Just before tonight’s Monday Night Football Game between the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals, the entire Cowboys team, staff, family and even owner Jerry Jones linked arms and kneeled PRIOR TO.. yes, PRIOR TO the playing of the national anthem.
They then proceed to stand during the playing of the National Anthem and it would seem like they did just enough to make both sides happy on the stance.
Well, they were wrong. The team’s official twitter account posted a picture (as see above) of the team kneeling before the anthem and Cowboys fans flooded their mentions with anger and even threatened to not be fans of “America’s Team” anymore.
I’ve been a Cowboy fan my whole life. I’m done with you.

Shameful and rightfully and soundly booed. Jones will regret this one. Done with them. Fan since 75

It’s called being on the fence, playing both sides. I expected more from Jerry Jones & the American team, Dallas Cowboys! So disappointed 😥

So the Cowboys think all cops and military are racist. Yes I know it’s before the anthem, but that’s what this action ultimatley means, no?

Doesn’t matter if before anthem taking a knee shows you stand with Kaep that wore pig cop socks #shame

So lets recap:
- Dallas Cowboys team kneels prior to the national anthem, still stands for the national anthem. So, they didn’t protest anything.
- Yet, fans are still mad.
