Former Dallas Cowboy star Herschel Walker blasted the Democratic National Convention for overplaying the race card.

The former NFL and college football star tweeted Thursday night that the DNC is “playing the race card way too much tonight!”

“You all have been in office for years and have done nothing for African Americans,” he wrote. “Every four years you do this for a vote. And the violence and death in our communities, yet you say nothing?”

On Wednesday night, the athlete slammed DNC speakers for having American flags in the background while supporting Black Lives Matter groups that have burned the flag.

“Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing!” he tweeted.
