Michael Irvin latest news: Cowboys legend compares $100M lawsuit to getting lynched amidst Marriott controversy

Michael Irvin is speaking out about the Marriott controversy. The Dallas Cowboys legend believes this situation is akin to being wrongfully accused of something and lynched as a result.

Here's how he put it:

"This sickens me, the sickens me because in this great country this takes me back to a time where a a white woman would accuse a black man or something and they would take a bunch of guys that were above the law running the bond to rope around his foot and drag him through the mud and hang them by the tree.

"How can I defend myself? If I don't even know what I'm defending myself against? They asked me they said, Do you remember this girl you met in the lobby? I work and I live in hotels. I stay in hotels all year long. From August to September. I meet people every day walking in and out of a lobby. I couldn't even tell you what she looked like. I don't know."

"I don't even know who I'm talking about when I talk to you about I supposed to do something and it just This just blows my mind that in 2023 we still dragging and hanging brothers by a tree that blows my mind that I have no opportunity to defend I don't even know what I'm defending. And absolutely to not listen to the court."

Clearly, the former Dallas wide receiver is frustrated with the situation and is launching a massive lawsuit against the hotel. The Cowboys legend will soon get his day in court to prove himself and make known that his analogy isn't that far-fetched.
