When it comes to dress code, the Dallas Cowboys don't mess around.

There are reports stating that the Cowboys cut running back Christine Michael and cornerback Corey White for not wearing suits on the team’s road trip to Tampa Bay to play the Buccaneers Nov. 15.

White confirmed the report, according to the Dallas Morning News:

Former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Corey White told TMZ.com he was, in fact, cut for not wearing a suit in the team's road trip to Tampa Bay last weekend.

White told the website he wore "slacks and a button down," but that doesn't adhere to the team's dress code for road trips. A Cowboys coach told White he was cut because the cornerback wasn't wearing a suit, White reportedly told TMZ.com.

"I'm not angry," White reportedly said. " ... It's the rules."​

I guess I am a <bit> surprised.

White seemed like a pretty decent CB4 and it's not like the team is brimming with talent in the defensive backfield.

Bummer, but rules are rules. If you work at Burger King they even have a dress code. I liked Corey White. He should have wore a hoodie.

 

[TheCount]

Man, slacks and a button-down aren't enough? Someone needs to buy that dude a blazer.

 

[JoeBoBBY]

Good. Next time try to be part of the team and realize everything is important. the details are important. and you are not above the team, becuase u feel lazy that day or disagree with the rule.

Get out of here............what are you , a pro bowler????

Worked for James Jones this week.

No, when the policy is to wear a suit, slacks and a button down aren't enough. When the policy is to wear a collared shirt, a t-shirt is not enough. When the policy is to wear pants, shorts are not enough.

No, someone doesn't need to buy that dude a blazer. Someone needs to buy that dude a clue.

They needed to cut a couple of players and found an excuse to do so.
He didn't REALLY get cut only because of the dress code. I think we all know that.

 

[Risen Star]

The simple mind will look at it that way. They cut me for not wearing a suit.

This is the genius of the rule. No. You weren't cut for not wearing a suit. You were cut for failing to adhere to the rules set by your head coach. That's all that dress code is about. Show me the guys who won't fall in line. I don't want them here.

In the end he was just not good enough or no shoes, no shirt would still have been on the team.

It had to be a cornerback though otherwise the message doesn't really resonate throughout the entire team.

If they're cutting corners, who among us is safe?

Exactly.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Stupidity knows no bounds.

 

[Aven8]

We sure could use him this week with Mo out, and Olsen coming in. If I were him I would show up in a tux and beg JG to take me back!

Relax, fashion ****. I was kidding.

Calvin: Coach, can I have a word with you?

Garrett: What is it, Calvin? What's going on?

Calvin: Coach, it's Hardy. He got into another incident last night.

Garrett: What was he wearing? Just hit me with it.

 

[JoeBoBBY]

well, make a few pro bowls, win some super bowls. then maybe people look the other way becuase youre running around shirtless with no shoes on.

(pretty much my entire childhood summers)

dont make routine 6 yard run, and wave your hands like you actually did something....im glad that dude is gone.

 

[cowboys2233]

Relax, fashion ****. I was kidding.

Oh, I'm relaxed. After all, I didn't just get fired from a $900k/year job because I chose to not dress properly.
