Only one Cowboy who has knelt for the national anthem. However, Cowboys legend Emmitt Smith says that if he were still playing, there would be one more.

The NFL Hall-of-Famer told the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram that he would kneel because he too has been a victim of injustice.

Victim of injustice? Mr Millionaire? Was my grand grandma a victim because she had to have her babies at home and give hand me down clothes to her 4 kids? Nope, she never said a word and just tried to do her best in a new county leaving her family from Italy.

Emmitt should tattoo BLM on that massive forehead. His forehead was giant when he was in his 20’s, now it is approaching Lester Holt range.

Gee...if I gave a rat's hindquarters about the NFL I might think this is noteworthy. But I don't...so I don't.

When it comes to irrelevance, Mr. Smith is hard to top. Who gives a single (care) about what he would do? If he wants to do it so badly, he can do it in the privacy of his own home. Kneel, Mr. Smith, and shut the **** up.

What does he mean he would kneel? Why isn't he calling Jerry Jones and asking to be included in the kneeling line for the next game? You know, right after he donates his earnings to Colin Kaepernick and other "oppressed" people.

Injustice?! Did some ahole say something that hurt his fragile feelings? Get a grip, it happens to everyone.

The fool is living a charmed life, he should be one if the first to stand tall for our flag and all it has enabled him to enjoy.

Hey Emmitt, Class —-“Try and act like you’ve been there before”.

Self-preservation: He's thinking that if he didn't kneel, his linemen would just give the defense a free shot at him.

P.S. If Barry Sanders had been behind the Cowboy line of the 1990's, he'd have been a 2000 yard rusher every year.

Probably everyone has been subject of some injustice along the way - Put on your big boy pants.

Do Whites, Asians and Jewish people have to work harder and produce more to gain admissions and employment?

And to do so under the hypocrisy of what’s called “affirmative action” and “diversity”?

Oh yes. Lived in Michigan at the time and watched him play behind a mediocre Lions line. Might have gone for 3000 in Dallas.

Poor Emmitt had too many concussions. He’s not thinking clearly.
