Several Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders have claimed they were victims of insults by Packers players during last weekend’s wild-card round win over Green Bay.
Squad member Darian Lassister mentioned the lack of class she and her fellow cheerleaders witnessed during their seven-touchdown rush in Dallas on Sunday.
“I have never experienced such disrespect from the players on the other teams towards the cheerleaders in my five years as an NFL cheerleader,” she said Wednesday night in a now-viral video shared on TikTok.
“We would literally be minding our business and the Packers just score a touchdown – this is an example. They came up to us, stood on the sidelines and minded our own business, and started yelling at us.”
She then described feelings of contempt as she reflected on the ways the Packers had gotten in the faces of her and fellow cheerleaders.

Lassiter added that she will root for any team that eliminates the Packers from the postseason
“I feel like it’s unsportsmanlike conduct and it’s so crazy that they can’t do that to the Cowboys or other players, but they can do it to the cheerleaders and nothing’s going to happen,” she continued.
‘I understand that the play-offs are a big problem. “I really get it, but that doesn’t mean your humility and respect for women goes out the window.”
Lassiter concluded her 58-second video by saying she would support any team still in the playoffs except Green Bay now that the Cowboys are out.

What’s more is that a second Cowboys cheerleader echoed Lassiter’s claims in the segment of her video, while also seemingly traumatized by the experience on the sidelines.
“I was literally on the verge of tears,” fellow cheerleader Jensen Lynn responded to the video, as reported by Outkick.
The Packers pulled off a 48-32 loss to the Cowboys last Sunday to advance to the NFC Divisional round and a matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
Saturday’s game will be the record-breaking 10th playoff game between the two teams.
