Football isn't a for the faint of heart. The Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence proved it's a brutal game on and off the field when he refused to give a young Giants fan an autograph.

Very NFLish of him.
They should be thankful that some fans still give a crap.
Well the next night he hosted 80 kids from the Boys and Girls Club for a night of bowling and then gave away 350 backpacks to kids in the Frisco community.
He also said, there are plenty of kids that come to a game that never get to meet a player. He won’t treat his kids any differently.
Karma is a b!tch, DeMarcus....
Fair enough.
Wait --even the OWNER..?
Yes.
Wasn't it some OTHER team..?
No.
” He won’t treat his kids any differently.”
Some would snub his own kids if they didn’t ‘wear the right jersey’?
I expect that peanut brain Kaepernick is cheering today on this solemn anniversary.
The bottom line is the kid got himself in position to ask for an autograph. Lawrence was already there and he stiffed the kid.
I don't care if he single handedly built a children's hospital and a Make-A-Wish amusement park the next day.
He stiffed the kid.
lol.....kids in the Frisco community don’t need give aways. One of the wealthiest communities in Texas
He did stiff the kid and he was a short sided fool to have done it not to mention hos complete insensitivity to the feelings of the kid.
If it were me I would have been more than happy to sign an autograph for a fan of a rival.
short sided
should be short sighted.
Why do people continue to support the NFL? Idiots.

Does he have a history of doing this or was it simply damage control since the story got out?
I read an article years ago about one of Cal Ripkin Jr’s first home games. A little kid came running up for an autograph, and he refused. His agent was with him and told him to sigh the autograph.
He told him that that kid was going to buy his shirts, hats etc. etc. and to never forget that. For the rest of his career, after a home game, Ripkin sat at the bottom of the aisle by first base and signed every autograph that people wanted. Sometimes for several hours.
I’ve never forgotten that.
Eh, people whine too much. You wear the opposing jersey you get nothing, everybody know that.
Agree. Who cares what happens within an anti-American organization like the NFL? Talking about this stuff is like discussing the internal happenings at Antifa or BLM.
