As investigators work to determine the cause of the devastating structural failure, tributes from athletes, fans, and celebrities have poured in honoring the fallen NFL legend. Known for his grit, leadership, and unwavering dedication on and off the field, his legacy as a cornerstone of the Cowboys franchise will live on forever.
In a powerful act of compassion and unity, Micah Parsons, current Cowboys superstar linebacker, has stepped up in an extraordinary way. Parsons has pledged a staggering $100 million to help the victims and families affected by the tragedy. The donation will fund medical care, mental health services, funeral expenses, and rebuilding efforts in the affected region.
“This isn’t about football—it’s about being there for people when they need it most,” Parsons said in an emotional statement. “We lost a true icon of our sport, and my heart is with his family and everyone impacted by this devastating event.”
The NFL community is mourning together, as teams across the league hold moments of silence and share heartfelt tributes in honor of the fallen Cowboys legend—an athlete remembered for both his fierce competitiveness and generous spirit.
