The Dallas Cowboys took a knee Monday prior to the national anthem, but stood for the performance with locked arms. The Arizona Cardinals did the same, joining a lengthy list of NFL athletes who protested in some form before Week 3 games after Donald Trump made divisive comments throughout the weekend.
Joining the Cowboys for the kneel prior to anthem — which drew boos from the Arizona crowd — were owner Jerry Jones and coach Jason Garrett.

AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

I do not want to thank PMP but I agree.
Either you support racism or you don't.
There is no middle road.
Seems to me, these teams and coaches don't want to upset racist whites by actually taking a knee.
I'd rather have no support than fake support like these owners are giving.
They rose before the Anthem, at least.
No longer America's team?
Our overweight, blustering, popular vote losing, man child of a president seems to be shooting blanks, and his blustering has backfired.
For some reason, I think if you took a poll over which was more popular - the NFL, or Donald J. Drumpf - surprisingly I think it would be the NFL in a landslide!
Players have leverage .. owners know that .. some of whom couldn't bend on one knew if their life depended on it.
I disagree. I welcome owners locking arms with players while allowing other players to take the knee if they wanted to.
I welcome the unified response to Trump.
Never let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Owners standing with players is a very good thing.

I'm gonna add to the joy, BAC.
"Several players from the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars either knelt or locked arms on their respective sidelines in solidarity and against the words of President Trump during the national anthem at Wembley Stadium. Included among them was Jags owner Shahid Khan, who locked arms with tight end Mercedes Lewis and linebacker Telvin Smith in an unprecedented show of unity with his team.
Khan was one of seven owners to donate $1 million to President Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities."

We can certainly agree to disagree.......we do it all the time:-)
In my opinion, they would all be on one knee like Colin started.
We already know a lot of these coaches support dump, that's why they won't take a knee. They will not, and can not, "disrespect" the American flag that is riddled with the blood of Blacks.......thus the reason for Colin's protest.
It begs the question, do they support Kapernick and his protest against institutional racism and brutality, or are they just pissed at dump because he said what they discuss behind closed doors?
I believe the latter.
