The Dallas Cowboys held a team meeting following owner Jerry Jones' comments that any player disrespecting the flag would not play, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Rapoport notes the meeting was to discuss the anthem issue and to air out frustrations.

Jones made headlines Sunday when he stated the Cowboys would "stand up for the flag."

"But if there is anything that is disrespectful to the flag we will not play," Jones said. "You understand? If we are disrespecting the flag we won't play. Period. We're going to respect the flag."

Jones' comments prompted Local 100 of the United Labor Unions to file a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board over the issue.
