    dak prescott "I never protest during the anthem, and I don't think that's the time or the venue to do so,"

    lol

    of course he isn't gonna take any heat from this..because it's black vs white. not right vs wrong


    OXNARD, Calif. -- Since saying he did not believe the national anthem was the right venue to protest social injustices, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has caught flak from those in and around the NFL as well as from some outside professional sports.
    Prescott said he knew there would be a backlash, so it did not catch him by surprise.

    "I made my statements. I stand by what I said," Prescott said Sunday. "Some people may have misunderstood or whatever, but I know what I said, and I feel strongly about what I said. It is what it is."

    On July 27, Prescott was asked to respond to Jerry Jones' comments at the start of training camp that Cowboys players will stand for the anthem. The NFL and NFL Players Association have had meetings about anthem protocol after the league announced it was setting aside a ruling that players have to stand if they are on the field for the anthem but may remain in the locker room if they want to.

    "I never protest during the anthem, and I don't think that's the time or the venue to do so," Prescott said last month. "The game of football has always brought me such a peace, and I think it does the same for a lot of people, a lot of people playing the game, a lot of people watching the game, a lot of people that have any impact of the game. So when you bring such a controversy to the stadium, to the field, to the game, it takes away. It takes away from that. It takes away from the joy and the love that football brings to a lot of people.

    "So for me, I'm all about making a change, making a difference, and I think this whole kneeling and all that was all about just raising awareness. The fact that we're still talking about social injustice years later, I think we've got to that point. I think we've proved and we know that there's social injustice. So I'm for taking a next step that whatever that step may be for action, and not just kneeling. I've always believed in standing up for what I believe in, and that's what I'm going to continue to do."

    Prescott said he respects the players who have protested during the anthem, but he believes there is a better way to bring about a solution.
    On social media and in news media, Prescott has taken heat for his comments. Prescott was recently depicted on a mural in Dallas as a character from the film "Get Out," with a gasping, terrified look and tears falling from his eyes.

    "Everybody has their own opinion," Prescott said Sunday, regarding the mural.

    Prescott said he is aware that the issue of protesting during the anthem has been a polarizing topic.

    "That's what controversial means," he said, "and this is probably one of the most controversial topics we've had in the game since I've been in."

    Even though I disagree with Dak I respect him for stating his opinion eloquently, respecting those who disagree, and sticking by what he said. Guy has real balls compared to Drew Brees.

    He's an evangelical Christian conservative Trump supporter. He raised money for a group that does gay conversion therapy and then "apologized" for it later and said he "didn't realize" just like he "didn't realize" the implication of what he said a few days ago. LOL you'd have to live in a cave not to realize it.

    Instead of half-ass apologizing and reading a statement someone wrote for him, he should just own it and be what he is. It shouldn't disqualify him from playing football.

    That being said, LOL at anyone who thinks there is not still institutionalized racism in America and that something (a lot) needs to be done about it.

    There's either institutionalized racism or black people just complain too much. Oh wait.
