Cowboys: Micah Parsons isn't done taking shots at the NFL
It happens in almost every craft: When you become so dominant at what you do, you get a target on your back. Whether it be from people trying to overcome you and be more dominant, or it be an outside factor. Like referees: That has been the case for Dallas Cowboys star pass rusher Micah […]
It happens in almost every craft: When you become so dominant at what you do, you get a target on your back.
Whether it be from people trying to overcome you and be more dominant, or it be an outside factor.
Like referees: That has been the case for Dallas Cowboys star pass rusher Micah Parsons.
And he has not been shy about letting his voice be heard. And guess what? He did it again.
In a recent locker room interview, Parsons made his feelings known.
"It’s comical," Parsons told reporters on Wednesday. "It’s something that we shouldn’t call out any more. We all see what is going on (…). They're getting away with it. They want teams to score a lot of points. (….) They want fans to get excited, that’s what fans like. They like offense."
They want to protect these offensive guys. We just got to adapt and get off blocks better. Parsons' rationale is completely valid.
There are numerous times when holding has not been called in his favor, despite it being obvious to everyone in attendance.
To make matters even worse, Tyron Smith has been called for holding on the exact plays Micah Parsons is not getting the calls.
I try not to think the refs are doing this on purpose, but it almost is like they are turning a blind eye. We all know the league loves offense, it is what gets people's attention and keeps many tuned into games.
It's almost like they are missing these calls on purpose, due to the league's want for offense. Perhaps they also understand how long the game could get if they call every foul on Parsons.
One can only hope that is not the case, but the scales are being tipped too far in one ways direction. Things need to change.
