Outraged reaction to NFL decision not to allow Dallas players to wear pro-police decals

By Rick Moran

When the National Football League denied a request from the Dallas Cowboys to wear pro-police decals on their helmets, it set off a firestorm of protest from conservatives and pro-police groups. Critics say that the decision was hypocritical given what the league has allowed players to wear previously.

 

Washington Times:

 

Supporters have decried the NFL’s ban on the “Arm in Arm” helmet decals, which players have worn during practices as a “display of unity” with Dallas police following the July 7 massacre of five officers by an anti-police sniper at a Black Lives Matter protest.

 

“The NFL had an opportunity to be leaders and advocates for change in law enforcement,” Sgt. Demetrick Pennie, president of the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation, told TMZ Sports after the Wednesday ruling.
