Prescott doesn't back down from anthem stance: 'I stand by what I said'

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott doesn't intend to waver from his stance that the national anthem isn't "the time or the venue" for protests, despite criticisms from around the league.

"I made my statements. I stand by what I said," Prescott said on Sunday, according to ESPN's Todd Archer. "Some people might have misunderstood or whatever, but I know what I said, and I feel strongly about what I said. It is what it is."

Prescott made his comments Friday after being asked about Jerry Jones' insistence that Cowboys players "stand for the anthem, toe on the line," even though the NFL's new anthem rule allows players to remain in the locker room.

"It has no effect to me because I do exactly what I'm doing and what I've said and what I stand by, whether I'm wearing the star or not, playing for Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, or any other owner," Prescott said. "I believe in what I believe in and that's that."

One example of the backlash toward Prescott is a mural depicting him as the main character in the movie "Get Out."

"Everybody has their own opinion," Prescott said of the mural.
