Dak Prescott was mercilessly booed on the field during Super Bowl LVII as he accepted the Walter Payton Award on Sunday.
Prescott won this season’s Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award meant to honor a player’s commitment to philanthropy and community impact. But while the league may think he is a great guy, many of the fans sitting in Phoenix’s State Farm Stadium were less convinced.
As last year’s winner, Andrew Whitworth, handed Prescott the award, loud boos rang out.
Looks like Eagles fans are very committed to their feud against the Cowboys:

Come on man. Dak Prescott introduced as Walter Payton Man of the Year award winner and booed heavily. You don’t have to be a fan of his playing but give it up for his community service. He’s a good dude. Come on

Honestly. People booing Dak Prescott while he’s being honored as the Walter Payton Man of the Year is so sad and disrespectful.
This award is given to players who’ve done amazing things OFF of the field. And you’re going to boo???
