ARLINGTON Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said any players in his organization who disrespect the flag during the national anthem will not play in games.

Jones is the first owner in the NFL to go on record about disciplining players who disrespect the flag during the national anthem. He didn’t specify kneeling or raising fists in the arm or other gestures made by players around the league.

Jones made his strongest statements regarding the national anthem protests throughout the NFL after Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers.

“If there is anything disrespecting the flag, then we will not play. Period,” Jones said. “We’re going to respect the flag and I’m going to create the perception of it.”

“I had to just say it.”


Of course you did, and we have one man to thank for instigating all of this chaos.

One.

Haha. Now you come here to troll, is it?

As for my own part, I came across your comments elsewhere while scanning comments. That is all.

You just happened to be there being your usual self.

Why tell me, Princess? Is there a pea under your mattress? Take your problem with Jones, to Jones.

It is well known here and all of my circles.

We have no way to turn that back. It’s gonna get ugly.

I hope I’m wrong.

I see your posts and admire your tenacity. You have the strength of a young boy out on the lake.

(I use that on purpose as my time alone on the TN river in a 12ft jonboat)

The NFL is a PARIAH!
The “Fans” are lancing this boil
Before Our Eyes
And it’s Ugly
And it Hurts
And it Stinks!

These American Hating Thugs will wish they’d kept Quiet.
And I love It!

This is not a good thing.

It is more apparent it is necessary.

We didn’t want to leave our NFL, they left us.

If the NFL is sincere about winning fans back, then the first step is Goodell resigning.

Your mind is out on the river breaking the current.

Sometimes you row pretty hard and sometimes you wait to see where the current carries you.

I pay attention. You are awesome!

I think the back has been broken. They did to much to rebel against Trump and it just showed their weakness.

My pleasure, and thanks for the kind remarks and additional information. It’ll also bite the network nitwits (netwits?) in the ass — I suspect a bunch of contracts will just be up at the end of the NFL broadcast season.

This jackass is paying more attention to the dollars he’s losing than the lives lost to protect his greedy, depraved ass.

GTH, JJ.

I have not seen you for awhile. I took a trip to Hatteras a couple weeks ago and Maria promptly took me off.

That was not good as I had 6 families out there.

Check it out if you can. The new sandbar has locked up with the mainland and people are having a great time.
