Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and quarterback Dak Prescott are a match made in heaven in terms of the national anthem controversy.
Jones has made it clear his feelings about players standing during the national anthem, they will if they want to stay on the Cowboys. Prescott echoed those thoughts saying he didn't think an NFL field was the time or place for those type of protests.
TMZ Sports caught up with Jones, and he had nothing but glowing remarks about his quarterback.
“I'm so proud of him, just proud of him the way he leads the team,” Jones said. “For not letting it mess with their practices.
Prescott did backtrack a bit last week on his comments saying protests are a good thing and making social injustice trades are good, but he still doesn't think that during the National Anthem is a good time. Via ESPN.
“So for me, I'm all about making a change, making a difference, and I think this whole kneeling and all that was all about just raising awareness. The fact that we're still talking about social injustice years later, I think we've got to that point. I think we've proved and we know that there's social injustice. So I'm for taking a next step that whatever that step may be for action, and not just kneeling. I've always believed in standing up for what I believe in, and that's what I'm going to continue to do.”
The NFL and the NFLPA are still trying to work on an agreement about the rules this year for the National Anthem, and an agreement should come within the next few weeks.
