Sports commentator Skip Bayless drew criticism on Thursday for a remark made during ESPN's "First Take" program that was widely perceived as a tasteless joke targeting Dallas Cowboys players. The incident occurred during the November 5 broadcast, though the specific content of the comment was not detailed in initial reports.
Bayless, a longtime Cowboys supporter known for his provocative on-air style, has frequently generated controversy with his commentary on the franchise. The latest episode prompted immediate backlash on social media, with viewers and fellow analysts calling the remark inappropriate.
Neither ESPN nor Bayless had issued a public response as of Thursday evening. The network's "First Take" regularly features heated debates between Bayless and co-hosts, often centered on Dallas Cowboys storylines.
