Cowboys star Micah Parsons stayed true to his thoughts about the media’s treatment of his team with reporters during a Wednesday news conference.
Prior to the Cowboys bye week, Parsons blasted the media for its coverage of quarterback Dak Prescott and the team following Dallas’s 20-17 win on the road against the Chargers. The All-Pro edge rusher said his team receives more criticism from the media than the other teams in the NFC East.
On Wednesday, Parsons doubled down on his stance against the media, referring to them as “big bullies” that will have “something to say” no matter if Dallas wins or loses.
“People think I’m shying from criticism,” Parsons said, per Clarence Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “No. Criticism is not the problem. Just criticize everyone with the same energy. They’re just as a big a bullies as these other guys. People decide who wants to give breaks to. I wasn’t raised like that. I treat everybody the same. I talk about everybody the same, give everyone the same benefit of the doubt. That’s the type of real person that I stand on. A lot of these dudes ain’t real.”
Dallas (4-2) will return to action on Sunday as the Cowboys host the Rams at 4:25 p.m. ET.
