Cowboys QB Dak Prescott 'not at all' tempted to protest national anthem

He's a good guy and appreciates all he has.

Why? Because he was educated at Mississippi State University. This kid is just solid.

Probably because he's under a fourth round rookie contract.

Or because he's not a piece of garbage.

Well if I'm on the opposite side of you and kaepernick, then I know I'm on the right side.

So, he should be on the same side of the question as Kapernick because he's black? Is that what you're saying? You think every black athelete on the globe is just burning to protest the national anthem? Are you saying that Dak isn't being truthful?

Wasn't this news two weeks ago? or is this something else that has happened?

Or maybe he is appreciative of the people who died defending our country.

Or, he's appreciative of the opportunity he has because he lives in this country and not a self serving POS

He's not uppity.**

Dak would rather do something to help out with legitimate causes and not the made up cause that Krapernick and the media push.

Freedom of speech will be taken away soon via p45.

Nope. I didn't say any of that.

This is the problem with the entire public dialogue. People don't know how to listen and just make up what they think other people mean. It's amazing because for some people sitting during the national anthem means disrespecting the military when no one has ever said that at all.

By the way, Kap initially was on one knee which for many people is just another symbolic gesture that people appreciate (ask Tebow). Kap has never disrespected the military or anyone who died in the military. That's just the red meat that people feed you so that you won't consider the real issue.

The real issue is police not being held responsible for unarmed deaths which is why Dez went out of his way to clarify that his not kneeling does not mean he doesn't support social issues.

By kneeling Kap brought attention to an issue that the rest of society likes to forget. By not signing him NFL owners are actually keeping the issue alive.

I know you "blue blooded Americans" whose country has been taken away will not agree with me but that's fine. Continue on making America great again but this time do it for EVERYONE. God bless.

Hands up, don't shoot! Talk about being fed red meat to steer away from the real issue. The criminals are the problem, not the police.

Dak stood up for what he believes is right. Our country, our freedoms and our flag. I'm glad Daks a Dawg and thankful for the way he represents us! He continues to impress with more than just his play on the field but by the man he is off the field!

It is how you view the flag. Is it a sign of oppressive American government or is it those people who have did a lot including giving their lives for our freedoms? On one hand, kneeling does draw attention to the social issues but some people just don't see it that way. It is your right to have an opinion but that right was paid for with lives.

The real issue is the reforms offered by BLM. They are common sense, unless you WANT black Americans to be oppressed by the police. Many do, so they refuse to address the reforms at all as they are so common sense that they can't be debated. So they distract. Carry on Timber, we know your true goal.

Several of the incidences with police are lack of adequate training. The woman killed in Minnesota was by a rookie that probably shouldn't have been allowed in that situation at that time. Cops go into dangerous situations and if they aren't prepared for it then things can go horribly wrong.
