ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones
said emphatically that his players will stand for the national anthem and
not disrespect the flag, and if they do, the player or players will not
play.
"If there's anything that is disrespectful to the flag, then we will not play," Jones said after the Cowboys' 35-31 loss to the Green Bay Packers. "Understand? We will not ... if we are disrespecting the flag, then we
will not play. Period."
The topic was raised after Vice President Mike Pence left Sunday's game between the Indianapolis Colts and San Francisco 49ers after more than 20 Niners knelt during the national anthem with their hands over their
hearts, as was the case the previous week.
Pence tweeted a statement in which he said he would not dignify any event
that disrespects soldiers, the flag or the anthem.
NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith said in a
statement Monday that in meetings last week with team owners, commissioner Roger Goodell and Giants owner John Mara, the chairman of the NFL
management council, assured union leaders that they would "respect the Constitutional rights of our members without retribution." Smith also said that "no player is disrespecting our country or our flag" by protesting
during the national anthem.

At the Cowboys' Sept. 25 meeting with the Arizona Cardinals, Jones, his
sons Stephen and Jerry Jr. and daughter Charlotte Anderson joined the
team's players, coaches and staff on the field in taking a knee and
locking arms prior to the anthem. During the anthem, the Jones family
stood arm-in-arm with the players.
The gesture was in response to President Donald Trump's comments that NFL owners should fire players who disrespect the flag by not standing during
the national anthem.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Cowboys defensive ends Damontre
Moore and David Irving raised their fists at the end of the anthem before Sunday's game against the Packers. Jones was unaware of their actions when asked after the game.
"We as a team are very much on the page together," Jones said. "We made
our expression. I'm very supportive of the team, but under no
circumstances will the Dallas Cowboys -- I don't care what happens --
under no circumstances will we as an organization, coaches, players, not support and stand and recognize and honor the flag. Period."
Jones, one of seven NFL owners who donated to Trump's inaugural committee, spoke with the president after the Cowboys played the Cardinals. According
to Jones, Trump said the entire issue could have been avoided if the NFL enforced a rule stating that players must stand for the national anthem. However, that requirement is not included in the NFL's game operations
manual.
According to the manual, "During the National Anthem, players on the field
and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in
their left hand, and refrain from talking."
NFL players who have demonstrated during the national anthem over the past year have said that they are protesting police brutality and racism -- not
the flag or the anthem itself.
"If it comes between the impression or the perception that we're not
standing together, supporting each other or the perception that we're disrespecting the flag, the perception that we're not together will be secondary to not respecting the flag," Jones said. "Respecting the flag is first."

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
