DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) — The President of the United States of America has reached out to the president of “America’s Team.”
President Trump tweeted Wednesday morning that he spoke with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, calling him a winner who knows how to get things done.
Spoke to Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys yesterday. Jerry is a winner who knows how to get things done. Players will stand for Country!

This comes just one day after commenting on the booing that happened when the Cowboys took a knee before the national anthem, saying it represented great anger. But, the President did say that the Cowboys standing during the anthem represented big progress.
He echoed that opinion Wednesday morning when mentioning his conversation with Jones, saying players will stand for the country.
