Speak it, just don’t cower away from the reaction you’re going to get. So, yeah, if you’re saying it’s embarrassing, say it’s embarrassing. If you’re saying it to me, then say it to me. Don’t go back on it.”ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGAThe exchange unfolded as Prescott walked toward the locker room following the loss. Video captured a man calling the team’s performance “embarrassing,” prompting Prescott to turn toward him before asking a Cowboys employee to remove the man from the area.Although initially identified as a stadium employee, the man was later confirmed to be a driver for a third-party car service, according to The Dallas Morning News.Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer also addressed the incident, describing the criticism as “motivating.”“People are allowed to say what they want to say,” he told reporters.The loss dropped Dallas to 2-3 for the season, while Tampa Bay secured its first victory.Read More From First for SportsJohn Cena Reflects on ‘First Run-in’ With Dwayne Johnson During WWE Days: ‘That Was So Wrong of Me’Baltimore Orioles Axe Beloved Mascot Performer Mr. Splash, Team Photographer Amid ‘Bloodbath’ of LayoffsKobe Bryant ‘Kept Finding Excuses’ to See Catherine Zeta-Jones Before She Married Michael DouglasThis story Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Responds After Worker Calls Team’s Loss ‘Embarrassing’ first appeared on First for Sports.
