The Uncivil Race War: Is THIS why the Cowboys are still getting ratings?

(hat-tip to my anonymous friend)

So we can now add "racist" to Jerry Jones' list, I see...

In probably one of the least surprising recent developments of the National Anthem protests, Jerry Jones was reported by MSN to be the only voice of dissent in a hard line to try to get the Black football players forced to stand for the National Anthem.

In contrast to current NFL policy (and in opposition to the understanding most MAGA football fans/boycotters are expressing all over Twitter), Jones even suggested the following:

"More specifically, Jones expressed a desire to have the NFL’s game-day manual changed to outline potential punishments for players who do not stand during “The Star-Spangled Banner.” There were reportedly no other owners who supported his stance."

I've had to tell a number of the White Right protestors:  The current NFL manual says SHOULD stand -- not MUST.  That's the NBA, and was in response to people who WERE factually being disrespectful, not exercising their Constitutional right to protest.

And then someone on Democratic Underground saw this old ditty from three years ago:

"Dallas Cowboys Owner and General Manager, Jerry Jones, was recently caught on tape by his longtime fling. He stated during the recording that he was sick of that “n**** Dez Bryant,” and as soon as Bryant makes a mistake, he would quickly make a move to “hang the punk.”"

Though the article states Sports Illustrated actually has found Jones to be the least popular sports figure in his home state of Texas, the reality is that, at the same time, he has taken the front and center of the MAGA White Right Football Movement.

This is why the Cowboys were 5 for 5 entering this week in raising both ratings and viewers.   This week, however, appears to have bucked that trend, making it 5 for 6.
