Will the Dallas Cowboys all Stand for the Flag?

Posted on 09/25/2017 2:21:45 PM PDT by GOP Congress

I am going to a local sports bar with my 82nd Airborne Division vet hat, and a tshirt that says "Stand and Deliver" with a picture of Dallas Cowboys standing in front of a background of the flag.

At this time I'm not watching any other NFL game.

HERE IS MY DECREE:

If all the Cowboys remain standing, I will remain a fan and watch their games.

If any Cowboy refuses to honor the flag, I will forever stay away from the Dallas Cowboys, and hence the rest of the NFL, UNLESS Jerry Jones fires him on the spot. But I will leave the bar with drink left on table. The game is not important at this point.

This is NOT about "the right to protest," at least to me. If you wish to protest, then I have the right to ignore you...and the rest of the league... forever.

If you want to use your platform to solve problems, don't piss off the very people you need to help solve such problems. Yes, racism is a problem, though it is more pronounced through socialist anti-family agendas, but I digress. This is not the point of this proclamation.

I speak for virtually every long-term Cowboy fan. I have never called it "America's Team," as that was a euphemism that was overly used; everybody has their own team that doesn't need the imprimatur of the entire country.

However, I now say it with sad irony, that Dallas will, indeed, be "America's Team" FOR REAL, if they are the only team left standing for the flag.

I am no big overall Trump fan (not enough conservative statesmanship that fail to deliver), but in this regard it is not about Trump. It is about our very soul of the country, for which it stands.

I repeat: Any Cowboy kneels, it is the death of my participation with the NFL, UNLESS Jerry Jones fires the malcontent. This is MY bar. This is MY "protest." This is MY "Conscious-raising moment."

God Bless America, and hopefully, Go 'Boys!

Except now he’s saying he embarrassed himself and “threw his team under the bus.”

Proof positive that even the mightiest can be nutless faggots when it comes to peer pressure.

LOL. That’s one way to put it! “Hey, nutless faggot! Stand up and put your damn hand over your heart!”

Landry could be trusted but Jones not so much. He'll cave. Just because they may be forced to stand doesn't mean they'll do so willingly or have their hands on their hearts.

Is this Jerry Jones?

You need just one more viewer for tonight’s game.

Not me dude.

Taking a knee or hiding in the locker room doesn’t help a single person.

The NFL needs to donate all tv revenue for this year to the NAACP.


that won’t help either. The NAACP is fanning the flames.

I’m afraid the Cowboys are going to disappoint us tonight.

I will be a lot more disappointed in Texas Fans, if they don't walk out in response.

It was a gift. I think from a Christian book store. A quick internet search turned up many. Some I like more than the one I’ve got. Time to order more.

Fuck you, NFL. I don't cuss often, and hate to do so in public, but this was called for. Go to hell, Jerry Jones. Go to hell, Cowboys. You are dead to me. I'm writing this in my care. Ten other guys left the bar as well, saying they are done. Most of them are longtime fans, not any more. Jerry Jones, you failed. Cowboys, you failed. I'm done.

As you can see, I’m using that as my new tag line.

Stole it fair and square.

I came back to this thread after I read what happened.

You don't need to apologize for your language. These leftist bastards -- and their cowardly enablers such as Jerry Jones -- have now destroyed football.

I'm with you and your friends. Roast in Hell, NFL!

I was really surprised at my visceral reaction when they did that kneeling thing. I thought I was going to be sick to my stomach. No more Cowboys at our house!! Or any other NFL. We’ll just watch TCU.

The NFL leadership itself is social justice / far left politics, but the Cowboys don’t seem to be as bad.
Some of the players had the decency to TRY to wear stuff in memory of the dead Dallas cops and 9/11/01.
Then again, Dallas was Democrat while Fort Worth was the only major metropolitan area to vote Republican. Mixed bag.

Jerry Jones also signed Michael Sam.
***********************
To the practice squad, after he failed for other teams, and then cut him loose.

Why are most of your postings regarding football so critical of the Cowboys?
