Yes, I am still wearing my Cowboys t shirts because:

1 - The Cowboys wanted to wear decals on their helmets honoring the 5 murdered Dallas cops. Naturally, bad-hell said no. Should have done it anyway and paid the fine. Link to that story below.

1 - This is from Snopes and I have seen the DMN story from which it was taken but there is a paywall for it.

“Although Jones didn’t actually deliver a fiery pre-game speech, he did say after the game that he was proud of his team for standing during the national anthem and disappointed in the players on other teams who didn’t:

“I got to give a big pat on the back to our entire team, our coaching staff, our entire organization,” Jones said. “We strongly, strongly support the flag. In every way, we support — it’s almost ridiculous to be saying it — the people that for generations and generations have given it all up so we can get out here and show off in front of millions of people on television. We respect that so much. That’s the real business.

“The forum of the NFL and the forum on television is a very significant thing. I’m for it being used in every way we can to support the great, great contributors in our society and that’s people that have supported America, the flag, and there’s no reason not to go all out right there. For anybody to use parts of that visibility to do otherwise is really disappointing.”
