Jerry Jones has thrown down the gauntlet, but Dak Prescott has all of the power. So does Ezekiel Elliott. The same for Dez Bryant.
Since Jones revealed what so many suspected - that he wants his players to stand for the national anthem or risk consequences - the popular theory has been that guys like Dak, Zeke and Dez can kneel knowing there will be nothing.
Jerry was asked about that scenario Tuesday during his weekly radio show on 105.3 The Fan.
"I would say that implication that we're not respecting the flag is not going to be accepted," he said.
