Report: NFL Orders Jerry Jones To Stop Talking About Anthem Issue

The NFL has told Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to stop talking about the national anthem policy, according to a report from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

According to the report, Jones was scheduled to talk to several television stations on Sunday, but told them that he would not answer questions about that topic.

Jones also said that the Cowboys policies about the anthem were not permitted.

Jones sparked controversy last week when said that his players will stand on the field during the national anthem this upcoming NFL season, going against a league policy on the issue.
