Jones had threatened to bench players who knelled during the anthem.On The Fan, a Dallas radio station, Jones urged fans to respect the players and their diverse opinions.On the radio, Jones said, “If our players are there, they are sensitive to and respect what America is as it relates to the flag. I’ll assure you that. I’d hope that our fans — and I think they will — understand that our players have issues that they need help on. They need help from the majority of America.” Post Views: 411The following two tabs change content below.BioLatest PostsMecca LennonMecca Lennon has been a Journalist for In The Zone since August 2020.
