Draymond Green is changing his tune after calling Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott “a bum”.
Green made the declaration in an Oct. 30 episode of his “Why is Draymond Green Talking About Football?” podcast with Jordan Schultz, saying Prescott’s inability to perform in the playoffs makes him such.
In the latest episode of the podcast released Wednesday, Green apologized for the comments.
“I’ve been around Dak, I’ve met Dak, and I think he’s a great football player,” Green said. “I do want to say, since I said publicly that he’s a bum, I do want to publicly say I apologize…”
“… Just as a fellow athlete, I think I’d be pissed off if I looked up and another athlete was saying ‘Draymond is a bum,’ I’d be pissed. So, I’m man enough to say when I was wrong, I was definitely wrong on that.”
Even though he is remorseful for the language used, Green maintains his point that Prescott does not perform when it matters most.
“I still think when it gets to the moment, I don’t think he can deliver,” Green said. “But I do apologize with the way that I categorized him as a bum, he’s definitely not a bum.”
Green continued his explanation of his viewpoint on Thursday’s episode of “The Draymond Green Show.”
“I’m not someone who gets hype off of regular season statistics or big games in the regular season if you can’t back them up in the playoffs, and that’s what I was speaking to,” Green explained. “But Dak is a good brotha, I got the utmost respect for Dak Prescott. The way people took the word ‘bum,’ I don’t want it to be taken that way. So, I am a man, I can apologize and say I was wrong. I don’t think Dak’s a bum.”
Although he doesn’t believe in Prescott’s playoff ability, Green shows his regret for the comments he made.
