Well this was clever. People are freaking out because “America’s Team” took a knee before the game in union tonight. BUT they didn’t do it during the National Anthem.
They did it beforehand, so that they wouldn’t insult the flag.

Well shoot. It looks like they squared the circle. They showed solidarity with each other, they recognized some sympathy with the cause of Kaepernick, but they did it WITHOUT insulting the National Anthem, or the flag.
VERY CLEVER JERRY JONES!!!
It didn’t keep some in the stadium from booing though.

And people who want to be outraged will be outraged.

Seeing a lot of Trump fans ripping into the Cowboys – they’re invested heavily in division.

And that’s why politics is a sewer right now.
