Jerry and Stephen have come out with their policy for the National Anthem. Its his team and its his Cowboys world.
But how did the Cowboys get to be America's Team? It surely did not get that name for kneeling or sitting during the National Anthem. It was not about patriotism. Dallas had killed one of America's most beloved Presidents. It is about brand marketing. Tex Schramm started it. When he allowed the title of the Cowboys season review to be called "America's Team", it was a brand commitment. America loves winners and the Cowboys were winners with fan all over the world. The first "American Bowl" overseas featured America's Team in London vs. the Bears. I could go on with the impact of Roger Staubach "Captain America", Chad Hennings, US Olympic Gold Medal winner Bullet Bob Hayes, etc. to tie-in the America theme for the Dallas Cowboys. However, Staubach was not drafted by the Cowboys to be a marketing brand. He was a Heisman trophy winning QB that had game changing passing and running skills. The same for Hayes who was a football player that happen to be the fastest human in the world.
So Jerry has no choice but to defend the National Anthem for America's Team. However, he is not a founding father of the US constitution. So Americans have the right to stand, sit, kneel, lay down, dance or plug their ears during the playing of the National Anthem. But every US citizen is not a Dallas Cowboy branded as America's Team. So I do agree with Jerry on that one point. Everything else is B.S.
The reason it is B.S. because it is brand marketing. Prior to getting paid by our armed services/US government, the NFL kept the players in the locker room until after the playing of the National Anthem. So where the heck was Tex and Jerry prior to getting tax payer money to be patriotic? Well Tex was working on the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (sex sells). Jerry was busy trying to run off Bill Parcells who he had to hire to get his stadium and hire Jason Garrett as defacto OC future HC. So in 2009 The NFL was paid to stage patriotic displays with NFL players on the field. So much for toeing the line.
Do I feel NFL players should have the same rights as US citizens...Yes. They can stand, kneel, sit, dance, etc. However, if you are drafted by "America's Team" you have to stand. It is the brand marketing that has made the Cowboys worth almost $5MM. Money talks and B.S. requires standing for the National Anthem in the NFL...not patriotism.
