So tell us Jerry. When you took a knee were you saying a prayer for those five Dallas police officers that were murdered by the BLM lunatic? Have you insisted to Goodel that your team be allowed to wear a patch honoring those brave police officers. Or are you just another lowlife money grubbing hypocrite totally devoid of any real values or principles?

Jerry Jones is a businessman. He is also a coward.

He is a failed leader that has lost control of his company.

Yes, me too. That's why I've been re-posting it everywhere. Let them argue with that picture while they take a knee during the National Anthem. It needs to go viral with pictures of the kneeling players surrounding it. Someone could photo edit it that way.

When I first heard what they did (of course, I am not watching football now), I thought "there goes America's team."

But I've had time to think about it now. He actually got them to back down and not dishonor the flag and Anthem. Now, the needs to take the next step. He will get credit for having saved football.

Tom Basile, host of radio show “Sunday in America” summed it up fairly well;

“Roger Goodell and team owners are playing with fire. In an effort to pander to their own players’ politics, they’re insulting a broad cross-section of Americans who are sick of the politicization of everything. But perhaps more damaging for the NFL is that fact that they risk exposing a tax scheme that will further enrage fans and potentially jeopardize their entire business model. The last thing Goodell wants is people talking about the NFL’s tax-exempt status and taxpayer subsidies.”

the same group that killed those police officers in Dallas.

Check your facts. That march was peaceful until the end when ONE guy opened fire while DPD protected those marchers. One even took a bullet for one of them. That was not a group effort.

But ... do NOT take that as an endorsement of BLM. That's not my intent. Just make sure you use facts, not hyperbole.

Never imagined that Liberals would be big NFL Fans, but here we are.

I’m sure the NFL Franchise Owners are hoping that there are enough Antifa and BLM Members to offset the Patriotic Americans that will move on to another Sport.

Most fans will see it for the transparent capitulation it was. The kneeling before the anthem was the same as during. It was flipping us all off behind the palm of JJ’s hand.

This is the last hope I had — and the last knife.

The NFL is dead to me.

“Protests over racial inequality, centered on the national anthem, cropped up across the league on Sunday, following comments made by President Donald Trump on Friday night.”

Donald Trump was not the president when Colin Kaepernick protested.

Who wrote this?

If NFL Teams want to protest, they should do what the Cowboys did! Kneel before the Anthem but stand when the Anthem is playing
