    Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, in a phone conversation with ESPN on
    Monday night, said the team policy that prohibits players from playing if
    they "disrespect" the flag is not new and has been in effect since last season, when players around the league started to kneel during the
    national anthem.

    He said he decided to address it with reporters after Sunday's game
    against the Green Bay Packers when they asked Jones about Vice President
    Mike Pence leaving the game in Indianapolis earlier in the day when San Francisco 49ers players took a knee.

    "If there's anything that is disrespectful to the flag, then we will not play," Jones said Sunday. "Understand? We will not ... if we are
    disrespecting the flag, then we will not play. Period."

    Jones clarified Monday night that not standing at attention during the
    anthem is what he considers disrespectful and unacceptable.

    He said players "need consequences" to stand up to peer pressure, and that "it's in the best interests of the Dallas Cowboys, the NFL and the
    players" to honor the flag.

    In a tweet Monday night, President Donald Trump praised Jones' stance.

    Jones said the policy applies to all players, no exceptions, even if the player is a star such as WR Dez Bryant or QB Dak Prescott. He said any
    player who communicated his unwillingness to adhere to the policy would be made inactive for the game, and if a player took action during the anthem,
    he simply would not play.

    Jones also addressed the impression that the league's operations manual doesn't properly address the issue.

    "The game ops manual has an ambiguity being used for those who don't want
    to enforce it -- the word 'should' stand for anthem is their ambiguity,
    but how can it be ambiguous when it cites the potential penalties of
    fines, suspension or loss of draft picks for failing to adhere?" Jones
    asked.

    National Anthem

    The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all
    players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.

    During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should
    stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag
    is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that
    we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the
    flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the
    National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions,
    and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.

    Jones said he understands the social concerns surrounding the issue but
    noted that he won't compromise when it comes to the anthem, adding that he
    has "always had our players' backs on issues I've been criticized for."

    Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said earlier Monday that he hadn't yet
    discussed Jones' postgame comments with the owner.

    "Again, I believe our team believes in the approach that we take in
    regards to the anthem and showing respect for the flag and for the
    national anthem prior to the game," Garrett said.

    Two Cowboys players, defensive ends Damontre Moore and David Irving,
    raised their fists at the end of the national anthem before Sunday's game,
    but Garrett said Monday the players would not be disciplined.


    --
    Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
    parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.

    Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the Obama presidency.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp.

    ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its supporters can dispute that.

    Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
    be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
    it is.

    Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
    liberal democrat donors.
