Dallas Cowboys' Micah Parsons Reacts to Dak Prescott 'Hate' & Hypocrisy from Media
Dallas Cowboys star "lion-backer" Micah Parsons has had enough of the media's "bashing" of quarterback Dak Prescott and the team as a whole. In a recent edition of his "The Edge" podcast, Parsons provided quite the soundclip on his thoughts about the media's treatment of his quarterback and team.
“I just don’t condone the bashing of Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys ... (critics should) have the same energy for the Eagles," Parsons said. "We want the same energy for everybody. Because there’s a whole bunch of bashing when it’s Dak Prescott, but not the same when it’s the Eagles."
Parsons wasn't happy with how the mainstream media reacted to the Philadelphia Eagles 20-14 loss to the New York Jets and even called them out for their treatment of the San Francisco 49ers after they lost to the Cleveland Browns.
The Cowboys' star edge rusher isn't necessarily wrong. Look no further than FS1's "Speak" for an example of hypocrisy: following Dallas's 42-10 loss to the Niners, former running back and now-turned-analyst LeSean McCoy said Prescott was the reason they lost because they couldn't "hide him," citing his three interceptions.

However, after the Eagles' loss to the Jets, in which Jalen Hurts also threw three picks, McCoy didn't use the same colorful vocabulary as he once did to describe Prescott's play after a game where he just had two picks; he said Philly's star quarterback was just "bad."
But it wasn't "Shady" who Parsons took particular issue with. Instead, Parsons called out McCoy's partner Emmanuel Acho for listing excuses to explain the Niners' loss.
“The Browns were missing Deshaun Watson, Nick Chubb. They were missing [those] key factors before the game even started. So why is it that we are just scrubs and we’re nobodies that don’t deserve to be on the field, and we’re just all talk, but there are 100 excuses for these other teams?
“If y’all just gonna hate Cowboys Nation, just say y’all hate Cowboys Nation,” Parsons said.
