Daily Sports Smile: Micah Parsons plays rock, paper, scissors with fans

Micah Parsons lost when the Dallas Cowboys were squashed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1. But a defeat by the hands of Tom Brady's Bucs wasn't the only loss of the night for the Pro Bowl linebacker.

Parson engaged in multiple games of rock, paper, scissors with fans. The NFL posted the interaction on its official Twitter account Sunday, showing the Pro Bowl linebacker walking up to fans clamoring for his attention. He proceeded to pound his fist in his hand and challenged a young fan to the game. They both select scissors. In the second round, the child's paper beats Parsons' rock.

"I took two Ls in one night smh!" Parsons wrote on Twitter, resharing the video to his account.

The defensive star walked down a line, playing a few more games with the kids before taking a selfie with the group.

He also had a response for the Cowboys fans who wish he would be more sad about starting the season with an loss.

"They will never understand!" Parsons replied to a fan who supported him after someone questioned why the NFL would post such a thing about a player who just lost. "I saw about 20 kids wearing an 11 jersey! If me taking 2 minutes of my life inspires 1-3 of them to be better or be great!! I’ll do it! Life, faith, and hope is just so much bigger than the. Game!!"

Parsons sacked Tom Brady twice Sunday, making him the fastest player in NFL history to rack in 15 sacks — doing so in 17 games.
