Prescott recently said during a press conference, “I’d never protest during the anthem, and I don’t think that’s the time or the venue to do so. The game of football has always brought me such peace, and I think it does the same for a lot of people.”
He also added, “When you bring such a controversy to the stadium, to the field, to the game, it takes away … from that.

Tahir Whitehead of the Oakland Raiders wrote, “Sounds like Dak don’t wanna lose that Campbells Chunky Soup deal.”
Twitter also dragged Dak:
