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.

Right to protest does not apply in private sector workplace...

They can march and make speeches on their own time.

Owners should not be complicit in dissing the military—especially on GOLD-STAR-FAMILIES DAY, which was 9/24.

“The NFL has not aliened itself with BLM Anfifa and those who are tearing down historical statues.”

They took a knee against whites and America. What they did was racist.

Seems like a good solution.

They're still injecting politics into a football game. If I want to watch a sports game, I want to watch a sports game, not a bunch of overpaid people protesting...well, what exactly are they protesting again anyway?

Forget it; I don't care. I don't need to turn on the NFL for a dose of the perennial whiners -- I get a belly full of that every single day in real life.

“They just genuflected to BLM Hate America movement.”

Yes, they did. Completely ratified it, legitimized it.

I think his auto correct changed now to not. It makes more sense when I went back and read it again.

The Left infiltrated the Media, Hollywood and Academia. Sports was the last bastion we had, and now they have that.

This is the hill to die on.

They are protesting that police refuse to allow the ridiculous number of black criminals in this country to prey upon people freely.

Just keep digging you make yourself look more ignorant with every post. Check the scores from the inception to the 40s. They were so low you might believe it was talking about soccer games. High scoring came to be after the Bears and Sid Luckman adopted the T-formation.

No one’s paycheck is earned by injuries now or then, that is ludicrous. Not unexpected unfortunately.

I will not fight -- let alone die -- on this hill. The nerve of these people who make multi-millions per year! If they want to self-destruct, so be it.

I wouldn’t curl up and die if the league collapsed and was renaissanced by a true return to the founding rules of the game. You might, it seems.

That’s my point, when we withdraw our money, they will die.

I thought Jerry Jones was better than that. And now he has broken my perfect record — I am finally wrong about something!

HA! This is not going to satisfy the BLM thugs. Will probably make them more angry/nasty. No way are they going to accept this approach.

I’ll get my popcorn ready for BLM’s anger toward the Dallas Cowboys maneuver.
