ESPN reporter David Newton is under fire after making an insensitive reference to Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette’s father.

Legette and the Panthers will be playing the Dallas Cowboys, the WR’s dad’s favorite team, this Sunday. Sadly, he won’t be around to see his son line up against the NFC East side, as he passed away in 2019.

The player also lost his mother four years prior.

Still, Newton jokingly suggested the player’s father would rein in his support for America’s Team come Sunday.

“For sure, he ain’t a Cowboys fan,” Legette replied. “No more.”

The second-year wideout was unable to hide his sadness as he let out a deep breath.
