Cowboys Owner Makes an Anthem Stand: ‘If We Are Disrespecting the Flag, Then We Won’t Play. Period’
Breitbart ^ | 8 Oct 2017 | Dylan Gwinn

Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones has had it with anthem protests. Just how tired of it is he? Tired enough that Jones has now publicly said that if his team doesn’t respect the flag, they’re not going to play.

Jones was asked by Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News, about two Cowboys players who raised their fists at the end of the anthem. Jones said he did not see the raised fists. But then, Jones made a definitive statement about how he wants to see his team to handle the anthem from now on.

According to Pro Football Talk, Jones said, “If there’s anything that is disrespectful to the flag, then we will not play. OK? Understand? If we are disrespecting the flag, then we won’t play. Period. Period.”

(((Muh Jerruh))) thinks he can have it both ways. Nope. Not on this.

He kneeled. He’s complicit. Again, f him and the rest of the enablers.

Some are highlighting the distinction that he kneeled BEFORE the anthem and not during it. To that I say, big whoop.

Men do not kneel except before God or Zod.

I’ve seen those posts.

They’re the ones who wear jerseys with other people’s name on them. No further explanation needed.

Never understood walking around with someone else’s name on your back. Or rock stars on your T-Shirt.

Just seems ... stupid.

I admire Jerry but what did he think they would do after the stunt the owners pulled a few weeks ago? They needed to quash this before it happened.

Its every man for himself now that the lifeboat sank. But its too late. The NFL is sinking and no amount of bailing can save it.

I only watch the Cowboys and that’s only because I have a friend who plays for them. He does not kneel and is very grateful to the fans, for the opportunity, etc. Very nice unassuming and patriotic guy. But that’s the only reason.

Already dead and buried. I haven’t watched an NFL game this year, and I won’t watch another. Ef em all.
