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.
That will be impossible since next week is their bye week. I have been a Dallas fan since Roger Staubach days. I do not agree with everything Jerry has done since he purchased the team (such as firing the legendary Tom Landry and keeping an idiot like Jason Garrett as head coach), but, if more owners would take a stand against this foolishness, it would stop. I do not think that Jerry meant that he would keep the entire team from playing, but those who choose to make a***s of themselves should bear the consequences of their actions!
I expect he really means that any player who does not respect the flag will not play. If there are only 2 or 3 bad apples, then the team will take the field without them. And I expect that their pay will be docked. Of course, the union may have something else to say there, but I thought I had read there was an NFL rule that players must "stand respectfully". Even if the league doesn't enforce it, I bet their contracts say they must adhere to NFL rules.
I am still not watching the games...
