Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has seemingly welcomed a stadium worker angrily calling out his quarterback Dak Prescott after the team’s loss last week.
Prescott was involved in a heated clash with an individual who heckled him as he made his way back to the locker room following the shock defeat by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
As Prescott was making his way back to the locker room at the end of the game, a man could be heard in the tunnel shouting ’embarrassing’ in his direction.
Prescott looked over in disgust before saying to a Cowboys staffer: ‘Tough guy. Get his a** out of here.’
According to Pro Football Talk, the worker was a driver hired by a third-party contractor.
Speaking about the incident on Tuesday, however, Jones seemingly agreed with the fan’s position and refused to rush to his quarterback’s defense.

He said on 105.3 The FAN: ‘It doesn’t impact me at all. The driver in question was not an employee.
‘Fans can express themselves, and should express themselves. Whether he was our employee or not, he was a fan, it sounds like. I’m for our fans expressing themselves.’
Tensions were high in the stadium as the Cowboys slipped to 2-3 with billionaire owner and general manager Jones seen slamming his hands on the table in front of him after Prescott threw a game-sealing interception.
Enraged, Jones was seen slamming his hands on the table in front of him after the game was effectively ended. With the result solidified, Prime Video cameras then caught Jones exiting the building before the clock had officially hit zeroes.
When Jones was later seen walking past the media, he did so without addressing anyone as he scratched his brow before entering the locker room.
Jones later told reporters he was ‘extraordinarily disappointed’ before adding: ‘We really do need to get it done… it was a tough loss for us.’
Speaking about the incident in the tunnel moments after it happened, Prescott said: ‘When he said it I just happened to look at him, and at that point he looked away, didn’t look, and when I turned my head back, he said something else.
‘So that’s the part that, just as a man or a person, feel free to speak your mind. Just speak it. Don’t coward away from the reaction that you’re going to get. If you’re saying it’s embarrassing, say it’s embarrassing. If you’re saying it to me, say it to me. Don’t go back on it.
‘That’s all it was. I hate that it’s even being talked about, to be honest with you.’
