I am going to watch the pre-game to see what Jerry does if his players start taking a knee. He already stated he will fire them if they don't stand for the anthem.

it's going to be something to watch, because another day of this national TV coverage is only going to motivate some players tomorrow night to make another statement during prime time.

ah, if only we had Howard Cosell tomorrow night I'd be fired up. His era calling Monday night games was special. I will treasure those memories. Dang I think I just realized how I used to love the NFL and now? I just don't care..not since the Oilers moved to Tennessee.

Well, it's Jerry Jones, so we know damn well it's bullshite. He has a history of placating star players. He's not sitting/firing Elliot, Prescott, or Bryant if any of them kneel.

Why wouldn't they? Jerry has no leverage. They know he's not going to sit them, and even by some small chance if he would, they'd just sick the union on him.

What can the union do. He is the only if he wants bench a player or cut them he can.

I was watching when he said that about Alvin Garrett.

Cosell could be an a-hole but there was nothing racial about the comment. Still, you could've heard a pin drop in the booth after he said it.

Look at the Brady and Elliot suspension situations from last season and this season. The union has immense power when it comes to player disciple.

I don't think he ever straight up said it. He did say he thought disrespecting the flag has no place in football.

“I do not think the place to express yourself in society is as we recognize the American flag,” Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told FOX Business’ Cheryl Casone last week at a gala celebrating the 100-year anniversary of Forbes magazine. “So that’s not the place to do anything other than honor the flag and everybody that’s given up a little bit for it."

There were rumors at the beginning of the preseason that he threatened the entire locker room, but every Cowboys player that has been asked has publicly denied it.

The players are his employees, so he has the ability to curb their free speech. Not much the union or NFL can do.

Get ready to be disappointed. And if he does "fire" them or bench them, he loses.

His talent will be immediately picked up and then he'll be playing against them w a shittier team. He benches them they get his money, they go play somewhere else w another year of their career ahead of them. Oh and he has to play against them, w a shittier team.

He won't do shite. Hate to break it to you.
