I love it. This is my stage, and I choose who gets to perform. Wish more owners would take this stand.
I bet its the Rooneys in Pittsburgh.

“[R]egarding the National Anthem and the protests, the one quote that I was informed of was, ‘You’re going to stand on the line with your hand on your heart and you’re going to sing the national anthem because this is my stage,’” Baldwin said. The owner was not named.

I seriously doubt it's Rooney.

I personally do not care one way or the other about this whole kneeling thing. With that said, I don't understand the need to word it like that.
I can see an owner saying that he expects or wants all staff to stand, but to demand the players stand and sing is pretty brazen and seems like an easy way to ruffle some feathers. Especially when you do not have a legal land to stand on (CBA).
Jerry Jones? I mean it has to be Jerry right?

omg why are people still so worried about this

Jerry said something along those lines last week.

Lets face it, the owner is trying to act big and bad, but alot of it is just talk. If a player such as Tom Brady, Aaron Rogers, Antonio Brown, JJ Watt decide to protest. The owner would not do anything about it, except give him a slap on the wrist.

Will this be addressed in the next CBA?

It was Jerry Jones, no lie.
He said he would cut any player, coach trainer who didn't stand on the spot.

Saw this was attributed to Jerry Jones on some facebook post. I assumed it was made up.

Nothing says freedom like keeping them boys in line

What times we live in. Players are perceived as "cool" when voicing unpopular opinions. Owners are scared as shite to release their ID when voicing common sense.

sounds like JJ, he has the stones for this

Because what's more American than forcing your people to publicly worship the government. Right?
