But you bring up a good point. Only the bottom 10 or so could get cut at any time, and you could then claim it was "football reasons" or whatever and maybe they wouldn't push the issue. You bet your ass though people would see right through "football reasons" if Prescott kneeled on Sunday primetime, and then Monday was released by the cowboys. Even Jerry is not that stupid. He's calling the players bluffs and hoping that they won't kneel, because if they do, he is smart enough to realize that he can't do anything about it. The best thing the owners can do, is stay out of the protests until it all calms down.
