Jerry Jones: Cowboys' policy is 'you stand for the anthem'

Even though the NFL's new policy about national anthem protests is on hold as the league and NFLPA work toward a resolution, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones did not hesitate to share his approach to the controversy.

"Our policy is you stand for the anthem, toe on the line," Jones told reporters Wednesday, according to Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News.

The new league policy, before being put on hold, allowed players to remain in the locker room during the anthem. If players chose to stand on the sidelines during the anthem but protested, their teams would be fined.

Jones also called United States President Donald Trump's interest and involvement in the national anthem issue problematic and unprecedented. "Everybody would like it to go away," he said, according to ESPN's Todd Archer.
