Don't ever think Dez Bryant doesn't care.
The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver clarified comments he made in training camp two weeks ago.
"My whole thing about that whole situation is like people think that I don't care,'' Bryant said, according to David Moore of the Dallas Morning News. "That's crazy."
"I'm not criticizing nobody,'' Bryant said. "They're free to do whatever they want. Hell no, I'm not doing none of that. Their beliefs are their beliefs and I'm not saying they're wrong because they're feeling a certain way. They're supposed to. I'm just saying OK, I want to lead by example by doing positive. I'm not saying what they're doing is wrong. I just have my ways of going about things.''
Bryant said his earlier lack of comment was because of his focus on training camp and on the Cowboys as a team.
In his elaboration, he pointed toward his community involvement as active participation.
"I'm the first to say, my childhood was bad, it was poor, but I don't let it weigh on my shoulders. I don't. I try my best to become a better person from it and do the exact opposite. That's why I try to show people, that's what I try to show these young kids. What I love about my home town, Lufkin, Texas, you can see them trying to do the same thing. I love and I respect it. It's going to get us far," Bryant said.
"If you want real peace, that's how you get real peace. That's my opinion.''
