Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will not tolerate any players kneeling during the national anthem.

Jones said after Sunday's loss to the Green Bay Packers that anyone who "disrespects the flag" won't be allowed to play, per Mike Finger of the San Antonio Express-News.

"We cannot in anyway give the implication that we tolerate disrespecting the flag," Jones added, per Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News.
