Here's how Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals handled national anthem
San Diego Union Tribune ^ | 9/25/17 | Abby Hamblin

Posted on 09/25/2017 5:56:00 PM PDT by Jolla

Owner Jerry Jones joined his team in taking a knee. The Cowboys then stood up and linked arms for the national anthem.

The Dallas Cowboys all took knees on the field and the Arizona Cardinals linked arms across from them before their Monday Night Football game, a move that followed a closely-watched Sunday in which NFL teams and their owners rebuked President Donald Trump’s criticism of athletes protesting during the national anthem.

Jones, you are a freaking Marxist joke, undeserving of living in America.

“Trying have it both ways.

No dice.

America’s Team?

Ha”

Agreed. What makes it especially pathetic is the fact that Dallas was the city in which 5 police officers were ambushed and killed last year after BLM protests. Law enforcement should refuse to work any NFL event.

Goodell and the owners have turned the NFL into an object of derision.

Kaplan is just a minor player. This is much bigger than him.

I was so proud when in that first Sunday night game, not one of the Cowboys sat or knelt during the anthem, but now they have to pull this crap.

If some Freepers JUST have to watch the NFL I hope they at least find a nice illegal stream on the internet and buy some bootleg merchandise. Its the very least they can do.

You know, kneeling without disrespecting the Anthem and the flag doesn’t bother me.

That kneeling will turn to praying, and then the Left will despise it. You watch.

When NFL players prayed they tried not to cover it.

um.. I am confused at all the hate..

“During the national anthem, the Cowboys stood locked arm in arm but nobody took a knee or appeared to have any sign of silent protest.”

so they STOOD during the anthem ... wasn’t that the point? that they are free to protest, just not during the anthem?

>BACK WHEN FOOTBALL WAS BORN WE WHITE GUYS USED NO-KILL POLICIES ON THE FIELD AND REALLY QUEENS OF MARSBURY RULES.

Back when the game was white only, players died due to the flying V formation and the sport was almost banned by Teddy Roosevelt. Football has always been a rough sport.

I think it’s time for Christian football players to start praying during the national anthem. Put their palms together and close their eyes. It’s all free speech and right to make a statement right?

I’m driving liberals crazy by telling them Trump won. He said locking arms and standing ok. As soon as the PA announced said “please stand to honor America and National Anthem” they all stood up. LOL!

Trump is renting what little space is left in their heads.

Don’t get me wrong, I gave up the NFL Sunday at 0935 EST fter witnessing the London sh!tshow.
