d like to see Jerry follow through with that and the next time around just forfeit the game. I won’t be surprised when he doesn’t though.

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers brought them cowpokes to their knees today.

But he kneels in “solidarity” of protest with his oppressed millionaires. And BTW, this black power fist protest offends me just as much even if they are standing!

Ef the Cowboys.

They will keep kneeling in Colin’s honor before the Anthem.

It’s only semantics and timing to them. They will still honor BLM and cop killing.

Perhaps Jerry now sees that it would have been better for him to stick to his guns, and fire any player who failed to stand for the anthem, or disrespected the flag (or fans) in any way.

I know he thought doing the group kneel before the anthem last week was a smart compromise, but it really wasn’t, because the players are protesting a non-existent injustice.

I’m starting to realize how many other things I get done when I’m not watching football; feels good getting stuff done and off my plate.

“What a load..!
He LED them in that collective kneel..!”

True, but that was when it was just a protest.
Now it is costing him MONEY, and likely enough of it to make a real difference.

These people aren’t stupid, they see the Sales receipts from Parking, food sales, and NFL gear sales weekly, and the get the weekly check from NFL Networks, as well.

They let this crap get out of control by not putting a stop to it immediately. The NFL started getting political and pushing leftist social issue quite awhile before all this taking a knee shit started. It serves them right to have it backfire on them.
