Jason Garrett And Cowboys Standing Behind Dez Bryant

ARTICLE FROM si.com (Full story click here)

As a sports fan I have been following the Dez Bryant story that has been in the news the last few days. I have been listening to sports radio hosts like JT The Brick on Fox Sports radio and others put Bryant on full blast because a story is out that he hit his mother. His mom called 911 to say he hit her with a hat or something like that.

But when I was listening to JT The Brick’s radio show, at least four callers who had knowledge of the situation between Dez Bryant and his mom called in. All of them said that Dez Bryant’s mom has a crack problem. They also said that Bryant bought the house she is living in and where the arguement took place. They all said JT was wrong to get on the radio and make Bryant look like a “thug” or “bad guy”.

Also Bryant has tried to help his mom get off of using crack. And also the callers said when Bryant went to the house, his mom and others were using  and smoking crack. And that this was not the first time this has happened and that Dez was fed up with this happening and he got upset.

Readers I AM NOT SAYING IT WAS RIGHT FOR DEZ BRYANT TO HIT HIS MOM IF HE DID THAT. This is very very important for me to say. But having said that. I would be pissed off to if I paid big dollars for a nice house that my mom is in and she is constantly having crack being smoked in the house.

But of course if you read the online blogs and listen to sports radio and read the newspaper, Dez Bryant is being labled as a “thug” because of his past problems and because he might have hit his mother.

I think it is very unfair for folks to say this about Dez Bryant when folks DO NOT know the full story because WE WERE NOT THERE!!! There is always two sides to a story. We cannot take just one side. I was not there. For all we know Dez’s mom could have tried to attack his son with something. We don’t know because we were not there.

Finally I am glad to see Dallas Cowboy head coach Jason Garrett standing behind Bryant. Giving him the support he needs. You CANNOT say Bryant is guilty of something if we do not know the full story. But for sports radio this is nothing new when it comes to blasting African Americans and people of color over the air at will. This has to stop!
