Earlier this month, Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones strongly asserted that his players would respect the flag or, “we will not play.” Well, on Sunday, Cowboys LB David Irving raised a fist during the anthem as the Cowboys got set to take on the 49ers. And guess what? Irving, and the rest of Jerry Jones’ Cowboys, played.
After saying that he hadn’t discussed Irving’s blatant act of insubordination with him, Jones sounded more much like a politician than an owner drawing a line in the sand. “But David can be a very important part of our team going forward,” Jones said. “Ever since he got back off his suspension he has made important plays. We need him out there. I am certainly pleased with any aspect of what he was about today, with his play or anything else.” “I am certainly pleased with any aspect of what he was about today, with his play or anything else.”
Really? Jones is pleased with Irving openly defying him? That is quite a far cry from the Jerry Jones of two weeks ago, who famously 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.”
If one required, for whatever reason, more proof of the NFL’s capitulation to its social justice jocks, these lines encapsulate it well. The owner of the richest franchise in all of the NFL, draws the hardest line any owner has ever drawn on the anthem protests. Then, two weeks later, an obscure defensive lineman defies him, and the tough-talking owner backs down.
If an owner like Jerry Jones, can’t stand up to an absolute nobody like David Irving, then the anti-protest movement in the NFL never had a chance.

Jones showed what coward he is after all. Scared of a bunch of babies only because of skin color.
The NFL is no longer welcome in my house.
Jerry Jones is a creep. His words are intended for public consumption but they are hollow.
Black Leagues Matter
One has been around for months
Roger Goodell has Jones’ back.
Who has Jones’ spine?
whats the difference between a raised fist and a nazi salute? It seems like the same deal to me.
Screw the Cowboys.....Go Stars!

That’s right.

These overpaid cretins really hate the United States and Americans. What losers.
Let the firings commence.
There are plenty of great, patriotic players to take their places.
Jerry is under the control of money. That is his god.
The NFL is dead.

Yeah; why not “the Replacements”? Bench all these dudes and bring in the farm team.
The league of “No Cajones Owners” spirals slowly down the toilet bowl. Be gone in a while. Like any other business run by pansies, pro football will slowly strangle itself to death.
The Dallas Cowtows are BLM’s team.
Still boycotting, and I see the NFL is still disrespecting...
