As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the upcoming NFL season, it seems that the Cowboys are facing a pretty brutal situation as there seems to be a bit of a feud between edge Micah Parsons and safety Malik Hooker.
The feud between the two defensive players started began when Malik Hooker seemed to call out Micah Parsons during a recent appearance on Keyshawn Johnson’s podcast as he implied that Micah Parsons might be more focused on his podcast than the team.
“My advice for Micah would be just make sure we’re all right,” Hooker said on Keyshawn Johnson’s podcast according to the Dallas Morning News. “Because if we’re at work and the run game’s terrible, but you’re doing a podcast every week and you know the run game is terrible, then what are you really caring about? Are you caring about the crowd that was watching the podcast or are you caring about the success of our team and the Super Bowl that we’re trying to reach?”
Parsons, meanwhile, was not happy with Hooker for calling him out publicly instead of reaching out to him privately.
“Just wish you said this to me but instead on some podcast! And you got my number family! @MalikHooker24 and you my locker mate!” Parsons wrote according to the Dallas Morning News. “So you coulda said this any day! And you do realize I shoot the podcast on our off day! I why ain’t we talking about everyone preparations and focus.”
Needless to say, it’s pretty brutal news for the Cowboys that two prominent players are openly feuding with each other, and the situation led to a lot of reactions on social media.
Boy getting soft focusing on podcasts instead of practicing

my TL is basically all Cowboys. Fans, Content, Media, etc…
and from what I have seen today, everyone has said "I have no problem with what Malik Hooker said."and a lot of them have said things like "finally, this is what we need" and things like that.

Micah seems to be exhausting to deal with https://t.co/DwRTLXtwVE

Clearly, this is something the two will need to work out before the start of the season.
