So, pretty much the most ironic and poetically just thing, ever, happened today in the Cowboys locker room. Or, maybe it didn’t. I must insert the disclaimer, since so many n-word accusations turn out to be so much bunk. But if what I’m about to tell you truly went down as Dez Bryant says it did, this is beyond rich.
It all started Thursday afternoon during the Cowboys media availability session, when WR Dez Bryant began screaming at reporters. Which is Dez’ ritual for pretty much every day ending in “y.” However, this particular tirade took a major turn for the bizarre and unexpected.
“After walking around the locker room yelling and cursing at one reporter, Jean-Jacques Taylor of ESPNDallas.com, another reporter, Robert Klemko of Sports Illustrated's Monday Morning Quarterback, tweeted a portion of what Bryant had said.
The tweet read: "Dez Bryant just blew up on reporter, went on 10-min rant. 'Until they stop disrespecting this team I don't give a (expletive). (expletive) sick!'"
A few minutes later, Bryant saw the tweet — or was informed of it — and re-directed his rant toward Klemko.
"What the (expletive) are you doing?" Bryant yelled at Klemko. "If you're going to report something, report it right! Report the whole thing. Don't single me out like that! … That the (expletive) I'd be talking about right there!"”
The all-pro wideout claimed during his outburst that Taylor had called Cowboys wide receiver Devin Street a racial slur. The charge was uncorroborated by media members standing near the confrontation.”

Do you realize what this means?
Again, if true, this means that after spending nearly five days with the liberal sports media’s social justice engines cranked to full supernova levels as they congratulate militant, fascist activists for their “courage,” while ignoring their lies and presenting them as the meager idealists that they are most definitely not, an ESPN reporter called a professional athlete the n-word.
Now, it should be pointed out that the ESPN reporter Bryant accuses of using the racial slur is also black. Which is actually not surprising, considering that the n-word is used almost exclusively by black players, and in this case, allegedly, a sports reporter in an NFL locker room. But still, it’s a twist.
The other problem that’s going to have to be confronted by our faux journalists/SJW’s (Social Justice Warriors) in the sports media, is will they accept Bryant’s claim?
Remember, other than Fox’s Clay Travis, no member of the sports media has even attempted to critically delve into the nature of the facts surrounding what has happened at Mizzou. They’ve accepted it on faith because it comports with their worldview and they’ve capitalized on it and turned it into a revolutionary cause.
Other reporters deny the n-word was used, but Devin Street agrees with Dez Bryant. So, will the liberal sports media eschew the facts and overrule the deniers because black players felt marginalized? After all, as the media has always told us, it’s really about how you feel and self-identify at the end of the day.
The sports media believed the Missouri students were right to force Tim Wolfe to resign, and he had never been accused of using the n-word. Nor, was there any direct evidence he was a racist. Will they be intellectually consistent and fire, or demand the resignation of Jean Jacques-Smith because black players felt persecuted, even though there’s no evidence he did anything wrong?
I hope not. But wouldn’t that be consistent?
Former Cowboys WR Terrell Owens once told fans to “Get your popcorn ready,” when it comes to watching the leftist sports media deal with this monster that they helped unleash. We should grab some with extra butter.
