Fat, stupid Sooners beats my Mildcats on Saturday. We hates `em Precious.

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.

At the moment professional football is only mostly dead, but just slightly alive, for now . . . but soon the cart will roll through “bring out your dead” . . . Jerry Jones will hear “the NFL is definitely deceased, gone to meet its maker, pushing up the daisies, an ex sports league” . . . and Dr. McCoy will give the final verdict: “it’s dead, Jim.”
Next year’s new series: The Walking Dead - NFL Edition. It’s a lot less scary than TWD, because kneeling zombies don’t frighten anyone. These former millionaire athletes will have to learn new lines: “Paper or plastic” or “would you like fries with that?”

Lol!
Go see David Irving if he raises his fist next Sunday. I bet he does not. That the facts of life will be explained to him.
I have seen a five billion dollar valuation on the Dallas Cowboys. Big big money is at stake.
Jones is in a situation HE CREATED and it will end up DIMINISHING himself and his power as an NFL team owner.
And guess what? Irving, and the rest of Jerry Jones’ Cowboys, played.Gosh, it's as if Jerry lied. Thanks Altura Ct.
When I first heard the story about Jerry Jones threatening the players if they did not act respectful while the national anthem played, I suspected it was fake news. This proves it.
