NFL has swiftly found its place in the gymnastics realm with the Simone Biles-Jonathan Owens hitch. Or is it safe to say that more than the NFL it is Jonathan Owens? Whatever the fact is, Simone herself is surely there for her man over and above everything. Understandably, Simone did not let go of the grand occasion of the Packers securing their playoff spot. She instantly got into the celebration mode on her social media. Her support for Owens and the Packers overrides the fact that she is a Texan and the state also has an NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys. As luck would have it, the team stands before the Packers in the Super Wild Card Weekend next Sunday. While the Cowboys are not lucky enough to have the gymnastics GOAT onboard, they got some from her near and dear circle.
To make matters even more interesting, those individuals, known to be close to the heart of Simone Biles, officially registered their vote of support for the Cowboys, being true Texans. However, that seems to have brought great pain to the 7X Olympic Medalist.

On her first two Instagram stories, Simone Biles gave out the war cry for the Cowboys as she wrote, “We are coming for you Dallas”. The next story was a reshared Instagram story from her beloved coach, Cecile Landi, who migrated to Texas to coach at Simone Biles’ family-run gym World Champions Center. Landi’s post was a clean shoutout to the Cowboys as she wrote, “Let’s Go Cowboys.” Not to be missed the pun she intended while writing, “Sorry @simonebiles!”
Simone Biles did not miss it either as she reshared the story with her single-word caption, “hurt….” Landi is arguably one of the Champions of Simone Biles and has been a pillar of support for her during her comeback days. But amid the NFL fever, the direction of that support seems to have changed its course. Unfortunately for Simone Biles camp, more casualties followed for the upcoming Packers-Cowboys match!
