Dallas Cowboys outside linebacker Micah Parsons didn’t take too kindly to San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle’s choice of shirt on Sunday night.
Indeed, on his weekly podcast, Parsons called out Kittle for wearing a shirt under his uniform and pads that said “(Expletive) Dallas” on it during his team’s Sunday night bout with the Cowboys.
He feels that Kittle’s choice of shirt made the game way more personal than it had to be. The 49ers will “laugh now, cry later” to Parsons, hinting his feelings that the Cowboys would be able to defeat Kittle’s team in the playoffs if the two sides met again in January.

Parsons already caught flak for saying that the game’s final score wasn’t indicative of how the Cowboys and 49ers actually are, and he’s surely going to get some more for how he’s responded to Kittle’s shirt here.
It’s not that Parsons should approve of the wardrobe choice; it’s sports, he should defend his team, and it’s fine if he wants to make this personal.
However, the Cowboys just got beat 42-10, so he’s going to have to wait until Dallas proves that they’re better on the field to get people to believe his hints that they could be.
