After Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that his team would stand on the sidelines and stand at attention during the playing of the U.S. national anthem, he was ordered not to talk about the issue by NFL officials, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported on July 29.
Jones told several local television stations around Dallas who had booked him for interviews on Sunday that questions about the national anthem aren’t permitted, according to the report. The league, he said, told him to stop speaking on the issue.
