Skip Bayless Has Zero ‘Sympathy’ For Dak Prescott’s Depression Over Brother’s Suicide, Gets Ripped By Twitter (VIDEO + TWEETS)

Skip Bayless is obviously in his line of work for clicks and attention. We all know that.

But what he said about Dak Prescott on Thursday is so awful and void of any shred of compassion. Just wow.

What an absolute shame that @FS1 let it be on television. https://t.co/npbHst4EhL

In the 90s, Skip Bayless made an unsubstantiated claim that Troy Aikman was gay

Many of us knew & kept quiet b/c it's not our place to make that information public.

To see Dak open up, and in a world where men are VILIFIED for needing therapy to fight depression (especially MEN OF COLOR), and perpetuate that toxic construct?

YOU ARE TRASH @RealSkipBayless. https://t.co/wV6sGfvZL6

Dak Prescott basically said: I'm a human being, I can be vulnerable at times. It's been a really hard year for me, & I want to normalize mental wellness & admitting when we aren't OK.

And Skip Bayless basically said: nah, toxic masulinity is the way for me b/c football.

Clown.

Skip Bayless' disgusting criticism of Cowboys QB Dak Prescott for opening up about his depression began with him telling his @FS1 audience "Feel free to condemn me as cold-blooded and insensitive."

Yeah, that's the least of it. Add horrifying and inhuman.

I’ve known the venomous @RealSkipBayless personally for 30 years. What’s he’s doing to @dak he’s done to countless others. I’ve spoken loudly about this; some of you never understood. But now I trust you know why I call him ‘The Human Hemmorhoid.’

Shame on you, Bayless. pic.twitter.com/yQnEvLFrN9

What Skip Bayless said today is the reason why there’s a stigma about depression. It’s the reason why people are afraid to open up.

Don’t listen to him.

It takes so much strength to open up about depression, like Dak Prescott did. It’s OK to not be OK. It’s OK to get help.

Dak Prescott’s brother died in April of an apparent suicide.

Dak battled depression.

Dak showed courage and bravery to maybe help someone who is afraid to speak up.

Skip Bayless has ZERO COMPASSION because Dak plays QB in the #NFL and showing weakness.

Wow.#DallasCowboys pic.twitter.com/EzrhORx65b

What Skip Bayless said about Dak Prescott on Thursday is embarrassing and potentially harmful to a lot of people.

An absolute disgrace.
