As the Dallas Cowboys begin training camp, Owner Jerry Jones wants to make one thing very clear to his team before the 2017 NFL season begins.

If any of his players want to take a knee during the National Anthem, don’t expect to see them on the roster for much longer.

Last season, Jones told CBS Radio’s 105.3 The Fan, “I got to give a big pat on the back to our entire team, our coaching staff, our entire organization. We strongly, strongly support the flag in every way we support — and it’s almost ridiculous to be saying it — the people who for generations and generations have given it all up so that we can get out here and show off in front of millions of people on television."

Their rules. The NFL and every other pro sport may as well be a branch of the military at this point.

I bet most NFL players are already pot heads. No need for a study.

About time. Sooner or later someone who has a MJ card in a state that legalizes freedom will test positive. That will cause a big problem.

It's a great idea. The league knows two things:

1) Medical marijuana is a legitimate treatment for a wide variety of ailments
2) A lot of players already use marijuana.

It makes sense that an organization that is known for injuries to its members start allowing for its use, because players are out front of the league on this issue already.
