With flagging ratings and viral photos showing half-empty stadiums, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones talked about the national anthem protests.
“There is no question,” Jones told Dallas Morning News reporter Brandon George on Sunday, Oct. 22, about whether the NFL is suffering due to the protests during the singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” before games. Players have said that they’re protesting police brutality and racism, but critics---including President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence---have contended the kneeling is disrespectful to the flag and veterans.
