Cowboys' Owner Jerry Jones: "Players Will Be Benched For Disrespecting The Flag"
No Cowboys players kneeled during the National Anthem before Sunday night’s 31-35 loss to the Green Bay Packers. But that didn’t stop Dallas Cowboy’s owner Jerry Jones from confirming what many have long suspected: he has informed his players that taking a knee during the anthem would lead to them being benched immediately, the New York Post reported.
“If there’s anything that is disrespectful to the flag, then we will not play,” Jones told reporters after the game.
