FRISCO, Texas -- Local 100 of the United Labor Unions has withdrawn its complaint to the National Labor Relations Board against the Dallas Cowboys.
In a press release, Local 100 said it dropped the complaint following the meeting between NFL owners and players last week, which focused more on social reform than national anthem demonstrations. Prior to that meeting, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones had said players on his team would be benched if they "disrespected the flag" during the anthem.
Defensive end David Irving has raised a fist at the close of the anthem in each of the past two games.
