Hundreds of people rallied outside of AT&T Stadium on Sunday night to "show solidarity with NFL players who are taking a knee for justice," according to the Texas Organizing Project's release. Attendees wearing all black took a knee to support the movement in the NFL of players such as Colin Kaepernick, who have protested by taking a knee during the national anthem.

Probably. Seems neither the players or the commissioner for that matter seem to realize that their job is to fill the seats and keep the advertising dollars coming in. Ability to play is secondary. As the dollars dry up, down goes the salaries. Owners are not without blame either. If an employee of mine was alienating 50 percent of my customer base, he’d be looking elsewhere for employment real quick.

...BOYCOTT THE NFL!!!

I have not watched a game this year.

Although I am ashamed to admit that I was in a restaurant where they had a game on and I did not think to tell the management that I would not eat there if they showed NFL games.

Although I don't drink so my vote would have counted for much anyway. The bar was full of people who could not have told you if they were playing football or field hockey by the end of the third quarter.

After seeing so many NFL players disrespect the National Anthem I haven’t gone, watched or listened to single NFL game. Additionally, I get my Sports news from anything other than ESPN - that includes Internet, TV and radio broadcast. Good riddance NFL and ESPN.

If they were all there at the stadium, that means crime dropped dramatically elsewhere.

Hundreds protest in “solidarity”. Tens of thousands turned off the NFL. Media stories about “support” are designed to convince you, you are on the “wrong side” of this “issue”. This means the protest AGAINST the NFL is having its desired effect.

BLM is probably the group behind this if I had to guess

I would not be surprised if Social Justice Warrior/NFL Commissionaire Roger Goodell, was behind this stunt to get back at Jerry Jones.

Why would I say this? Did this happen at any other NFL game? Answer: No

“The level of stupidity and blind followings of these sheeples is just incredible beyond words just as you mentioned.”

And the unfortunate part is they vote.

“If an employee of mine was alienating 50 percent of my customer base, he’d be looking elsewhere for employment real quick.”

If you check in the players contacts that tie in with the NFLPA, you’ll see it is in there twice that they can not do anything that will alienate the fans by actions detrimental to their club. So the owners are just as guilty as they could do something to stop it. And they have the players over a barrel as the CFL will not hire a suspended or behavior released player in an agreement with the NFL.

All of them could stop it. But now they are in over their heads and will be paying the “price.” Being able to pay players has been a problem before in the NFL and the AFL. Clubs went bankrupt and closed the doors. We’ll see.

The only thing of value in that cabal of losers is the stoic statue of Tom Landry.


Why don’t they pull down the Tom Landry statue. That would put me in the fight-Giant fan.

I assume they are dressed in black because this is a funeral for the NFL.

And since they are outside the stadium they don’t buy tickets, don’t buy merch and don’t watch the games.
