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.

Jerry did an “Obama” .... drew a red line, then turned into a wuss when a player openly defied him. The inmates are now officially running the asylum.
And that stupid picture of him kneeling with the “holier-than-thou” look on his face. LOL.
National Felony League. What do you expect. Drug dealers, murderers, wife beaters, robbers, thugs. Yup, there is your NFL. Goodell is a worthless democrat dirtbag.
Didn’t take long for that huge yellow streak to show up, even after all his tough talk. The man made it much worse for himself. He stood up and said “We won’t play.” And they did. Now the players know he stands for nothing.
Is it coincidence that Dallas has home attendance in the mid 90 thousands and no other team can come within 16,000 of that? Cities/markets bigger than Dallas have attendance of 50,000 and 60,000. Small markets like Green Bay have better attendance than the big markets.
This is not going to end well. It's like a slow motion train wreck in progress. Sad
is that a moth or a butterfly?
I’m willing to defer to anyone who knows better.
I thought it was a moth, but got sidetracked when I meant to verify it.
I’m not sure of the actual differences that reflect which it truly is.
Bluff called.
Check this out....Raiders vs Patriots.
The game in Mexico, which will be played on Sunday, November 19th at 4:25pm ET, is the fifth international game confirmed for 2017, adding to the four previously announced games in London, and a testament to the NFL’s increased commitment to growing the game beyond the borders of the United States.
“We have a tremendous fan base in Mexico,” Goodell said. “Their passion for football is inspiring.
Here’s our answer.
I had originally Googled “Butterfly”.
Knowing how Google responds with things unrelated most of the time, I still wasn’t sure.
The Wikipedia entry for butterflies has this photo on it’s page.
Evidently it is a butterfly.
Thanks for asking.

Jerry Jones is quickly proving himself to be the Barack Hussein Obama of the National Football League.
Actions, not words,Mr. Jones.
Actions, not words.
“d) Sell the Cowboys, buy a soccer team. Then cave.”
Soros?
I am a lineman for the Cowboys
With my fist in the air
Looking to Jerry Jones to see if he cares
And I’m playing every down now
And I ain’t missed one snap
And it looks like ol’ Jerry
Was just full of crap
Goodell and Colin, thanks to you as BLM/NFL useless idiots, you woke Americans up to the NFL scam on our tvs and in our tax payer stadiums. Your contribution to Americans will be remembered, like 8 years of Obama and H. Clintoon's campaigning gave us President Trump!
NFL = NEW FAR LEFT!
More NFL teams renamed: Oakland Traitors, Baltimore Cravens, Buffalo Bolsheviks, Green Bay Pinkos, Washington Red Guards, Los Angeles Chekists, Jacksonville Jacobins.
The Dallas Cowgirl Pussies!
Irving called his blue and Jerry folded like a tent, like a cheap suitcase. Didn’t even have a pair of deuces.
It’s time to shut the NFL down. Are there any true patriotic owners out there? The question to those who still claim to be “fans”. . .”Fans of what?”
The Slum Do Millionaires know Jerry is a punk with no balls and they don’t respect him.
Where’s that pile of sh** emoji? It’s better to keep your mouth shut, if your spine won’t back it up
The nfl, its "games", their "scores", the players are ALL totally irrelevant and utterly meaningless.
The nfl has become like the ancient gladiatorial games, the Circus Maximus; the famous gladiators and the charioteers of "renoun" from the ancient Romance Empire.
Their arenas are nothing but crumbling ruins and who can recall or name any of their "famous" gladiators or charioteers? The answer is no one! This is the fate that awaits the once "glorious" nfl:
Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear --
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.'
Percy Bysshe Shelley
This is the future that awaits the nfl, and they destroyed it all with their own hands!
ALL THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY, THAT IS ALL!
They literally strangled to death their fan base "goose that laid all of their billion dollar nfl solid gold eggs" with their own hands. The goose is permanently dead and they killed it! Now, all too late they want to put Humpty Dumpy back together again and resurrect the goose from the dead.
This is rich, the National Felon League chose to side and kneel with hate America, only blm, sjw, hate whitey, communist anarchists over America and their own nfl fan base and now their fan base has been totally alienated and the very monsters they willingly aligned themselves with have turned on them and are now eating them alive.
All too late the nfl has awoken to the reality that the entire league, has an INCURABLE CASE OF SELF INFLICTED FINANCIAL EBOLA and is hemorrhaging money out of every conceivable orafice to the tune of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A WEEK with no way out and no end in sight.
The once financially lucrative nfl is circling the toilet bowl into obscurity and is quickly becoming totally irrelevant and financially worthless.
We choose to STAND with Americans for America; we choose love of country, we choose patriotism, we choose to "Live Free or Die", rather than "huddle up", "bend the knee" and subjugate ourselves, our families, and our beloved nation to the black racist, socialist, sjw, PC tyranny and perverted ideology of the National Felon League.
They want us to compromise our patriotism, our love of country, flag and nation and symbolically join the NFL in show of rebellious "unity" but "What fellowship does light have with darkness, good with evil (and subjugation for the sake of 'unity')?"
The answer is a resounding NOTHING! We can have no "unity" with those who hate our nation, its flag, its values and with those who despise us.
The anti-American National Felon League has, to quote Admiral Yamato: "awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve".
We are at war; the NFL started this cultural war against US, against America and they are attacking EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR, BELIEVE IN AND HOLD NEAR AND DEAR.
Like WWII, there can not be any, truce, or "compromise" for the sake of their false notion of "unity", no "cessation of hostilities" with the nfl and those who have made themselves our enemies with out a cause.
We Americans who love our county more than any game have now taken up the fight forced upon us by the nfl and like "the greatest generation" we too will settle for only one outcome: NOTHING LESS THAT THEIR TOTAL SURRENDER!
