The NFL fined Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott $25,000 for his post-game comments about fans throwing trash at the referees following the Cowboys’ 23–17 loss to the 49ers on Sunday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
On Tuesday, hours after the National Basketball Referees Association issued a statement expressing its disapproval of Prescott’s initial comments, Prescott issued an apology. Prescott backtracked his initial comments and said he respects the league's officials.
“I hold the NFL Officials in the highest regard and have always respected their professionalism and the difficulty of their jobs,” Prescott said in his apology.
