NFL legend Troy Aikman slammed for misogynistic ‘take your dress off’ comment on air
The Dallas Cowboys legend, Troy Aikman, and the entire NFL community are growing increasingly dissatisfied with refereeing. Chris Jones, a defensive lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs, sacked Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr on Monday night and received a roughing the passer penalty. The call was roundly booed by Chiefs supporters.
The language of the regulations suggests that the officials thought Jones hit Carr with all of his weight. This is against what seems to be a rule that is continually changing.
After making a contentious comment during the “Monday Night Football” coverage of the Chiefs-Raiders game, Troy Aikman has been targeted. In the first half, Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones struck Raiders quarterback Derek Carr from behind, leading to a controversial roughing the passer call, which Aikman commented, “My hope is the competition committee looks at this in the next set of meetings and, you know, we take the dresses off.”
NFL World Responds To Troy Aikman’s Divisive Remark
Brandon Scott said I don’t feel like “take the dresses off” is the euphemism ESPN wants Troy Aikman to use when criticizing a weak roughing-the-passer call.
Some Twitter users criticized Aikman for his choice of words, which some considered “sexist,” despite the fact that the call itself caused outrage given that another contentious roughing the passer penalty had been issued just one day earlier involving Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett.
Did Troy Aikman actually say what I interpreted him to have said? Did he just actually remark that the league has to “take the gowns off”? The 1960s have returned, and they want their chauvinists. “Do better than that junk, seriously ” tweeted Jason Page.
Another tweet read, “Wow. This is the message Aikman is sending to our youth? Troy Aikman take some time and think about the harmful narrative you’re peddling”.
