Dak Prescott takes heat from Dallas Nine protester after Cowboys game arrests (barf alert)

Arminta “Cleo” Jeffryes wants Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott to realize some things are bigger than football.

In a phone interview Wednesday, after spending 2 1/2 days in jail for protesting outside a Cowboys game over the weekend, the 25-year-old Lyft driver and self-described “radical” activist criticized Prescott for not following the example set by Colin Kaepernick.

“He’s so wack for that,” Jeffryes said of Prescott. “As a black man you should want to speak out against police brutality and racial injustice. You have a black father. One day you will have black children.”

Prescott told reporters in July that he’d never protest during the national anthem and said social justice demonstrations at sporting events negate the “joy and the love that football brings” to many Americans.

“The game of football has always brought me such a peace, and I think it does the same for a lot of people,” Prescott said. “When you bring such a controversy to the stadium, to the field, to the game, it takes away from that.”

Jeffryes, a New York City native, is one of the Dallas Nine protesters arrested Sunday night for allegedly blocking traffic while marching in the middle of Randol Mill Road near AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Jeffryes said she believes authorities were trying to send protesters a message to discourage others from disrupting Cowboys games.

“They’re trying to do a scare tactic, but luckily ain’t nobody scared,” she said. “We can’t disclose the next move, but we will be out again. Be on the lookout.”

This thing and her boyfriend were also pictured in an unprintable photo of her in a "F*** The Police" shirt, and he in an "ANTI-Police" shirt, with their one-year-old on his shoulders.

Well since the City of Arlington provided over $325 million for the Cowboy stadium this is a public building. Since the NFL has allowed the players to protest, then this lady’s 1st and 14th rights have been violated.

The Left has to destroy anybody who doesn’t agree with it.

Yeah, anti-police until the gangs start shooting them, then they bitch because the police didn’t get there fast enough. Hey...stupid! Pick a position and stop the “cake and eat it too” crap.

When I think of racial injustice, I think of the crime statistics which show thousands of white people targeted by blacks for robbery, rape, and murder.

That's my idea of racial injustice.

I thought the same thing. If they were protesting the way that he and the Cowboys played, I could fully understand that. As far as Kaepernik, he can go to hell..

Who knew Trey Gowdy was Dak Prescott’s teammate?

I want just one good reason that Jason Garrett should spend one more day as head coach of the Cowboys.
