After the media jumped to wild conclusions, Dez Bryant rightfully lashed out at them.
The Cowboys wide receiver was the subject of a situation which proved that sometimes having technology at our fingertips is detrimental, especially when it comes to the media. Bryant was seen yelling something after Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette was taken out by a scary collision with Jeff Heath and the media apparently misconstrued what the Cowboys star was saying.

Lockette was carted off and received a concussion after the hit and the cameras picked up Bryant pointing somewhere and seemingly saying, "That's what you f--king get." The clip of Bryant yelling was scooped up by the media and without any facts, some members of the press assumed that the two-time Pro Bowler was bragging about Lockette getting hurt.
Once word got back to Bryant over the rumors spreading, he lashed out at the media.

"I won't ever, ever, ever, ever wish bad on a player that's been knocked down," Bryant said. "Come on, man, that's bulls--t. Not once did I say, 'Hey, that's what you get,' I got on one knee and prayed for that man. I got on one knee and prayed for him."

Sure looks like Dez Bryant yells "That's what he f-ing gets," but hard to tell from this vine... https://t.co/0BZAabsSjp — Jackson Felts (@JacksonKJR) November 2, 2015
Bryant was then asked by the herd of reporters whether or not the Seahawks accused him of saying something to Lockette.
"Na man, ya'll did," the receiver said about the reporters implementing him.
Bryant isn't lying, as his story was backed up by Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin, who was seen right next to the receiver when he said whatever it is he actually said. Irvin tweeted that Bryant was angry at the officials and had no ill will toward the injured Lockette.

The Seahawks went on to win the game, 13-12, to improve to 4-4 on the season, while the Cowboys fell to 2-5.
Bryant was justly agitated at the media for spinning a story before even bothering to gather all of the facts.
