The national anthem protest situation in the NFL is dividing fans and players, and now Dallas Cowboys player Dak Prescott has given his take on the scenario, calling it “inappropriate.”
Prescott issued a statement, saying “I don’t think that’s the time or the venue to do so. The game of football has always brought me such a peace and I think it does the same for a lot of other people, people playing the game, people watching the game and any people that have an impact on 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 the joy and the love that football brings a lot of people.”
He concluded by saying “I do exactly what I’m doing and what I stand by whether I was wearing the star or not, whether I was playing for Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones or any other owner. I believe in what I believe in and that’s that.”
