Dak Prescott on Wednesday revealed the cause of Jace Prescott's death as a suicide in an interview with “In Depth with Graham Bensinger.” Prescott also revealed he was already dealing with his own issues of anxiety and depression when the news broke."I'm going to ask our audience to feel free to go ahead and condemn me, if you choose, as cold-blooded and insensitive on this issue. I have deep compassion for clinical depression. But when it comes to the quarterback of an NFL team — you know this better than I do — it's the ultimate leadership position in sports, am I right about that? You are commanding an entire franchise. What's the roster now, 53, still? But you're commanding a lot of young me and some older men.
And they're all looking to you to be their CEO, to be in charge of their football team. Because of all that, I don't have sympathy for him going public with, 'I got depressed. I suffered depression early in COVID to the point where I couldn't even go work out.' Look, he's the quarterback of 'America's Team.'"
Yup. I don't pay any attention to himHe's playing a scripted character for views. Nice does not sell and doesn't get attention. Outrageous does.
skip used to get on my nerves with his viewpoints and the homerism. but he says things for ratings. nothing to see here.
Prescott was widely applauded for his openness on mental health, an issue with a stigma that’s often magnified in sports.“Because our adversities, our struggles, what we go through is always gonna be too much for ourselves and maybe too much for even one or two people, but never too much for a community or too much for people in the family that you love. So you have to share these things,” Prescott said.
“Being a leader is about being genuine and being real,” Prescott said in a statement released by the Cowboys’ official website. “As I said, if I wouldn’t have talked about those things to the people I did, I wouldn’t have realized my friends and a lot more people go through them.”
"His white side" that Dak Prescott has been cooning to;
The police side that he gave $300k to in the midst of the
George Floyd protests???
Skip needs to be fired and I don't understand why it hasn't happened already.
Skip is fighting his own demons so he doesn't have empathy. He's been pretending to not be gay for 40 years
I was trying to holla at you about this...
I am genuinely SHOCKED Bo is trying to cape for homeboy.
