Cowboy’s player, Josh Brent, was sitting on the sidelines on Saturdays game against the Steelers. Brent is the defensive tackle for the Cowboys. He was currently facing intoxication manslaughter charges for a car crash. The car crash killed Brent’s teammate, Jerry Brown. Cowboys say that he isn’t welcome on the sidelines any longer though. Some people say he belongs on the sidelines with his teammates, supporting them. But the coach and NFL agreed that he no longer sit on the sidelines. Many fans and news reporters were not happy about Brent sitting on the sidelines. Much criticism was made towards Brent and the coaches. One of the coaches said he didn’t even know Brent was out there until after the game started. An injured player on reserve had brought Brent out there with him. Fans thought it was disrespectful having Brent sitting on the sidelines smiling after he had killed one of his own teammates. Brent was asked to leave during the third quarter. Coaches say he will no longer be on the sidelines. For Cowboys, this is kind of a loss, but it’s a disgrace for what he did. He shouldn’t have been driving drunk. He gets paid millions to play football, and that’s what he should be doing now. He may have ruined his career, but coaches don’t know if he will be back or not.
