This pro sports commissioner is being blackmailed by an owner in the league in which they are in charge.

Roger Goodell
Commissioner of the NFL

Jerry Jones
Dallas Cowboys

Roger Goodell spoke. But nobody speaks for Jerry Jones — and that’s why his silence on kneeling is deafening.

It has been nearly two years since Jerry Jones delivered that message, but it stands as the last meaningful point he delivered about his Dallas Cowboys and the topic of player protests. He said it then, so it continues to resonate now: Cowboys players will stand because Jones expects them to stand. Every other team in the league could open the 2020 season with players kneeling against the police brutality that killed George Floyd, but that won’t include Dallas — unless Jones says otherwise.

So we wait. We wait and we wonder where this is going with Dallas because there is no dodging this reality: Jerry Jones is a powerful bellwether for how deep acceptance and change goes in the NFL. What he says and does publicly matters as it gives us an idea of what he’s saying and doing privately in ownership meetings. And given his relationship with President Donald Trump, his voice — or lack of it — can either paint a political target on the league during the election cycle, or signal that even he is willing to push back in 2020.

Of course, all of this is assuming Jones has something new to say. Which, to be fair, maybe he doesn’t. Maybe 2020 Jerry is the same guy as 2018 Jerry, when he kicked off training camp that summer by sternly declaring to all: “Our policy is that you stand for the anthem, toe on the line.” – Source
