FS1 personality Craig Carton is under fire after giving an awful take on Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott becoming a father.
Prescott and his girlfriend, Sarah Jane Ramos, announced last weekend that the couple would be welcoming a baby daughter into the world soon. That news was met with plenty of support from around the sports world… except from Carton, who embarrassed himself with an ugly take on the situation on FS1’s The Carton Show.
“That’s a mistake,” Carton said as soon as he heard on the show of Prescott’s announcement. “That changes everything. There goes the Cowboys’ season… this is a terrible distraction now for Dak Prescott.
“You’ve got everything going great. The last thing you need right now is a distraction.”
Here’s a video of Craig Carton (@craigcartonlive ) saying Dak Prescott becoming a father is a “mistake” and a “distraction” while questioning if Dak Prescott’s girlfriend is a gold digger for no reason 👍

Carton also questioned whether Prescott’s girlfriend could be a “gold digger” since the two aren’t married.
“I hope they have a beautiful, healthy child. I hope it all works out. But this is not what Cowboys fans want to hear,” Carton said.
The comments from longtime controversial radio host do seem like they were made at least partially in jest, but that doesn’t excuse the awful dialogue. The clip has since gone viral, and Carton has taken plenty of heat from NFL fans.
Disgusting. People just say anything these days. https://t.co/GSdVy6yazW

Stafford has kids. Cousins has kids. Romo, Brady, Peyton, Eli, Brees, Ryan, Flacco & Roethlisberger all had kids while playing. Hell, Philip Rivers had enough kids to populate a small town. I don’t remember anyone saying anything about them being a “mistake” or “distraction”. 🤨 https://t.co/I0nUdCa9e2

There’s plenty of good sports TV out there. The highs are very high.
