Micah Parsons draws social media ire for his rough play
Playing as a linebacker is a very demanding job, and when the match was as physical as yesterday’s, the less said, the better. Dallas Cowboys Linebacker Micah Parsons last night caught the attention of social media when one of his tackles went viral. The Dallas player instantly took to social media to clear the air and reasoned that he couldn’t have done any better.
“Lol this was roughing the passer! Never been a dirty guy! But can someone teach me how I could have played this better?!,” the linebacker tweeted.

Last night’s saw the Cowboys establish a franchise record with 166 penalty yards. Logically, everyone was upset, including the coach, and all had harsh words for the officiating standards. Cowboys Linebacker Micah Parsons also shared similar sentiments and believed that they fell victim to some really awful calls. “I feel bad for my guys cause I know some of the penalties were 50/50; some would say really bad calls,” Parsons said.
Parsons further emphasised on the injustice by talking about the aggressiveness in football. “It doesn’t matter. At the end of the day, football is an aggressive game and you’re gonna attack the ball, and you’re gonna play through the ball, and you’re gonna play the defender. End of the day, it’s gonna come to a point and time. Where when are you going to let us truly play?”
Do you think that the Cowboys and Micah are being wrongfully targeted? Let us know!
