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 like how Jerry has helped make the NFL as popular as isis

[missthethunder]

What Trump said has not and did not
affect me.... jerry chose poorly

Again to repeat…

How the Cowboys justify first whining for the loss of their FIVE DEAD COPS in downtown Dallas, shot down in a BLM Protest, and then turn around and take a knee for BLM, I’m sure I don’t know. Morally sickening to see the hypocrisy.

Jones supports cop killers. It’s that simple.

Jerry lost me when he brought in Greg Hardy.

We’re seeing frequent stories about kids defying the Anthem. I suppose Goodell could have prevented this. Evidently, the owners also failed. But we shouldn’t be relying on these elitist jackwagons to manage the respect the Country’s heroes deserve.

I dare everyone to turn their attention to the few major corporations attempting to control the Country’s morality.

[datricker]

Kneeling is the NFL’s new coke. Leaves a bad taste in your mouth before during and after the national anthem. God the players look like such stupid cowards and the owners....

[bray]

Too late for BLM’s Cowtows.

  NFL = National Football League

NFL = National Felon League

Youtube:    Pittsburgh fan, viral  "Done with NFL,  3:18

"............... Pittsburgh Steelers fan—who said his name is Robert L. Williams, a master electrician from Texas, said he’s “done with the NFL.”

He took out “a $450 leather jacket” with the Steelers logo on the back. “Watch me burn it,” Williams stated. He also took out his hats and sweaters.

“My great uncle’s bones are lying in the bones of Pearl Harbor,” Williams added. “You do not disrespect the flag and the country, and the Constitution, and why we have our freedoms,” he said. “So watch this stuff burn.”?.............

 Worth repeating online message:

When my president lied to me and claimed 4 of my comrades were murdered because of a video insulting Muslims...I didn't take a knee.

When my president shipped pallets of cash to my sworn enemy...I didn't take a knee.

When my president failed to identify Muslims as terrorists and Islam as an enemy of the state...I didn't take a knee.

When my president claimed that a man who tried to kill another man who lawfully defended himself could be his son...I didn't take a knee.

When my president defended a thug who bum rushed law enforcement...I didn't take a knee.

When my president ordered businesses to spend unnecessary funds to appease a minority of people who need mental intervention far more than they need their own toilet...I didn't take a knee.

When my president ordered that words 'one nation under God' be removed from the pledge of allegiance...I didn't take a knee.

When my president lied to me and said I could keep my doctors and my premiums would go down...I didn't take a knee.

When my president spent my tax dollars in foreign lands to interfere in their elections...I didn't take a knee.

While my president sat by passively and enabled ISIS to emerge as a stronger force dedicated to spreading Islamic ideals by committing murder, rape and torture...I didn't take a knee.

When my president allowed dictators and murderers to violate his red lines and continue to murder women and children with chemical gas...I didn't take a knee.

When my president chastised law enforcement for their actions but ignored the violence in our streets...I didn't take a knee.

When my president identified the weather as the greatest threat to America's safety while Muslims worldwide are murdering innocent people...I didn't take a knee.

While my president's insistence that pacifism and reform in numerous areas of the globe would bring peace but instead led to the strengthening of those that seek to destroy us...I didn't take a knee.

When the election of my president broke barriers never thought possible in America ended up being the high point of his eight years in office...I didn't take a knee.

In all that time I never disrespected our Country, our Armed Forces and Veterans, or our Nation. I remained vigilant. And I got a new president...... #maga

Don't be deceived, by Jerry Jones ploy to try and win you back.

Never forget, the entire Dallas Cowerers protested enmass as a team including Jerry Jones locked arm in arm and "bent the knee" in protest of the United States of America.

Basically Jones has awoken to the reality that his team, the Dallas Cowgirls has an incurable case of financial ebola and is hemorrhaging money out of every conceivable orafice to the tune of millions upon millions of dollars a week with no way out and no end in sight. Jerry's once financially lucrative, team is circling the toilet bowl and is quickly becoming worthless so in desperation he is trying this new tactic/ploy =

"'Trust me'; don't believe our whole teams actions or your lying eyes: we really are 'patriots'; if we weren't I wouldn't let our team play." ...Right, and we're all morons who are supposed to have collective historical amnesia. Jerry Jones statement reeks of desperation. It is both duplicitious and calculated for the sole purpose of duping former fans for the sloe purpose of regaining lost revenue. Jones and the Dallas Cowerers don't love America, they love MONEY. That is all they care about.

His message is simple: "Redefine your definition of 'patriotism', rejoin us, compromise and reject America, patriotism, everything you believe in and everything America stands for, 'bend the knee' and join the Dallas Cowgirls and the nfl (no longer worthy of caps)" in our open anti-American, black racist 'ONLY BLM', PC pink communist rebellion."

Whatever you do, don't be deceived by Jerry Jones' twisted ploy.

