The national anthem protests in the NFL are not going away anytime soon.

It has yet to be an issue with the Dallas Cowboys. Every player has stood for the anthem since former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began the movement by kneeling at the beginning of last season.

It is not lost on Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ mind, but he said our nation’s flag is important to him and he liked the way his team has handled the situation to date.

“I just feel so strongly that the act of recognizing the flag is a salute to our country and all of the people that have sacrificed so that we can have the liberties we have,” Jones said on his radio show on 105.
