Jerry Jones defers question on protesting players because of Kaepernick subpoena | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' position on NFL players protesting during the national anthem is well known.

He barred his team from participating in the protests for social justice last season, threatening to not play anyone who didn't respect the flag or the anthem before games.

The question now whether Jones would sign a free agent player who protested in the past.

Jones, however, declined to answer the question when asked at the NFL owners meeting on Tuesday, citing pending litigation with former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is suing the NFL for allegedly colluding to blackball him.
