After the overtime win against the Giants, owner Jerry Jones explained his decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jonmachota\/status\/1967354155221307742\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">We just all abhor violence<\/a>,\u201d Jones said, via Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com. \u201cAnd it\u2019s impacting us all. And, certainly, we all stand together on any front, relative to the threat of violence. . . . I was a young guy, but aware, in the \u201860s when we had huge violence, lost President Kennedy and his brother and many, many others, Martin Luther King. It\u2019s something that we all really need to just be aware of, support our law enforcement, and do everything we can to keep the violence in check.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is no place for political violence in a civilized society. Unfortunately, it\u2019s starting to feel like the \u201860s all over again, with assassinations and attempted assassinations happening far too often.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also no simple answer. It\u2019s easy to say we need to unite as a nation. It\u2019s proving to be difficult to accomplish that.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, our leaders on both sides of the aisle will set aside politics and commit to the greater good that we all should strive to achieve. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne nation. Under God. Indivisible. With liberty and justice for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We say those words every time we recite the Pledge of Allegiance. It\u2019s time for all of us to start living them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After directing the Packers to observe a moment of silence one day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":228295,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,1596,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-228294","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-texas","11":"tag-tx","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-united-states-of-america","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115207428360614651","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228294\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
