Dontari Poe Plans to Kneel During Anthem, Would Be 1st Cowboys Player to Kneel

Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Dontari Poe said Sunday he plans to kneel during the national anthem as a protest against racial injustice, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic.

The 30-year-old is heading into his first season in Dallas after signing as a free agent in March.
