Multiple Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders have come out to criticize Green Bay players following an NFL Playoff matchup against the Packers.
They say that they were “on the verge of tears” because of the actions of the opposing team.
Dallas was beat soundly in the contest, losing 48-32 to their NFC rival. The defeat effectively ended the team’s season, ruining any hopes of a Super Bowl run.
Questions surrounding the futures of head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Dak Prescott immediately arose as those that support the franchise expressed frustration.
Green Bay, on the other hand, was ecstatic.
Excited about advancing to the next round, players and fans celebrated while dishing out a little smack talk to their opponent. Cowboys cheerleaders say the Packers took it a step too far.
Darian Lassiter took to TikTok to vent about what transpired over the weekend, getting support from a teammate in the comments section.

“At the Cowboys versus Packers game Sunday, I have never experienced such disrespect from the other team’s players,” Lassiter claimed.
“[The Packers] would come up to us standing on the sidelines, minding our own business, and start yelling at us. Sometimes, it was this close,” she continued while holding her hand inches from her face.
“I feel like that’s unsportsmanlike conduct. It’s so crazy how they can’t do that to the Cowboys players, but they can do it to the cheerleaders and nothing’s going to happen. I understand the playoffs is a huge deal, but that does not mean your humbleness and respect for women flies out the window.”
A teammate, Jensen Merrill, backed Lassiter’s story in the comments section, replying, “Literally was on the verge of tears.”
Zach Dean of Outkick notes that the Packers are one of seven teams without a cheerleading squad of their own.
Side note: did you know Green Bay is one of seven teams in the NFL with no cheerleaders?… The other six? Bills, Bears, Browns, Chargers, Giants and Steelers.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys boast the most popular team in professional sports.
Emotions were certainly high throughout that playoff win, but these cheerleaders say the Packers were out of line.
As for Lassiter, she says she’ll be rooting for anyone but Green Bay this postseason.
