Dallas Cowboys rookie linebacker Micah Parsons is as outspoken as rookies get, so not too surprising that it didn’t take very long into his NFL career to get caught up in a Twitter beef with a football analyst.
After the Cowboys made a roster move, Parsons didn’t take too kindly to the analysis of FOX analyst Emmanuel Acho and the two went back and forth on Twitter. The Cowboys released Jaylon Smith this week, with the immediate reaction being this will place more focus on Micah Parsons in the Cowboys defense.
Watch Acho’s take below:
The #Cowboys should hate the release of Jaylon Smith because they love 1st round pick Micah Parsons and this adds more to his plate.
Parsons was already asked to do too much last week. Look how it cost him and the #Cowboys points. @SFY pic.twitter.com/dP8UkFHHzw

See the back and forth below:
I don’t think you have any idea what ur talking about and once again this is a horrible take!

I respect your opinion, your game as an on the ball LB & your agent too much to go back & forth.
The big eye in the sky don’t lie. My job is to make television, your job is to make tackles. Based on our profile pics, looks like we both winning. Keeping doing you, I’ll do me 🤝.

Parsons had to respond to that comment and let Acho know he is on a mission to prove his doubter wrong.
I mean we def go in the drawing board together to prove how wrong you are! All im saying don’t post stuff on social media that’s not true!! Until you actually know the coverage and job obligation of each player on the field ! Cause actually me and Jaylon was right!! Soo?!

Parsons later moved along from his exchange with Acho, but the conversation clearly left Parsons fuming, leading to this tweet summarizing the whole situation.
It’s sad how so many so called “analysts” go on and talk bad about players and have no idea wtf they are talking about!

This is how athletes can fight back against analysts.
I’m all for twitter wars, the more the merrier!
