Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Just Revealed Trump's Warning To Kaepernick – Better Listen!
After the NFL owners saw how the ratings tanked, and decided to devise an official national
anthem policy although the issue appeared to be dying down, mainly because it was the
offseason.
So in order to head off anymore controversy before the 2018 season, starts NFL owners
approved a policy that requires players, and staff members to either stand on the sideline
or remain in the locker room for "The Star-Spangled Banner", and made it clear the league will
find any organization, who has a player who takes a knee on the field.
Plus the player could also face team discipline under the collective bargaining agreement.
It's now easy to see how much President Trump and his supporters boycotting the league
have influenced their thinking.
Several owners and executives even alluded to this after the policy was approved.
But now there's sworn testimony to suggest Trump told at least one owner, Jerry Jones,
that he was going to keep humping the issue because it benefits him.
Yesterday Andrew Beaton who is a left-leaning Wall Street Journal writer provided sworn
testimony, giving about a conversation Jones, and President Trump had during a deposition
for the collusion case, involving former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
According to Beaton Jones said he was told by President Trump, "This is a very winning,
strong issue for me, Tell everybody, you can't win this one.
This one lifts me."
Although The Cowboys owner did add that the league couldn't "piss off a large percentage
of your constituency", and downplayed the overall impact of Trump's comments about
the situation.
This is just another shot at trying to paint Trump as a bully.
We have been seeing this ever since he started beating candidates out of the Presidential
race.
It's not right.
President Trump did the right thing for America and everything she stands for.
Here is more on the new policy by The NFL:
"Goodell said he plans to talk to the NFL PA directly about the anthem policy changes
the league has adopted.
"Anything I have to say to the union, I'll say to them directly," Goodell said during
a news conference.
"I do that all the time.
So I'd be more than happy to do that, but I will do that to them directly.
But there have been incredible engagement with the players.
We've talked to tens if not hundreds of players about this over the last year or so
to get their input, to understand their position and, again, to respect them as I think we've
stated here."
Vice President Mike Pence reacted to the news Wednesday on Twitter writing, "hashtag Winning".
Speaking to NFL Network's Steve Wyche, York said he sent a text message to Richard Sherman,
an active NFLPA leader while the policy was being discussed by team owners to let him
know, what he thought the outcome would be.
York added that the 49ers also might halt concession sales, at Levi's Stadium during
the playing of the national anthem, saying that he didn't think the team should "profit"
during that time.
The change comes after players throughout the league chose not to stand, during the
anthem prior to the start of games during the 2017 season.
The protests, which started in 2016 when Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the anthem to
draw awareness, to issues of social inequality against minorities, became a central issue
for the NFL after President Trump criticized the movement during a speech last September,
stating players should be fired for not standing.
After discussing the topic at length with team owners at the Fall League Meeting last
year, Goodell said the NFL wouldn't force players to stand for the national anthem,
even though the league believed they should stand.
That stance was modified Wednesday.
"To make a decision that strong you would hope the players would have input on it, but
obviously not, so we have to deal with it as players," Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor
said about the policy.
"Not a good or a bad thing but at the end of the day they call the shots and make the
rules.
So that's something we have to abide by.
I think the main thing out of all of it is that each ballclub has an open communication,
between the players and the ownership on the issues, that are going on in the community
and trying to change it."
Off the field, the league has made a push to address social issues important to players.
Working in conjunction with the Players Coalition, the league stepped up its efforts to support
players on social issues important to them, dedicating $89 million to efforts combating
social inequality.
"We think that we've come up with a balanced process here, and the procedure in policy
that will allow those players, who feel that they can't stand for the anthem to stay
in the locker room and there's no penalty for that," Goodell said.
"But we are going to encourage all of them to be on the field.
We'd like all of them to be on the field and stand at attention."
