Cowboys players take a knee with owner Jerry Jones before standing for national anthem

As President Donald Trump continued tweeting Monday about his displeasure with NFL players for staging demonstrations during the national anthem, the Cowboys took a knee on the field just before the anthem was performed on “Monday Night Football.”

Dallas players were joined by team owner Jerry Jones, and they quickly got to their feet and stood, with arms linked, during the rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Some in the crowd at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, where the Cowboys were taking on the host Cardinals, booed at the display.
