Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is now suddenly listening to the NFL.

Four days after seemingly defying the NFL and letting the world know about his team’s zero-tolerance policy regarding standing for the national anthem, Jones is now not talking about the issue because he has been told not to by the league.

Jones informed several local media televisions stations who had booked him for interviews on their Sunday night show from training camp in Oxnard, Calif., that questions about the national anthem and his team’s policy were not permitted because the NFL had told him to stop speaking on the matter.

Trump warned the NFL 18 months ago: Drop the flag protests. This issue is a big loser for you, and a big winner for me or any other politician who grabs on to it.

Seems the NFL is blind.

Exact same sort of institutional arrogance from their own self-imposed echo chamber that we see in Brennan, Strzok, etc...

So the a$$hole commissioner is in really a Commissar. A very rich Commissar, with a fully paid private jet. Wonder if the league has given him a dacha too? Stalin should have been so lucky. F*ck the NFL, anyone who watches it is anti-patriotic!

When Jerry Jones was talking about the issue he was mainly whining about Trump talking about it.

NFL and their BLM comrades want this to remain a campaign/election issue.

GREAT NEWS!

That's sort of the goal of Liberalism, isn't it?

******************

Lots of Americans have a zero-tolerance policy too for the disrespect and political nonsense in the NFL. And they are no longer watching.

This weekend here in Western PA, I attended a truck pull at a county fair (not my favorite activity, but oh, well).

Anyway, when it was time for the national anthem, everyone stood with their hands over there hearts, and cheered loudly when it was done.

No kneelers.

Makes zero difference to me.
I stopped NFL about half way through the pre-season last year, because of the anthem controversy.
Don’t plan on going back.

As I have given up on NFL and much prefer local events like this. Costs are low, people behave themselves, security doesn't look like seal-team six, there is no spectacle or BS, you can walk around with a beer, weather is nice, and there aren't endless advertisements.

Wonder what they will blame the lower ratings on this time?

Hmm... “It’s a freedom of speech issue - now shut up!” Right.
