ARLINGTON Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said any players in his organization who disrespect the flag during the national anthem will not play in games.
Jones is the first owner in the NFL to go on record about disciplining players who disrespect the flag during the national anthem. He didnt specify kneeling or raising fists in the arm or other gestures made by players around the league.
Jones made his strongest statements regarding the national anthem protests throughout the NFL after Sundays game against the Green Bay Packers.
If there is anything disrespecting the flag, then we will not play. Period, Jones said. Were going to respect the flag and Im going to create the perception of it.

What will hurt these kids is the same thing that hits every GI.
Think about it.
You’re an idiot, Puddles.
“Thanks NFL for the memories. RIP.”
I too have great memories.
Thank you Roger Staubach!!!
RIP nfl.
Standing arm in arm during the anthem is just as bad.
Well. If you remember Roger, you remember the Play by Play and all the Color.

>> Standing arm in arm during the anthem is just as bad.

Looks like they’ve seen a revenue drop and now are panicking a bit.
Liberals ruin everything.
We can’t watch movies without them sticking in politics and SJW
Same for award shows
Same for education
And now the NFL.
I don’t watch the NFL anymore.
I’m enjoying the NHL and a brand new hockey season rooting for the L.A. Kings. Hockey season goes from now until May.
So long NFL
“Youre an idiot, Puddles”
I am on a thread at #6 and you come on at #68 and you accuse me of trolling you!
C’mon Gene, tell FR what it is to sit on your ass and lock arms during a national televised event and claim solidarity while tributes to the military are active.
I dare ya.
Maybe America’s team owner has the answer.
Might be tough.
That was after the anthem. And when a reporter mentioned it to Jerry Jones, he still expressed concern, and reiterated that no disrespect of the flag would be tolerated.
Knee goes down for only 2 things, 1. Prayer 2. Godly proposal to unite in holy marriage.
> The timing of it was everything, Princess.
I'd made comment about you on another thread -- one where right after that you said I had been trolling you, even though what I was doing was talking about you to others, declining to extend the otherwise common courtesy of including yourself in the address to window.
Right about then, you come to this thread to obviously troll me (yet are acting all innocent-like) although I'd not posted any single things to you or about you on this thread.
It's that simple. I only explain this for benefit of others, so they'll know what you're like -- if they have not already noticed.
As usual, others are left with explaining what really happened, while you continue going from mess to mess that you keep making. Just almost everything you post and say has some kind of evil twist to it.
Learn that at a PD Academy did you -- or is that more one of those things many (but not all) officers pass to one another like a bad virus?
And Jerry wasn’t in the prayer closet.
To my knowledge, not a single Dallas Cowboy player has ever kneeled during the playing of the national anthem before any Dallas Cowboys football game.
There was the one meaningless group kneel before the national anthem last week in response to the President’s harsh comments, and that was itas, as I mentioned, it was before the anthem.
I hope more owners and coaches follow Jerry Jones’ lead here. Comments like this from an owner of a top tier team should be very helpful in refocusing players’ priorities.

Do you realize:
1- Their little demonstration of solidarity was a middle finger to the President, fans, military, and patriotic Americans in an attempt to support the players contention that police are killing black men for being black.
2- Nobody is concerned about the “players”being taught to “refocus their priorities”. The patriotic Americans are becoming aware of how many Americans hate their country, and hate “white” people, the flag, the anthem, and everything this country stands for, and giving up pro football is a small price to pay for standing up for their country.
“I’d made comment about you on another”
You made a trolling personnel attack to hijack the thread as you have a habit of doing.
“There was the one meaningless group kneel before the national anthem last week in response to the Presidents harsh comments, and that was itas, as I mentioned, it was before the anthem.”
Kneeling in unity with marxists is NOT meaningless ...
No quotes or italics.
Did not realize you were quoting sargon.
“Right about then, you come to this thread to obviously troll me “
Er, I was on this thread 62 posts before you came here.
I tend to agree, but the President himself, in a tweet, indicated that he thought otherwise...
