The owner of the Dallas Cowboys doesn't think football players should protest during the national anthem. Jerry Jones told KRLD-FM Tuesday that recognizing the flag is a "salute to our country and all of the people that have sacrificed so that we can have the liberties we have."
No Cowboys engaged in protests in the 2016 season or so far in this year's preseason. The protests gained national attention after former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was the first player who refused to stand during the "Star Spangled Banner" last year.
