Texas is among the 45 states with a statewide stay-at-home (or similar) order to limit the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
In particular, Texas’ restrictions encourage social distancing and prohibit gatherings of 10 or more people. But the actual enforcement of those rules has varied from state-to-state. And according to a report from TMZ, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott skirted those rules with a large party this weekend at Prescott’s house in Prosper, Texas.
The TMZ report — which included video and photos — claimed that at least 30 guests were at Prescott’s house for a birthday party on Friday night. Though the number of people in attendance wasn’t clear from the photos, you could see that social-distancing rules were not being followed.
According to star-telegram.com, Prosper Police responded to reports of the party on Friday, but the officers could not verify that CDC guidelines were being violated. The paper also quoted a Prescott source who denied that the Cowboys quarterback violated social-distancing rules.
Still, this party came less than two weeks after Prescott was seen working out (and not social distancing) with Dez Bryant.
And the nonchalant attitude shown by Prescott in the wake of a global health crisis had plenty of fans upset.
