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.
Kraft yesterday Jones today. That’s it for me. I really don’t care how this plays out in the NFL. Might as well be a big controversy on Dancing With the Stars. I don’t give a rat’s. Plenty of other things to do on Sunday.
Only he didn’t say it.
I’d almost made this suggestion. There’s just no need to disrespect the flag to highlight a cause. You can have a cause and be respectful at the same time, it’ll be far more effective.
For the locals tonight; there’s always the other cave artists...the Texas Rangers! :-)
Jerry Jones is a weak candy a$$. He’s all talk.
Just imagine the TV ads during the upcoming Super Bowl. My guess is you will see kneeling and similar acts to sell a product.
It’s kind of like fence sitting. What losers.
It’s time to separate the sheep from the goats with regard to “true Patriotic Americans.”
The only solution is to just let people watch a football game in peace without having a bunch of lefty SJW crap shoved down our throats.
The NFL has gone anti-American ,,,, let the boycott begin .
NFL joins with BLM and Antifa in an anti-American culture .
Not what Jones said on TV yesterday.
The NFL can go screw.
Trying have it both ways...???
Supporting the right to protest is an American or un American
Standing for National Anthem American or un American
“one or two jerks so we penalize the team”
Notice penalty. It is now entire teams.
They are all emotionally disturbed.
Tom Basile, host of radio show “Sunday in America” summed it up fairly well;
“Roger Goodell and team owners are playing with fire. In an effort to pander to their own players’ politics, they’re insulting a broad cross-section of Americans who are sick of the politicization of everything. But perhaps more damaging for the NFL is that fact that they risk exposing a tax scheme that will further enrage fans and potentially jeopardize their entire business model. The last thing Goodell wants is people talking about the NFL’s tax-exempt status and taxpayer subsidies.”

THey should have just let the the fools knee..the whole team makes them all protesters..this is going really bad for the
NFL ...
Not only am I not watching any NFL games, I’m giving serious consideration to taking my NFL-related hats, shirts and other paraphernalia and donating it to the local battered women’s shelter.
Perhaps some good can come out of a group of people that refuse to shun the thugs, rapists and even murderers among them.
