Many fans and analysts argue that the tweet normalizes gun culture in a league where off-field behavior is under growing scrutiny. Others suggest it's a tone-deaf defense that risks inflaming an already sensitive topic. The backlash highlights how quickly public trust can erode when high-profile figures, even indirectly, weigh in on legal matters.

What’s more concerning for the Cowboys is the potential damage to their locker room image. With the team aiming for a serious playoff run, distractions like these threaten more than reputation — they risk team chemistry. While Parsons himself hasn’t directly commented, his silence only fuels speculation.
