When the Cowboys were kneeling before the national anthem, was it in protest or prayer?
I missed the first 10 minutes of the game.
The answer to this question determines if I will continue to support the Cowboys. The rest of the NFL I'd dead to me.

It was in protest. PLEASE PLEASE go find a new team. The Minnesota Lynx could use a fan.

They lined up in the middle of the field before the anthem was played, most bowed there heads in prayer on one knee like Tim Tebow does. I saw a few that didn't bow their head but who knows what was going on in their head. I even saw one coach, I think Rod Marinelli that just stooped down and didn't ever get on a knee. After a few seconds of silence they stood back up, locked arm in arm and walk off the field that way. When they got to their sideline they turned around to face the field again and then once again locked arms during the nation anthem. I thought is was respectful to fans and flag but you make up your own mind.

In fairness I just don't think old Rod could make it to a knee and back up, he has a hard enough time walking

If this is true then that's ok.
What a relief.

I was thinking the same thing. Just saying that's what I saw.
As soon as I seen old Rod, I knew it wasn't him not kneeling just him not being able to it, he gave it a solid effort though

Another option is pacifying. Not saying that's what I think was warranted (while ducking) but it certainly is a legit choice to describe their pre-anthem display.

you're the one openly crying and pouting about the Cowboys protesting
I was asking if they were protesting.
Now that I found out it was prayer it's not an issue with me. Show me where I was openly crying.

Nowhere did anyone on the team say it was a prayer, thats your sick twist on the Cowboys protest. Also locking arms is a form of protesting as well.

They didn't need to say it. It's obvious that many had their head bowed in prayer. I understand you don't recognize a genuflect when you see one because that's not what a godless heathen like you does.
