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 didnt 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 Sundays game against the Green Bay Packers.
If there is anything disrespecting the flag, then we will not play. Period, Jones said. Were going to respect the flag and Im going to create the perception of it.

Too late Jerry. You kneeled in solidarity with BLM.
Some screw-ups you only get to make once. Cheat on your spouse, soldier sells secrets to the enemy, a cop takes a bribe, cook spits in customers food.
None of those can be fixed with a sincere apology and then everything is ok again, and you just move on. Some screw-ups you only get to make once. Fair, unfair, that’s just how it is.
Oh ...
That makes it a horse of a different...
Jones caved to pressure from the media and the malcontents on his roster two weeks ago. Today he’s singing a different tune — probably because the whole thing has turned into a disaster for the entire NFL, while his own team is 0-2 since that Monday night game with the oh-so-gay kneeling charade before the national anthem.
Profound effect on the Teams and Players..
The FANS STILL DESPISE THEM!
Its true they did not kneel during the anthem. They did show solidarity with those who did kneel and by default the hands up don’t shoot crowd. Straddling the fence at best. Disrespecting the country while trying to save face at worst!
“There was the one meaningless group kneel before the national anthem”
It wasn’t meaningless. It was a finger to Trump who said the BLM protesters should be fired. Jerry and his players knelt in solidarity to BLM, cop hate, Trump hate, and flag & America hate.
Kapernik said he was kneeling to not show support to a racist nation.
Rove’s comments...
Thanks I’d forgotten That!
Winning!
Dallas. Americas Team.
It's DONE, guys! You totally and completely blew it 100%. There was a time when you could have gotten containment on this -- LAST YEAR. But instead, you decided at best, ignore what was going on, at worst ENCOURAGE what was going on.
Years from now, the NFL will be a business case of how NOT to do things.
Exactly. Wait, he’s an old man and needs time to get off that one knee.
What a piece of work.
Just wait until those mortgages are due.
CORRECTION NEEDED: Nothing like shutting the barn door after the NFL Asses got out.
YES!!
They were surprised they were doing the French Mistake !
Ive boycotted so long that I no longer care. Ive found better things to do with my time. I will never watch an nfl game again.
It’s bad luck to claim WE’RE WINNING~
but, it does look like the wind has changed and is now at our back.
Take a Knee Jerry...
To the GROIN!
That's a stretch.
” surprised its not more. Of course some people would watch the NFL if 100% of the players were convicted murderers.”
I would say 80% spousal abuse over murderer. Its the end for the NFL, they are about as popular as professional leapfrog, or professional underwater basket weaving right now. IMHO those superstars should have stayed awake in class rather than ride a sports scholorship. Just as the Neanderthal, their time is over.
Quick question, if anyone knows. Is this the pink month for breast cancer? Are they doing that still? As a female, I would love to know when they wear blue for prostate cancer. Maybe I missed that.
