Well, the fact that sponsors were willing to back out and that the owners were worried about the backlash shows that he was correct.  And I did notice that the players have ended this little show of theirs ever since Jerrah told the Cowboys that "there will be no kneeling on our sideline".  People watch the NFL for entertainment, not for political commentary.  If they want political commentary, they can read or watch the news.  One of the best renditions of the National Anthem I've heard was from the high school girl before the Denver opener.  So glad some players didn't have to act up to take away from that great performance.
