Troy Aikman Under Fire for ‘Take the Dresses Off’ Comment on ‘Monday Night Football’
New York Post ^ | October 11, 2022 | Jaclyn Hendricks

Troy Aikman is under fire following a controversial remark uttered on the “Monday Night Football” broadcast of the Chiefs-Raiders game.

While discussing a questionable roughing the passer call in the first half after Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones hit Raiders quarterback Derek Carr from behind, Aikman remarked, “My hope is the competition committee looks at this in the next set of meetings and, you know, we take the dresses off.”

Though the call itself sparked outrage – given there had been another controversial roughing the passer penalty just one day prior involving Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett – Twitter users called out Aikman over his choice of words, which some had deemed “sexist.”

This Veteran has zero respect for the Military-hating Aikman.

During a hot mic moment at an nfl broadcast in 2020, here is the exchange between Aikman and fellow military-hating Joe Buck re a Military jet flyover at the conclusion of our National Anthem...

Aikman: “That’s a lot of jet fuel just to do a little flyover”

Buck: “That’s your hard-earned money and your tax dollars at work,”

Aikman: “That stuff ain’t happening with a Kamala-Biden ticket. I’ll tell you that right now, partner.”

And, in the next breath, these two morons would be singing the praises of some new, chic NFL stadium paid with billions in taxpayer dollars.

It was a reference to a comment Jack Lambert said years ago, “Quarterbacks should wear dresses.”

When I heard it, I thought Troy was being sarcastic.

He needs to double down. Next MNF there will be another opportunity to slip it in because......it’s football.

Actually this could become part of his brand. Dallas. Cowboys. Steers. Queers.

I knew Troy would be sorry if he went to ESPN. Let’s hope ESPN is smart enough to drop this.
