No; he’s feckless and goes whichever way the wind blows. If he had an ounce of character, and truly believed what he’s saying now, there would be no pictures of him kneeling in a little powder blue jacket. Ever.

"...Jerry...is one of the good guys on this..."

I respectfully disagree. He is part of the problem. He now scrambles to protect his revenue stream, is all.

I hope he ends up living in a van, down by the river.

Meanwhile....

They did it on foreign soil. Again.

Why we're protesting during the US national anthem at American Football games

But he linked arms with the players and took a knee a fornight [sic] ago.

Not during the anthem he didn't.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says anthem protests are damaging the NFL

Coach Jones! Let me tell ya something, we have quit watching the NFL forever!!!

It is way too late to apologize about taking a knee during our National Anthem. We revere the National Anthem in our home and we will never watch another NFL game until Hell freezes over.

The present NFL is loaded with a bunch of very Highly Paid brats and crybabies. Why do I want to see their behavior on my Television and hear I am at home trying to teach my kids about respect for our flag and what patriotism means to us and all of the sacrifices that have been made on our behalf thru our Flag. No sir, we do not take kindly to the apparent disrespect these players have for our flag.

"How do u like them apples, Coach Jones!"

He took a knee after stating that he was against it. He’s not a good guy.

Lets not go crazy, the CFL isn’t an alternative to the NFL.

Wow... nobody believes felons, domestic abusers, druggies, and commies were bowing in prayer. Gimme a break.

He should have known better. It was already causing much controversy and long after Kaepernick started the thing. He tried to change but the damage was done.

Yeah, I do know.

Or even worse for the owners, wait until a few more of them
want John Q. Public to purchase them a new stadium with their
taz dollars.
