Cowboys Stadium Asks Couple to Take Down 'Support Our Troops' Banner
A north Texas couple said the Dallas Cowboys made them take down a sign supporting our troops. Multimedia Karen Williams and her husband are both veterans and have a son in the army. The Cowboys organization told them they had to take down the banner on Sunday when the Cowboys hosted Seattle. A Cowboys spokesperson simply says it is a new stadium rule. Friday, Nov 6 at 2:12 PM Dale Rowland wrote ...I was at the game and no banners were hanging, not even the Super Bowl Banners were hanging. New stadium new rule, no problem. The fans were allowed to hold up banners and signs in between plays as long as they did not impede the view of other fans. I'm a Veteran of 20 years and I don't take offense to this. I don't believe it was "an attack on our patriotism". Like Jim said must have been a slow news week! GO COWBOYS!!

Our country in a whole is quickly forgetting the men and women who have given their lives for the freedom we have today. Thursday, Nov 5 at 2:11 PM DJ wrote ...This is an ongoing problem. Patriotism is under attack by people who love the freedoms provided, but despise America. Everything from this incident to apartment complexs banning the flag to hospitals banning the flag because someone is "offended". Patriotism is under attack. Thursday, Nov 5 at 1:25 PM Jim wrote ...It's actually a simple rule. You can hold up signs, you just can't "hang" them. It has nothing to do with it being a support the troops sign.

Dear "Dale Rowland", I think you have left out an important issue: would you have a problem if the banner *were* allowed to be displayed? And you, "john", thinking that "we should not be in iraq anyway", why are you against supporting our troops? Thanks a lot, dude. And no, it is NOT a "slow news day". What do you got against our troops? They are AWESOME, and so is this family with the banner. Get a clue, dude.
