Micah Parsons' brother defends Josh Jacobs for maybe being guilty of only 'a shove' of ex-girlfriend
Terrence Parsons Jr. is the older brother of Green Bay Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons and, aside from that, he's known for controversial opinions about the NFL.
But on Thursday evening big brother stepped on a figurative landmine.
That's because Parsons Jr. decided to discuss the Josh Jacobs legal situation that is now the top story for the Packers.
And it was a disaster.
Jacobs is in the investigative crosshairs of both the Brown County District Attorney and the NFL after being charged with misdemeanor battery on his ex-girlfriend.
He's also charged with damaging her phone.
GREEN BAY PACKERS PRO BOWL RB JOSH JACOBS ARRESTED ON MULTIPLE DOMESTIC ABUSE CHARGES It's a rough situation because, as OutKick reported on Thursday, the DA's office says it has surveillance video from a garage camera of the alleged physical altercation between the running back and the woman.
So, what's the problem for Parsons Jr.? He apparently doesn't think Jacobs allegedly knocking down the woman and busting up her phone, resulting in the misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property, is that serious.
Certainly not serious enough to cost Jacobs his NFL career.
"A shove?" Parsons typed on X.
"Yall gotta relax anger gets the best out of anyone everyone deserves a second chance misdemeanors at that." Ooof .
Parsons Jr. diminished the seriousness of what Jacobs allegedly did and rightly got ratioed for that opinion.
But the backlash made him sit down, reflect, consider that an NFL player knocking down a female is never a good idea, and then the brother to one of the league's best pass rushers walked it all back.
No he didn't.
