The Cowboys have knelt for the last time this season.

So what discipline are they taking for their prior actions?? Do they think people will just forget?

I hope the fans keep right on making their statement and boycott the NFL.

Someone here on FR said after the Dallas kneel, that they hadn’t seen so many Texans on their knees since Brokeback Mountain.

Whoever it was, I salute you.

I propose that after this Sunday we stop talking about the NFL, period. Even mentioning them gives them publicity. Just pretend they don’t exist.

They’re definitely not America’s Team now. No NFL team is.

Will we always wonder now if a team is throwing a game in order
to make a political statement?

They played chicken with an oncoming 18 wheeler named President Donald Trump and the American people.

Cowboys swerved first.

Sounds like the NFL Moms had some good talkin'-to wid da kidz. Escalades and fancy condos were at risk, and mommas not gonna put up wid dat.

NFL moms ask Trump to stop ‘divisive language’ in open letter

They are the Megyn Kelly of football. They go whichever way the wind blows. And they blow. They’re no longer my team, until Jerry Jones makes an abject apology to the fans (he’d be amazed how forgiving we are, but it will never happen), or he expires and they’re under new management.

These guys are motivate by big money more than anything. I don’t think they would give up the big bucks throwing games would entail.

You thinking that they would be sticking it to the owners by doing that?