The nfl and duplicitous, evil, Marxist nfl owners like Jones, and Kraft and the players want us to compromise our principles and values and side with them and the NFL in their open rebellion and "symbolically join them" in their hatefilled, rebellious, PC, racist "ONLY Black Lives Matter", anti-American "unity" against our flag, our nation, our anthem, our military, our police our traditional American values for money to make them rich! That is their ultimate goal:

"Come on, join us 'patriots'... link arms and admit you are in reality all a bunch of white supremicist racist, nazi, bigots. Openly confess and demonstrate repentence of your 'sins' and conform to our socialist agenda by linking arms with us in socialist unity."

What is left unsaid: "Those fans who defy our 'request' and do not comply with our 'unity' rebellion will be shunned, targeted and later rounded up and sent to 'reeduction camps'."

This so reminiscent of the Nazi salute in 1939ff: those "bad Germans" who did not "comply", join in and perform the Nazi salute were targeted, persecuted and killed.

Jerry Jones, Bob Kraft and the nfl want us to compromise our patriotism, our love of country, flag and nation and symbolically join the NFL in show of rebellious "unity" BUT, "What fellowship does light have with darkness, good with evil (and subjugation for the sake of 'unity')?"

The answer is a resounding NOTHING! We can have no "unity" with those who hate our nation, its flag, its values and with those who despise us.

The anti-American Dallas Cowerers, the New England Turncoat and the entire National Felon League has, to quote Admiral Yamato: "awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve".

We are at war; the NFL started this cultural war against US, against America and they are attacking EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR, BELIEVE IN AND HOLD NEAR AND DEAR.

Like WWII, there can not be any, truce, or "compromise" for the sake of their false notion of "unity", no "cessation of hostilities" with those who have made themselves our enemies with out a cause.

We Americans who love our county more than any game have now taken up the fight forced upon us and like "the greatest generation" we too will settle for only one outcome: NOTHING LESS THAT THEIR TOTAL SURRENDER!

We choose to STAND; we choose to "Live Free or Die", rather than ""huddle up", "bend the knee" and subjugate ourselves, our families, and our beloved nation to the racist, socialist, PC tyranny and perverted ideology of the Dallas Cowgirls and the National Felon League.

Er, I was on this thread 62 posts before you came here.

That makes no difference at all. Are you truly so stupid that you would think that it did?

Ok, I give up. You've convinced me that you are.

[dfwgator]

Jones talks about the Cowboys having “character” then immediately brings in Greg Hardy and coddles Ezekiel Elliott.

[srmorton]

Jones supports cop killers. It’s that simple.

That statement is a little over the top! The Cowboys wanted to wear a tribute to the policemen killed in Dallas and were not permitted to do so by Roger Godell and the NFL's rules concerning uniforms. Of course, if the NFL wants them to make a statement showing how concerned they are about women's issues such as breast cancer, that is perfectly fine!

[sfl109415]

That line of grown men kneeling and holding hands was pretty gay. I laugh every time I see that. Don’t really care because I’ve been boycotting these anti-american thugs for a couple of decades. I am so glad to see such a large number of people now joining my boycott. But bottom line is that the Donald is winning this war. I’m glad he keeps jabbing them with a tweet every time it looks like it might be dying down. I love it and I sure love my President. MAGA

[octex]

Didn’t he disrespect the flag?
*****************************************
Has everyone here forgotten and that kneeling thing by the Cowboys a week ago was just a show of unity and BEFORE the anthem. They all stood for the anthem!

Why not trash talk the owners and coaches who permit their players to show their disrespect for the country?

[octex]

Thumbs up!

In my later post here, I also pointed out that the kneeling by the Cowboys was NOT during the anthem.

Seems many folks just see a photo and then assume wrongly that it’s during the anthem.

[nickcarraway]

I don’t see the distinction.

[miniTAX]

“They all stood for the anthem!”

With linked arms, to avoid putting hand on the heart.
Disrepectful hypocrits.

[dfwgator]

Does it really matter?

[octex]

Hockey season goes from now until May.
***************************************
Definitely beats watching NBA or NCAA basketball, where they call fouls about every 20 seconds and the last 2-3 minutes (that take 15-20 minutes to play) determine the winner!

[octex]

I like how Jerry has helped make the NFL as popular as it is
******************************************
And, he paid for AT&T Stadium with his own $$; the taxpayers only paid for some infrastructure in the area. That has led to many restaurants, hotels and shopping areas which have benefited the city greatly.

The Dallas Cowboys franchise is ranked as the #1 wealthiest/most valuable sports franchise in the world.

[octex]

...”bent the knee” in protest of the United States of America.
**************************************
Disagree. The Cowboys knelt BEFORE the anthem to show that regardless of their personal opinions on things, they were united as a TEAM. They all stood for the anthem.

No Cowboys have knelt during the anthem.

Why don’t you and others here on FR direct your vitriolic rhetoric toward the NFL teams that continue to kneel in support of the BLM and other leftist factions?
