Dak Prescott, the star quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, might have thought he was sharing a joyful moment with his fans, but things quickly took a sour turn. When Prescott revealed his engagement to longtime girlfriend Sarah Jane Ramos, along with the news of their newborn daughter, it was meant to be a celebration. But instead of congratulations, some Cowboys fans unleashed a wave of harsh criticism.

Prescott, who recently signed a massive contract extension, took to Instagram to announce the engagement in a heartfelt post featuring himself, Ramos, and their daughter, affectionately referred to as “Baby MJ.” The caption read, “4ever w/@sarahjane,” sparking what should have been a feel-good moment.

However, things took a different direction when the details of the engagement ring emerged. Prescott, with his lucrative $240 million contract, proposed with a 10-carat emerald-cut ring, reportedly worth $1 million. Crafted by celebrity jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills, the ring was described as a perfect blend of classic and modern by the jeweler himself.

While most might assume such a grand gesture would be met with admiration, some Cowboys fans weren’t pleased. The timing of the announcement, coming off the heels of a Cowboys loss, led to a barrage of negative comments. Critics online blasted Prescott for his extravagant spending, with some even suggesting his focus should be elsewhere.

One particularly biting comment read, “The only ring he’ll ever win!” Others mocked the idea that the Cowboys would have any significant games scheduled, with sarcastic comments like, “Wedding date set on Super Bowl Sunday, Cowboys will be free that day.”

For Prescott and Ramos, the timing and spending seem to be personal choices, detached from the team’s performance. It was, after all, during the team’s bye week, and with Prescott‘s sizable earnings, a million-dollar ring isn’t much of a stretch. Nonetheless, the criticism from fans highlights how personal milestones can quickly turn into public controversies, especially for athletes in the spotlight.

Though Prescott has faced many pressures as the leader of America‘s team, this time the backlash stemmed not from his on-field performance but from how he chooses to live his personal life. Despite the negative feedback from some corners, Prescott’s engagement remains a testament to his success both in his career and personal life-whether the critics approve or not.

In the end, the quarterback remains unfazed by the noise. For him and Sarah Jane Ramos, it’s all about moving forward together, proving that even in the face of criticism, love and family come first.
