Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spoke to Yahoo Finance and said that in the NFL, "politics are not good for us."
Politics are bad for the NFL, said Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones while speaking to Yahoo Finance on Wednesday.“Politicians can win the presidency on 51% of the vote — or less,” he added. “The Dallas Cowboys, the NFL, sports need 90% of the interest. So 50 [percent] doesn’t work for us. So we’ve got to stay away from politics when the social gets over into politics.”
As the protest quickly spread to other players on other teams, the billionaire businessman and Trump supporter told his Cowboys players that they would be required to stand for the anthem. Though his position on the anthem is clear, he said, he believes that athletes — and the NFL — should use their platform to highlight activist issues.
