Stephen A. Smith, an ESPN headliner, at many events, said that he doesn’t hate the Dallas Cowboys, but he hates how their fans act. He has said that the Cowboys haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1996, but they’re still considered “America’s Team”.
Earlier, Smith had said that his dislike for the Cowboys stems from a heartbreak 30 years ago. He was once head over heels for a girl in high school who was a Cowboys fan. He’s a fan of hometown teams, the New York Yankees and the New York Knicks.The Rivalry: Cowboys vs the rest
Smith’s disdain for the Cowboys is no secret. He has a history of predicting their downfall and then gloating about it on TV. In many previous experiences, Smith has worn a Cowboy hat to mock the Dallas fan base. His rivalry with the Cowboys is so profound that it’s often compared to other heated sports rivalries like Yankees vs Red Sox or Steelers vs Ravens.
The game between the Cowboys and Chargers was a must-win for both teams. The Cowboys were coming off a drubbing at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers and needed to put that defeat behind them as quickly as possible. On the other hand, the Chargers were looking to capitalize on their much-needed bye week and continue riding the hot hand of QB Justin Herbert.
