Nope. Jerry, you've already been caught kneeling. You've shown your true colors, not that we haven't known for all these years. Never did like you. Landry must be rolling in his grave.
This will lead to more social justice signaling which will lead to even more fan antipathy.
NFL, you’re screwed.

Don’t care. Done with them forever.
Yeah that was always there.Nothing has changed.Plus it has no teeth - “may” means spineless NFL.
And?
you planted a bitter seed, the equally bitter harvest is at hand. You did it to yourselves and only NFL personnel are to blame for this.
Spit on your fans, and your fans will spit right back at you.
you all can go back to being street corner thugs for all I care.
Oh
Blah blah bla
It is the flag.
Deal with the consequences
Doesn’t say anything about their hand over the their heart and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
Could be stronger in my estimation.....or is this too little, too late?
The NFL has another huge issue growing. They are not issuing penalties for thugs refusing to be present on the field during the anthem. How do they intend to penalize players for other infractions? When you don’t enforce rules uniformly, anarchy and anger will follow. Wait until the next time they try to punish someone for wearing 911 cleats. In fact, Jerry Jones wants to get back on America’s good side? Stick that cop memorial sticker on the helmets and dare Goodell to do something about it.
If the situation had stayed the same, I have no doubt there would have been severe repercussions, but I am convinced that many fans will adopt a more forgiving attitude, now that the league has seen the error of its ways in indulging these spoiled millionaire players' temper tantrums.
After all, I seriously doubt that any NFL fans—current or former—really want to see the Left win by destroying the NFL.
So let the chips fall where they may, but I say again that the NFL isn't likely to just dry up and blow away like some here are smugly predicting.
Americans are a forgiving lot, and any contrition that is expressed will likely go a long way towards preserving the league for a few more years yet...
Now they are nuancing and parsing and hair-splitting.
Kneeling before or after the anthem is not technically disrespecting the flag, but it is a protest [of what, then?].
Linking arms during the anthem, but not putting one’s hand over one’s heart, is technically a show of unity but that behavior shows no respect for the flag.
Raising a power salute [or Nazi salute or any other salute] while standing for the anthem is apparently not a form of disrespect any more.
That is how complications arise when they try to appease everyone.
The nfl has awoken to the reality that the ENTIRE LEAGUE, has an INCURABLE CASE OF SELF INFLICTED FINANCIAL EBOLA and is literally hemorrhaging money out of every conceivable orafice to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a week with no way out and no end in sight.
The once financially lucrative nfl is circling the toilet bowl of obscurity and is quickly becoming totally irrelevant and utterly worthless.
We choose to STAND with Americans for America; we choose to "Live Free or Die", rather than "huddle up", "bend the knee" and subjugate ourselves, our families, and our beloved nation to the racist, socialist, PC tyranny and perverted ideology of the National Felon League.
Don'the be deceived by this ploy ALL THE nfl REALLY LOVES AND CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY, THAT IS ALL!
The godless, anti-American, anti-Christian (Tim Tebow) black racist (ONLY Black Lives Matter), sjw, leftist National Felon League literally strangled to death their fan base "goose that laid all of their billion dollar nfl solid gold eggs" with their own hands. The goose is PERMANENTLY DEAD and THEY KILLED IT! Now, all too late they want to put Humpty Dumpy back together again and resurrect the goose from the dead.
I STILL have seen nothing about ‘hand over heart’
You don’t get the change or leave off anything other than the traditional way.
Anything else is still a slap in the face...
Coach is parsing words very carefully...
Bookmark for later.
Too little, too late.
Hey nfl, you can take your 80 percent thug unappreciative negros and go to hell.
Not going to watch your millionaires slam my country.
It’s called a slippery slope for a reason. Now if the League suddenly announced that one of their linemen had found a cure for all forms of cancer they MIGHT be able to reverse course. Mealy mouth announcements are way to little, too late.
I thought these owners were hard nose businessmen.
They are a bunch of pansies.
The proof is that Roger Goodell has not been fired by now.
I guess they will wait until the value of their franchises goes to zero.
