Ex-NFL star Dez Bryant is slammed over ‘sexist’ tweet after he claimed he doesn’t like discussing football with ‘certain women who don’t know their role in talking a man’s game’

Former NFL star Dez Bryant was accused of sexism on Saturday night after saying he doesn't like “talking about football with certain women.”

Bryant had tweeted about the Bills-Chargers game, suggesting something was going on between Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs (who finished the game with just 29 receiving yards), when an account appearing to belong to a female football fan told him: 'chill.'

“Josh Allen is still a stud, and Diggs is killing it on the field… No need for all that unnecessary panic, okay?,” read “Laura’s” account.

Former Cowboys trustee Bryant then told the woman she 'didn't know' [her role],” and many X users felt his response crossed a line.

“I personally don't like talking about football with certain women because they don't know what their role is when it comes to talking about a man as a game,” he wrote.

But he angered fans when he said he 'doesn't like talking about football with certain women'

“I'll never tell you how to put on a skirt.”

Fans were quick to criticize the 35-year-old, with one saying: 'what a sexist.'

“Way too much eggnog today, time to log off,” another joked.

Another female football fan wrote, “Dez, I liked you when I watched the Cowboys with my ex. But this is NOT the right look. Women love this game and know the game just as well as men and you can say 'sure!' Women as scapegoats; but tell me what you mean. Smh, this is low.

However, Bryant continued to defend his point.

'I will never tell a woman how to have a baby. I will never tell Serena how to play tennis [racket] “I will never tell Tiger Woods how to swing a golf club,” he wrote.

“No woman or man who doesn't know much about the game will ever tell me how to do a 3-step slant versus man or zone or a bang 8 versus man or zone without spending quality years on the game.”

He added that it “makes every woman feel like I'm talking to them,” saying, “You have women who know the game and those women know I wasn't talking about them.”

He also claimed, “Maybe I live with CTE.”

Some women respected Bryant's opinion.

“Hey Dez. I believe I can talk to anyone about football so I don't think you were talking about me,” one person wrote. “As such, I am not offended.”

Another said, “I hear you don't talk to certain people about topics you are well versed in. Me neither, I absolutely agree.

Then they added, “But that skirt comment? Not so much.'

Bryant, a 2010 first-round pick, played eight seasons with the Cowboys and was named to three Pro Bowls in Dallas.

He played one final season for the Ravens in 2020.
