Cowboys ‘Micah Parsons Slams 'Rip-Off' Universal Theme Park

Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons took issue with the high prices at Universal Studios Orlando

It seems that Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons didn't have the getaway he was hoping for. 

On Monday, the Cowboys star took to Twitter to voice his outrage over the high prices at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. He went so far as to call the prices at the popular theme park a "rip off." Apparently, his biggest issue was having to pay for all three parks, Universal Studios Florida, Universal's Islands of Adventure and the water park Volcano Bay, separately. 

"Universal studios is a rip off man!!" Parsons wrote. "You gotta pay for 3 different parks?!! Man where is the love for the people?!"  

Parsons also compared the pricing to theme parks in his home state of Pennsylvania. He claimed that Universal cost him roughly $250 per person for access to all three parks, whereas Hersheypark in Pennsylvania only cost him around $85 for everything.

Some Twitter users criticized Parsons for complaining about the price despite making millions in the NFL, but the linebacker didn't back down. In particular, he noted how being a father doesn't allow him the budget he would like.

"I got kids man! My budget ain’t the same!!" Parsons wrote.

Parsons' budget may not be as much of an issue in the future going forward, though. The star linebacker is eligible for a new extension next offseason, and given that he has been an All-Pro in each of his first two seasons, that could be one of the biggest contracts for any defensive players in the history of the league.

Maybe then, Parsons would consider giving Universal another chance. Regardless, the Cowboys star certainly isn't afraid to say what's on his mind.
