Some going as far as to say they are disavowing the Cowboys as their team after decades of viewership. Again showing to me that this country thrives on controversy and division more than unity no matter what hashtag or arm locking is being displayed.

Publicity stunt by Jerry Jones. I viewed it as him straddling both sides of the argument. Showing unity with his team while also protecting his multi billion dollar investment.
Not surprisingly, fans were still booing the team by kneeling BEFORE the anthem (even though we know the kneel isnt about the anthem), so really no matter what black people do for a protest to draw awareness, there will always be people that are ignorant about it.
