Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark says the treatment of Dez Bryant over his sideline antics strike him as a double standard.
The Dallas Cowboys receiver has been criticized for his feisty attitude this season, most recently stemming from a number of heated discussions he had with teammates during Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Detroit Lions.
"I've seen Tom Brady cuss and scream and do all kind of things but nobody looks at him like that," Clark told ESPN. "I just think it's unfair the way we see it and the way the media portrays certain things because of personal feelings about a person."
Clark added he saw nothing wrong with what Bryant did, even as cameras repeatedly zoomed in on him arguing with teammates, including tight end Jason Witten. Critics have argued Bryant's risque theatrics overshadowed a spectacular touchdown catch he made against the Lions.
"Dez Bryant wasn't going off. Dez Bryant said, 'We are the best in the NFL at this.' Doesn't sound like going off to me," Clark told ESPN. "Were his hands flailing, did he use some vulgarity? Yes. But his speech was, 'We are the best in the NFL at this. They can't stop us doing this.' What's wrong with that?"
