People yucked up the stuff from the other week, but it was clear that it was all just a publicity stunt, and that the true message was lost. This makes that crystal clear, and leaves no doubt where the NFL truly stands 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see Jerry hold back Prescott or Elliott if they kneel. Or Snyder hold back someone like Trent Williams. Put them back on skates and put them on blast to the entire world. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Dak already said he not about that life i have no doubt they would stop a "special teams only" player from playing if they kneel gets a little harder if Josh Norman decides to kneel when he gets back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 This is a moment I definitely wish that someone like DeSean was still on this team, I could see him telling Snyder to **** off. I hope some of our current guys can stand up to this ant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. It's only impossible when its Aaron Rodgers, or Tom Brady, or Drew Brees.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 The other players that don't typically kneel should all kneel to defend and protect those that normally do kneel. They cant bench them all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 It would be nice to see enough players to kneel, call their bluff, see if they forfeit the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not watching today but i noticed last week. Doesn't matter. Nowadays cameras are everywhere, and so are people who want to highlight/make an example out of someone else, which is how all of this got started in the beginning.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Yeah but I'd hope this would be a rallying cry. Wait, you're going to try to bench one of our brothers that we need on the field because he is expressing himself? No, not today. But we know it won't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I do wonder how FOX feels about their people telling folks to stop watching the NFL. They already are in for billions over the next 5 years or so to the league for rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 It's gotta sit well (no pun) for the Cowboys players knowing that their viewed as a piece of property. I really hope one of the star players calls Jerry's bluff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why people struggle to understand that. Weren't we all cheering the people losing their jobs for marching in Charlottesville? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grego Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Trying to sort thru this, kind of thinking out loud. I support anyone's right to kneel whole heartedly. By that same logic, I support a team owners mandate that players he's paying must stand, and if a player chooses to not play by the rules of said owner, he is (or will be) free to play for another team who's owner has different rules (even if I can disagree with both stances, practically and logically, but not in terms of absolute 'rights'). Been a long day, so please let me know if and where I'm screwing this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really comparing folks losing a job due to supporting a white supremacy march and those protesting because they want racial EQUALITY? Jerry talking about the flag, but it literally has NOTHING to do with it. Not getting in this back and forth with you again, but you clearly don't get it. The fact that you tried to make that initial comparison is ridiculous on so many levels. Edited October 9, 2017 by RonArtest15 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. They are both protected under the 1st. 7 minutes ago, Mr. Sinister said: 1) who the **** said anything about not understanding that 2) do you see why we would applaud one and not the other 1). No one directly said it but some SEEM to struggle with it. 2). Absolutely. Do you agree that it is important to defend speech you don't agree with?

TradeTheBeal! Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 When you've been so deep in the GOP muck for so long that your natural reflex is to compare peaceful kneeling for equal rights to ARMED OPEN CARRY NAZI MARCHERS...repeatedly. The propangda is powerful. It just dominates so many minds. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
