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

Posted on 10/08/2017 7:54:08 PM PDT by conservative98

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.”

He already knelt to show solidarity with the BLM supporting, cop hating, flag disrespecting crowd.

This isn’t something that can be fixed with a PR stunt and a tough sounding thing at a press conference.
This is in the zone of cop or congressman took a bribe, soldier sold secrets to the enemy, cook spits in the food, etc.

Some screw ups are so bad that you pay a bitter price, for a long time, maybe forever.

Nothing from the feckless, hugely overpaid Commissioner BadHell. Owners like Jerrah should enforce the rules but the worthless Commissioner let it fester into a monster. He deserves a ton of blame.

So he is threatening to forfeit next week’s game if any of his player “disrespect” the flag? I’ll believe it when I see it.

Aaron Rodgers has his own problems, but winning isn’t one of them.

Exactly! 2 weeks ago he and the team knelt before the anthem. Now this? Please. Go ahead and make excuses. Parents watched game. I played cards with nephew and ignored it. Told the folks you can’t complain about kneeling and continue to watch.

Now that it looks like they will be lucky to go 8-8, it’s a pretty safe threat for Jerry to make - cuz it won’t really matter who’s playing.

“But they can kneel and/or lock arms before and after the anthem?”

Thank you!

No; they can’t kneel, lock arms, etc., AT ALL. Enough with the showboating. Get off your frickin’ knees, for Pete’s sake. And “black power” fists in the air... are you KIDDING me?! No displays at all. Might as well go to every fan and give each one of ‘em the finger. Good grief; enough is enough.
