TMZ Sports dropped a bombshell on Sunday when it reported Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott hosted a birthday party for a friend that included nearly 30 individuals, including teammate Ezekiel Elliott.

This is obviously a fundamental violation of the social distancing guidelines that have been regurgitated countless times by professional health experts, political figures, professional athletes, and sports media figures over the last several weeks.

Therefore, it's really no surprise that Dallas police showed up at Prescott's home after learning of the stunning development with the hope of terminating it.

The Prosper Police Department was unable to confirm that a party was taking place, and the on-duty officers could only remind the 26-year-old signal caller of the CDC's guidelines on social distancing.

This obviously doesn't refute the rumor, and there's really no way to know what actually transpired. TMZ does have a tendency to blow things out of proportion, but if Prescott went out of his way to invite individuals -- with whom he presumably hasn't been quarantining -- inside his house, it's the epitome of irresponsible and dangerous.

Whether the gathering included 10 or 30 people isn't entirely relevant here.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to claim thousands of lives across the globe on a daily basis, so we can only hope this report about Prescott hosting a party is false.
