That is explicitly against that supreme court ruling from 1943, what the fuck was that principal thinking?

Good thing a quiet, respectful protest isn't disrespecting the flag, then.
You know what is disrespectful to what the flag represents?
Threatening people with termination and penalties for engaging in peaceful activism.

Boycotting the NFL getting easier and easier. Thanks Jerry. I want nothing but losing seasons as long as he remains the owner.
Fuck the Cowboys and fuck the NFL.

Steph Curry before Steph Curry and he was blackballed for his politics
Today my dad was driving and I saw a bunch of people on the sidewalk of a busy street protesting abortion. About five blocks away I said now that's how they want people to protest and my dad who was driving said what people where.
I love how this is the first protest that is in the public eye and people are pissed.

Fuck Jerry, other NFL owners and some of these NFL players too. The true America is here and beating its chest.
Jerry is essentially saying dont care about you getting killed, you better understand your place. I dont know how I could play for him. These players are weak.
Some of it is that we're basically brain washed as children to love the flag, to never question it. I can cite the pledge of allegiance to this day and yet I haven't said it since I was a teen, because we had to do it every frakin morning, standing.
Then there is racism, which is probably most of it. They don't want to understand, they don't need to understand. So they just go with what they know. They'll never understand until the country goes to shit for them personally.

These players make millions of dollars once they sign, correct? Or is it doled out per game? Because if they have several million dollars how in the fuck are they not kneeling?

Fuck off Jerry. America was built on protesting. Fuck you I feel sorry for any player who has strong feelings about protesting but can't because of your pathetic stance.

If you say something enough it becomes true. Worst case the majority of people believe you, and that is even better than a thing being true.
That's the thing, we've gotten used to the street protestors of that type, picketers. It loses its effectiveness as a form of protest because everyone knows to tune them out as surely as they tune out panhandlers.
To make a statement people will pay attention to, you have to put it in something they're actually paying attention to.

A lot of resentment for Obama (and minorities in general) got mixed in with the pseudo patriotism and here we are. It's a non issue but here we are still stalking about it.
There is a reason the alt right can be trace to PUA and Chan sites and racist chant "you won't replace us" they feel pointless and to a certain degree they are
Yep. Yet another reason I'm glad I'm not into sports. It truly is modern day gladiator games.

So Bryant Gumble was right
NFL Owners treat their players like the good ole Plantation Days
"Don't you speak up now, boy!"
"Keep a movin'"
"We feed ya, take care of ya, give ya the living you get from us for working on the fields, no disrespect, ya hear!"

"They may be sons of bitches, but they are MY sons of bitches!"
Really does look like a slave owner there, especially with that smirk.

Cowboy local ratings have been declining around 3-5% each week since week 1. To lows not seen even when theyve been bad. Not that Jerry doesnt believe it anyways. But I do believe him saying it after the game is due to the lowering ratings and this is his attempt to stop the slide.

They know, they just figure they will be the authoritarians
Dude, white supremacist patriarchal theocracy (read: autocracy) has always been and will always be their overall goal, despite some of the Founders' intentions. Don't let them dilute that.
That's part of what the protests are about an exposing. America for minorities is not too far from being one. Especially if it's "submit to the flag and submit your lives to the state and pretend everything is okay."
It's like Exodus 20:3 isn't a thing anymore.

"I AM respecting the flag. Now YOU start doing it."
But what though? Shit, don't answer that; Son-Of-Orangutan is probably working the phones to every bendable ear in his rolodex to deflect from his administration imploding and Jones' respect and intellect dives into the negatives.
^^^
Alot of my fellow white folks feel that civil rights were "granted" and this has alot of us that don't respect themselves, don't respect others outside the demographic, and don't give others outside the demographic any reason to respect them then get resentful and bigoted (or get worse than they already were) now that in this decade. This takes place in a decade where that attitude can only survive by mutating into something much, much worse and blatant, sadly.

Glad to see Jerry took that mask of being a decent human for one night off and continues to show that he's still a despicable twat.
Fuck you Jerry, and fuck the Cowboys. I hope Dak, Zeke, Dez, Witten, and the entire offensive line kneels.

He's a starting QB who hasn't gotten a big contract yet. He's not going to piss his boss off.
They will be kneeling in their living rooms watching the games on tv

Divide and conquer man. Trump always has an agenda and we are the clowns falling for it. Page straight out of Hitlers book.

Yeah. Maybe Trump got sonething on him or made him a deal he couldnt pass on.
He kneeled alongside the team before the anthem, not during. Important distinction.

Jerry just guaranteed I always root against that piece of shit team until he is out.
