Dallas Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons noticed the “F–k Dallas” shirt that San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle wore on Sunday, and he addressed it on his podcast “The Edge” on Monday.
Kittle had three touchdowns against the Cowboys and the 49ers came away with a lopsided 42-10 win at Levi’s Stadium.
To rub salt in the wound, Kittle posted on social media a photo of him with the shirt on underneath his 49ers jersey during the game.
Some cameras had already caught him in the shirt the night before.
“George Kittle had three touchdowns on us and he posted this thing to IG,” Parsons said. “He said ‘F Dallas.’ I just feel like he’s making it way more personal than it had to be. Kittle is my guy, but Imma say this: laugh now, cry later.”
The message clearly didn’t sit well with Parsons, and he hinted that the Cowboys would respond if the two teams crossed paths again down the line.
“We got something for that, just trust” Parsons continued. “If we see them again, just trust and we gonna put it just like that. I ain’t gonna put too much on it. You gonna make it personal, we can make it personal. That’s cool.”
Sunday was the 49ers and Cowboys only scheduled meeting of the year, which would mean any retribution for the vulgar shirt would have to wait until a possible playoff meeting or the following season.
The win on Sunday was the 49ers’ fifth of the season, and the team remained undefeated.
Kittle had three receptions — all touchdown catches — for 62 yards.
The tight end — a four-time Pro Bowler — has 17 catches for 215 yards through the first five weeks of the season.
The 49ers face the Cleveland Browns next week, while the Cowboys take on the Chargers.
