Before the start of Training Camp, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones imposed his own Anthem Policy on his players, stating that players will be required to stand on the sidelines for the national anthem.

President Trump has been relentlessly criticizing the league for not handling the Anthem situation “properly.”
