Support NeoGAF

[Cat Party]

I don't get it.

So he kneeled before but is flip flopping now on the subject?

They kneeled before the anthem. Making the gesture entirely meaningless.

 

[watershed]

Old rich white guy doesn't support protests against the status quo of oppression and injustice for POC. Now Cowboys players can go to work everyday knowing full well that the person who signs their check doesn't give a shit about them aside from their ability to play on the field.

 

[JaggedSac]

Wait, when did the flag come into the picture?

 

[wumster3000]

Is there any black owners in the 4 major sports?

Jordan. Derek Jeeter is half. You have two More minority owners in the Sacramento Kings owner and the Jacksonville Jaguars owner. There are a lot of Jewish owners.

 

[Bowler]

Bottom line really is that they are his employees, you gotta do what the employer says if it's within the labor department laws.

Meh

 

[timetokill]

He's a starting QB who hasn't gotten a big contract yet. He's not going to piss his boss off.

In a league where half the teams are desperate for a good starting QB...

Is there any black owners in the 4 major sports?

Magic Johnson is part owner of the Dodgers

 

[Mister Wolf]

That is explicitly against that supreme court ruling from 1943, what the fuck was that principal thinking?

Soon to be former principal hopefully.

Jordan owns an NBA team as well.

 

[WaterAstro]

So how many losses will this owner endure?

Hey Dak, kneel. Jerry will cut you, then you make 20 million a year immediately, instead of having to wait for your rookie contract to run out.

 

[Darryl M R]

Any clue what players are going to do?

 

[kmfdmpig]

Fuck Jerry Jones. I hope some of the top players get together and collectively take a knee. There'd be nothing that pathetic fossil would be able to do at that point.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Mindlessly saluting a piece of cloth is more important than ideals, ideas and doing better.

 

[GodofWine]

Any clue what players are going to do?

Id love to see the whole team kneel.

Or maybe just the long snapper and both kickers. That would be an epic trolling.

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

Now that the NFLPA had come out and said that kneeling players aren't disrespecting shit and no NFL owners shall punish them for their peaceful protest... What happens now?

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brief...n-head-no-nfl-players-are-disrespecting?amp=1

The executive director of the NFL Players Association said that no player is disrespecting the flag by kneeling during the national anthem.

The comments come after the owner of the Dallas Cowboys threatened to bench any players who are "disrespectful to the flag."

NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith said in a statement Monday that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and management council John Mara had promised in front of NFL owners that "they would respect the Constitutional rights of our members without retribution."

Can the owners still bench the players?
Our would they just find some roundabout "unrelated" reason to impose their benching?

 

[Cyframe]

It's really scary how Americans can recognize the dangerous and regressive Kim regime in North Korea but cheer forced patriotism.

Black people today are still treated as property by these 'owners.'

I really wish the entire team would kneel, and effectively end their season. Jerry Jones isn't the one who is keeping the 4 something billion team afloat, it's the players.

 

[TheContact]

Jones seems like the type of guy who would own slaves if it was legal

God in a way he kind of does

 

[chicken_pasta]

I love the US and it's obsession with that piece of cloth. It's like my 5 year old sister and her blanket. Lovely stuff.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

If anyone would do it just to test 5hat rule it sure as hell won't be Elliott
Won't do shit til the QB does it, can't get rid of him because many a team is hungry at QB...wait forgot he's not white

 

[Yekshemesh]

Fuck the cowboys. So glad the Packers snatched their soul yesterday.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Cowboys fans are like Patriots fans now. You are supporting the enemy directly if you root for these teams.

 

[Ronin]

Cowboys are cursed anyway. Let them never see success again while Jerry Jones is still in this world.

Hey, son. Your eye black doesn't meet the proper regulation for the necessary distance it's suppose to sit above your cheek. Sit your ass down

 

[moffattron9000]

They were always supporting the enemy. There's a reason that we joked about people that support the Yankees, the Cowboys, and Manchester United.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Jerry Jones never had any character.

 

[Dishwalla]

Yeah, rooting for the Cowboys was always rooting for the enemy, long before anyone knew who the Patriots even were.

 

[Zabka]

Not surprised after seeing Jerry Jones' smug fucking smirk while he took a knee with his team before the anthem. Like Calvin Candie before he got shot.

I mean Jones OWNS the team and pays the checks of Garrett their head coach....he is also technically their general manager I believe but I'm not sure, they may have a honorary figurehead nowadays

 

[Monocle]

Racist moron.

See above.

 

[Feep]

Packers/Eagles doing the lord's work.

 

[Inyourprime]

Not technically he is calling himself the acting GM. That ego fucking manic still trying to prove he can win one without Jimmy.

 

[Big Baybee]

At some point black NFL players are going to take a real stand.

 

[DarkJediKnight]

That is one uncomfortable looking man.

 

[TaterTots]

You boys are my property, and you best act right.

Reminds me of this with Terry Crews; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivUjQBGnmaA

Was an eye opener for me. Never thought about it that way.

 

[hateradio]

This is so dumb. 😫

 

[jroc74]

Let a black person do something a white doesn't like and all hell breaks lose.

Let a white person do something, and they are using their American liberties.

I don't know the race of the person, but someone just won a court case for the right to burn the flag.

And yet nfl players kneeling dominates the headlines.

 

[B.O.O.M]

What an absolute tool. Sharpe was on point on this guy.

White.

 

[Verelios]

This has been some amazing judo redirecting shit from the alt right and Trump. And idiots of course lap it up instead of dealing with their conscience because it's 'easy' to do.

 

[gogojira]

Cowboys fan here. I wish every every key starter would take a knee and make them an even shittier team than they already are. Fuck Jerry Jones.

 

[Mahonay]

Jerry Jones never had any character.

[excelsiorlef]

Remember when people said Jones and co kneeling before the anthem still was meaningful and all that shit?

Jones said he thought controversy would "go away" after MNF in AZ when team knelt "in unity" before anthem and then stood locked arm in arm

Jones thought he could make it go all away... That shit was rotten from moment one

i mean, its scum jerry jones. If you thought it was anything other than Pence levels of bullshit facade you were a fool

 

[Two Words]

Fuck Jerry Jones. This guy put people like Greg Hardy, who beat his girlfriend, on the field and he wants to play ANY kind of moral high ground?

 

[excelsiorlef]

i mean, its scum jerry jones. If you thought it was anything other than Pence levels of bullshit facade you were a fool

I agree but people we giving him credit and were playing right into his hands by saying it was still meaningful before the anthem

 

[gcubed]

"this isn't really that important, let me give it a quick bullshit show and it will all go away" tells you all you need to know about the mind of that man.

 

[Boke1879]

That is one uncomfortable looking man.

He's not uncomfortable. If anything he looks smug as shit kneeling holding hands with people he probably views as property.

 

[Dante]

As if i needed anymore reason to hate the Cowboys or their smug POS owner.
