In Arizona for a Monday Night Football game against the Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took a knee with his team before the National Anthem amid a chorus of boos, and then the entire team and Jones stood with arms locked while the Anthem played:

Will the pressure now be on other owners to join their teams?
I thought the anthem was about respecting America. But it's been about football players deciding what unity is since yesterday. https://t.co/WoOPl5Idm4

Jerry Jones took a knee to support cop hating rhetoric but stood to honor the flag. And the left celebrates. #BlueLivesMatter #BoycottNFL

Jones taking a knee certainly caught the eyes of some on the Left.
The @dallascowboys and owner Jerry Jones, took a collective knee on the field. Not one @AZCardinals player took a knee. All linked arms.

Jerry Jones taking a knee. Please Lord, don't make me like Jerry Jones even for a second.

I loved that the Cowboys and Jerry Jones kneeled BEFORE the anthem, so now white supremacists can't push the "disrespect the flag" lie

So now standing during the Anthem will be acceptable again? Stay tuned.
