With a contract extension lingering in his mind, this Tuesday, the star defender made a bold claim on X, “I think ima play this year bald headed, y’all.” And after he posted this stuff, fans couldn’t hold back themselves from making insane comments. Why? That might be him recalling what happened in 2022.

Let’s rewind to November 2022. Micah Parsons had invited a backlash from fans. And the reason was simple: he was complaining on Twitter about how his barber charged him $200 for a haircut. Looks serious, but it’s a heck of a funny incident. Micah even said at that time, “I came from nothing, man,” while criticizing the barber.

After receiving a backlash, he said, “Man, I don’t mean to knock no one’s business or what you do, and I meant no disrespect to barbers! I’m making a simple note on what you put value too! If I was a model, hell yeah my appearance matters, but I am a football player!! I wore a helmet the whole game!” Wearing a helmet all the time could be the real reason, but that doesn’t look like a legitimate reason, right?

Well, the Cowboys’ star defender hasn’t yet given the real reason why he wants to go bald in the upcoming season. But fans are not letting him go with empty hands from X. Football fans have reacted to the self-acclaimed Humble Beast’s unexpected promise.

Fans tackle Micah Parsons for his ‘bald’ comment

One commented with a video on the post, saying, “Micah to opposing QBs in 2025,” where a bald man throws another man in a big trash can, and kicks him down the slope in a garden. Another fan accepted Parsons’s promise, and couldn’t hold back remembering NBA legend LeBron James. Fan said, “Ok LeBron” on Parsons’s post.

And if we scroll down a little bit, another fan comments, “Do it!!!” However, another fan wants Micah as he is and was in the next season also. That fan said, “Hell no.” One fan took a dig at his contract situation, saying, “You will save money on cuts and give the Cowboys a discount.” That was bang on target. 

Well, we can’t assume anything about his reason behind going bald and promising about the same. But one thing is clear: as one fan commented, “30 sacks coming.” Micah Parsons is preparing hard for the season.
