As for "disrespecting the star," guys, get over it.
That Star is no more sacred than Holy water.
If TO could keep his behavior in check (which I doubt), and he was available in free agency, Jerry Jones would let him sleep on the Star as long as he's scoring TDs and bringing fans (money) into the stadium. Heck, if he helped Dallas win a Super Bowl, Jones might even let him initial it.
and this my friends is why we will never understand why muslims were made that we flushed a "book" down the tolet, but don;t care when peopel are killed.
See everything are objects.But we as humans apply MEANING to objects that FAR FAR OUT wya what the objects practil value is.
For example in marlobo man movie the dude kept wearing broken boots and havign to tap them up with duct tape. Reason being his farther gave him those boots. Therefore the object that was worthless to other people was the most valuable thing he owned. Same thing as I have a 1964 plymoth signet convertable that was given to be when i was in elementray school people ask about buying it but i tell them you don't want to buy the car for what I am asking for it. Simply it is worth more to me then other people. Keep in mind I am 21 and I haven't driven since the last hour needed to get my license s when 16. I hate driving but I don;t plan to sell car.
POint being that humans inject into objects meaning and the object transends the pysical world into a emootinal and mental world. People will react emootinal in crazy ways because of this.
That being said the star isn't just a star painted ont he grass that can be removed and repainted. It emboddies everything about freeedom, justice, love, championships. It is the blood, sweat, tears, history of the rgeatest team that ever was. It is the symbol of Americas Team. It is what peopel are willing to die for. When you disrepspect the star you show you have no honor. You cannot respect things other peoepl value. If you cannot respect the star how can you play for it. How can fans accept you.
For example people don't to receite the songs of other national teams songs when another country wins a computition, but the stand up for it and don't spit on it.
Doesn't matter if you are a drug dealer, a coach that carries a gun into an airport, if you have a shaarpie in your shoe, if you killed someone. But if you siresepct all that is holy and write in america the Dallas Cowboy star.
then there is no spot even on our practice sqaud for you adn there shoudln;t even be a spot on our rivals practce squad for you.
