Guess those ratings mean more to NFL - than people who wanted to blame Trump.

Posted: Oct 10th, 2017 - 2:48 pm In Reply to: Roger Goodell tells NFL owners ‘everyone should stand for the national anthem’ - Glad he changed his tune.

Of course, there is a very good chance Trump can influence smart people who voted for him and will vote for him again.

Read this liberal loons.

A day after asserting that Dallas Cowboys players who staged demonstrations during the national anthem would be benched, team owner Jerry Jones said President Trump had reminded him of the NFL’s policy on conduct during pregame renditions of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Jones also said his edict would help his players, who otherwise might feel compelled to bow to pressure from peers to join the protests, which have made headlines and drawn frequent condemnation from the White House.

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported Jones’s comments Monday, claiming the owner thought the “controversy would ‘go away’ ” after a Monday night game two weeks ago in which Jones knelt with his team before the anthem, after which they stood arm-in-arm as the song was performed. Following that demonstration, Jones said his organization had “wanted to make a statement about unity” and “a statement about equality.”

During that display, Trump noted on Twitter that the crowd was booing the kneeling Cowboys and that he approved of the way “they all stood up for our National Anthem,” adding, “Big progress being made — we all love our country!” The next day, Trump tweeted that he had spoken with Jones, claiming, “Players will stand for Country!”
