In 2017, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones gave his players an ultimatum: Stand up or don’t play.

The Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James voiced his displeasure against Jones and the Cowboys Thursday night in an Instagram Live video.

“There was just a lot of things that was going on during when guys were kneeling, and guys were having freedom of speech,” James said. “They wanted to do it in a very peaceful manner. A lot of people in their front office and a lot of people that ran the organization was like, ‘If you do that around here, then you will never play for this franchise again.’ And I just didn’t think that was appropriate.”
