GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) \u2014\u00a0Dallas Cowboys<\/a>\u00a0owner Jerry Jones has been a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, so the speculation was that he would not allow his players to kneel during the national anthem.<\/h2>\nThe Cowboys and their owner did kneel, though not during the anthem.<\/p>\n
Following a weekend of kneeling and protesting across the NFL, the Cowboys and their owner displayed their own version of unity Monday night, kneeling on the field before rising as a group before the playing of the national anthem.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys went into the locker room and returned to the field for the anthem, lining up between the sideline and the yard markers on the field.<\/p>\n
Arm-in-arm, they dropped to a knee as a giant flag was carried onto the field, with Jones and his family in the middle near the 50-yard line.<\/p>\n
Numerous boos rang out across University of Phoenix Stadium as the Cowboys kneeled and continued as the players rose, still arm-in-arm, and stepped back to the sideline as the flag was unfurled across the field. They remained\u00a0connected<\/a>\u00a0as Jordin Sparks sang the national anthem:<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/twitter.com\/SInow\/status\/912496871997919233?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Fsports%2F2017%2F09%2F25%2Famericas-team-surrenders-cowboys-kneel-national-anthem-arizona%2F<\/p>\n
