<p>Members of the Dallas Cowboys organization have been reluctant to protest the national anthem, with head coach <a type="internal">Jason Garrett calling the anthem &#8220;sacred&#8221;</a> and Dez Bryant saying he wouldn&#8217;t protest. Their attitudes mirror what&#8217;s coming from the top.</p> 
<p>Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has made it clear that he opposes national anthem protests. In an interview with FOX Business, Jones said he did &#8220;not think the place&#8221; to express opinions is by protesting the flag.</p>

<p>Jones&#8217; thoughts echo that of many Americans, though as the demonstrations attest, there are many who disagree.</p>
