Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has taken the initiative to ensure that the team’s support staff feels appreciated this holiday season. In a recent episode of Hard Knocks In Season, Prescott rallied his teammates to contribute to annual Christmas bonuses for those who work tirelessly behind the scenes, including equipment managers and practice personnel.
At 32, Prescott understands the importance of recognizing the efforts of those who contribute to the team’s daily operations, highlighting the need to give back. “While we, as players and coaches, are well-compensated, these other people do a lot for us, and we want to help contribute to them just to say thank you,” Prescott stated. He encouraged his teammates to show generosity, urging them with the phrase, “Don’t be cheap.”
In addition to their financial contributions, the Cowboys have been making a positive impact in the community this December. Although they may be out of the playoff race, Prescott and other players like Trevon Diggs have visited children’s hospitals in North Texas, spreading joy and holiday spirit. One heartwarming moment captured was a young fan named Case, who was filled with excitement upon meeting the NFL stars.
This initiative by Prescott and the Cowboys underscores the importance of community and gratitude during the holiday season, as they not only recognize their support staff but also uplift their local community through acts of kindness.
