Micah sure loves Philly

Speaking of Micah being dead to me, Mazi Smith retweeted this in December.


No retweets of any of our scores.

He will now be known as Fat Mazi the reach.

Micah may not technically be an Eagles or Steelers fan. But he surely doesn't hate either team the way a typical Cowboys fan might. That's apparently not good for those fans who love to hate the Eagles. Personally, I always hated the Skins, respected the Giants, and was blah about the Eagles. It's more fun to be indifferent about the Eagles. That REALLY pisses off their fans, which amuses me.

That sounds nice and all, but most of these millionaire players don’t care about rivalries as much as fans do. We have cared about our respective teams a lot longer than just their few year stretch on it. A player here or there may take it to heart, but most don’t. Sad but true

That's because the game has changed, it's all about Money now for players..I miss the old NFL
 
I wish the Cowboys would clamp down on this Micah social media crap. He’s still young and impressionable, plus opinionated and driven, and I fear there are certain media people pushing this whole thing, keeping everything sensationalized and fresh to negatively impact our best player. Fans will grow weary of the drama and comment about it, and Parsons will sour on the whole Cowboy experience.

Yeah, I know several Eagle fans who make “comic” memes and smacktalk constantly. They’re ALWAYS the ones to start it. If I say Philly’s irrelevant to us, that REALLY sets them off!

If you make your living playing professional football in the NFL it’s not prudent to “hate” any team. Best not to say or do anything that might compel a team not to want to bid for your services at contract time. Rivalries are for fans. It’s not a business to fans, for players it only makes sense to treat it like a business, and only a business. Parsons is a great player. He’ll only ever play for the Dallas Cowboys. Bet the house, the car, and the fondue set on it.
 
I'm more bothered by the fact that there is a famous guy that goes by...Lil Baby. Now that's creativity, folks.
 
He's young, his career still in the early stages.

When the Eagles stand between him and what he wants to accomplish then he will learn to hate them.

It might be a close loss in a "must win" game. It might be some Eagles offensive player talking smack.

It will be something.

It's our team, they just borrow it a few years.

A sincere question. If football player gives 110% to be the best in his position and is good at his sport and helps his team out due to his playing, what right is it of any "fan" to think they have the right to dictate how a player should live his life (unless it hurts himself or others physically or perhaps addiction to drugs?).

Personally, I'm no fan of social media and IMO the best course is staying off social media (then again, I'm old and don't do anything worth showing the world my thoughts or actions), but when it comes to what you do outside the game you play itself, I honestly don't know why fans obsess over it.

Some fans claim the NFL is rigged like the WWE, but those same fans act no different than those fans of the WWE which leaves me scratching my head.

Just because you play a professional sport and get paid handsomely to do so should not dictate who your friends are or what you want to do outside the professional game you play.

I do think that Micah should lay off social media, but that is only my opinion due to my age. The reality is kids today for better or worse live off it and is actually a form of communication. Heck, it was only 4 years ago when we had to train our boys on the right and wrong way (in our opinion) on how to answer the house phone LMAO (and they didn't get a cell phone due to school activities until age 14, and you see kids who can barely speak on cell phones now).
 
I grew up and live in south central PA, the same area that Micah grew up in. We have fans of Philly teams, Pittsburg, Baltimore, NY and of course some Cowboys fans too. But being only and hour and a half away, I'd say the slight majority of them are Philly fans. I have grown up following and routing for Dallas and all the Philly teams, except the igglets. Micah grew up same as me, a Cowboys fan who likes the other Philly teams. Don't worry about his allegiance.
 
Man things must be slow for a thread like this. Let the dude live his life. My Gawd. I luv the Celtics but that doesnt make me loyal to the Patriots. As long as Micah is under contract for Dallas I am fine.

I have no problem with Micah liking whatever, but unfortunately, there’s a large and very vocal segment of the fanbase that freaks out over this crap. I can see a young guy getting fed up reading negative fan comments, eventually thinking ‘maybe I should go where I’m appreciated!’

For sure, its silly to expect todays Athlete to be a "Fan" like a normal fan... back in the day when you actually made a team and never left you could have rivalries but those were also from playing the other player alot of years buidling a dislike... you dont get that with todays pro sports and FA.
