Jerry Jones Wants Compromise with Cowboys Players on Kneeling During Anthem

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday he'll hold conversations with the team's players in hopes of finding a compromise about whether they'll kneel during the national anthem throughout the 2020 NFL season.

Jones explained on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas an idea similar to what the team did before a September 2017 game against the Arizona Cardinals might be the best route to take:

"That's fair. And that, at the end of the day, was a recognition that we support our players. I knelt with our players as you know, on a personal basis, but as a team, we all knelt together before the anthem, and we stood for the anthem to recognize what it's symbol is to America.
