First jackass Jerry Jones knelt with his players during the first week of the NFL (National Felons League) season. Then, when ratings tanked and stadiums couldn’t fill up anymore, Jerry Jones threatened that if any of his Dallas Cowboy players disrespected the flag, they would not play. Yet this past Sunday, Cowboys LB David Irving raised a black power fist during the anthem as the played in San Francisco. Irving played, and not a word has been said by Jones about Irving disrespecting the anthem. Yet again, Jerry Jones proves to be all bluster and no action, and a part of the problem with the NFL.

Earlier this month, Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones strongly asserted that his players would respect the flag or, “we will not play.” Well, on Sunday, Cowboys LB David Irving raised a fist during the anthem as the Cowboys got set to take on the 49ers. And guess what? Irving, and the rest of Jerry Jones’ Cowboys, played.
After saying that he hadn’t discussed Irving’s blatant act of insubordination with him, Jones sounded more much like a politician than an owner drawing a line in the sand. “But David can be a very important part of our team going forward,” Jones said. “Ever since he got back off his suspension he has made important plays. We need him out there. I am certainly pleased with any aspect of what he was about today, with his play or anything else.”“I am certainly pleased with any aspect of what he was about today, with his play or anything else.”
Really? Jones is pleased with Irving openly defying him? That is quite a far cry from the Jerry Jones of two weeks ago, who famously said, “If there’s anything that is disrespectful to the flag, then we will not play. OK? Understand? If we are disrespecting the flag, then we won’t play. Period. Period.”
