The owner has long been adamant that players stand for “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
Jones, as he is prone to do, talked at length and wasn’t clear about his plans, but he used the words “grace” and “understanding” in an effort to reconcile his feelings and those of the players.
“These are very sensitive times. I have nothing to prove as far as where I’m standing with the flag and where the Cowboys stand. I have nothing to prove regarding my players and my support of our players. What I do want to show and want us all to be a part of is a word called grace. Grace,” he said. “Not only grace in our actions but grace in our understanding of where they’re coming from. ...
“I’m going to have grace. I’ve had grace,” he continued. “Many of you have written and criticized me for having too much grace and understanding regarding our players, and I probably have. And I’m going to have grace regarding the people that are sensitive about our flag. Somewhere in between there as the weeks, as we get together with our team, as we discuss with the team, somewhere in between there is how we’re going to handle it.
