Jerry Jones: Cowboys will bench any player who 'disrespects' flag

Todd Archer
ESPN Staff Writer
October 9, 2017, 11:52 PM CT

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.

Dolphins owner Steve Ross now wants players to stand for anthem, coach Adam Gase makes it a rule

Chris Perkins
Sun Sentinel
October 8, 2017 8:25 p.m., Miama Gardens

Miami Dolphins owner Steve Ross, who had three players — wide receiver Kenny Stills, safety Michael Thomas and tight end Julius Thomas — kneel during the national anthem prior to last week’s game said Sunday he wished they would stand for the anthem. The trio ended up standing in the tunnel during the anthem and running onto the field afterward.

Coach Adam Gase implemented a policy Sunday requiring players to stand for the national anthem. Those who don’t wish to stand must stay in the locker room or in the tunnel.

Ross, who spoke about 90 minutes before the Dolphins’ 16-10 victory over Tennessee and the national anthem, said President Donald Trump has changed the focus of anthem conversation from social injustice issues to patriotism, so it’s better now for the players to stand.

“He’s changed that whole paradigm of what protest is,” Ross during his CommUnity Tailgate gathering at Hard Rock Stadium before Sunday’s home opener against Tennessee.

“And I think it’s incumbent upon the players today, because of how the public is looking at it, to really stand and really salute the flag.”

Did you see the Dolphins line coach in this new video where he's doing lines of cocaine?

He says, "I miss you. I miss you a lot. What do you think, crazy? No, babe. It's gonna be awhile before we can do this again, 'cuz I know you're gonna keep that baby. But I think about you when I do it. I think about how much I miss you. How high we get together, how much fun it was. So much fun."

So he knocked up some crack whore and he wants her to keep the baby? And then later after the baby is born, they can do coke together again?

We've got protests from both whites and blacks over this. I'm not sure what the middle ground is.

Maybe they could coax Hispanics to watch this instead of soccer by playing the Mexican national anthem before each game.

I'm not sure what the middle ground is.

There is no middle ground between standing and not standing. These are employees in the workplace acting in a manner detrimental to the employer and outside the bounds of cmmon decency set forth in 4 U.S.C. and 36 U.S.C.

Vikings Win But ‘Monday Night Football’ Ratings Hits Season Low

by Dominic Patten
Deadline
October 10, 2017 7:23am

[excerpt]

Snaring a 7.0 in metered market results, last night’s MNF was down double digits from last week’s Kansas Chiefs’ 29-20 victory over the Washington Redskins. Down 17% in the ratings, that’s actually a regular game season low for the ESPN broadcast game and matches the MM result of the second game of the doubleheader MNF opener on September 11.

That comes a day after Sunday Night Football also hit a season low with its ratings down too.

NFL Owners to Discuss Policy on Standing for Anthem

A league spokesman said owners will consider player input on the issue, but suggested that a rule change would not require player approval

By Matthew Futterman
Wall Street Journal
Oct. 10, 2017 12:35 p.m. ET

The National Football League’s owners will discuss at meetings next week whether to unilaterally change the league policy to require players to stand during the national anthem.

[snip]

If the players do not like it, they can go play in the CFL where they will be required to stand for O Canada.

Common Says Jerry Jones Has a ‘Slave Owner Mentality’

Annie Reuter
October 10, 2017 12:17 PM

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has gone on record saying that players who kneel in protest during the national anthem will not play. “If we are disrespecting the flag, then we won’t play. Period,” he said (via CBS Sports).

TMZ Sports’s cameras caught up with Common, who likens Jones’ ruling to a slave owner’s mentality.

“It’s an owner mentality,” Common tells TMZ Sports. “Like a slave owner mentality, to be honest. Like, ‘You gonna do what I say on this.'”

Common adds that no football player is disrespecting his job. Instead, he is simply saying this is where I want to place my body during the anthem.

[snip]

The employer will be telling the employee at work to act with common decency and to stop behaving in a manner detrimental to the employer.

And slaves did not get paid hundreds of millions of dollars to hold sit down strikes on the job.

You have to know this stuff gets litigated all the time. It all comes down to what some judge thinks it should be.

You have to know this stuff gets litigated all the time. It all comes down to what some judge thinks it should be.

And you have to know that there is no constitutional right for employees to hold political demonstrations in the workplace, on duty. As a court case, this would not survive a pre-trial motion.

This is a players' public relations case, not a legal case. They are losing there as well.

No player has a right to take the field. If the Patriots tell Tom Brady next week that he is sitting and Jimmy G is starting, that is how it will be.

Notably, Colin kaepernick has not attempted to sue anybody.
