Cowboys’ Micah Parsons Called ‘Groupie Fraud!’ NBA Fan by Patriots’ Matthew Judon
FRISCO - Mostly, it seems, Dallas Cowboys star defender Micah Parsons just loves sports. He is an accomplished wrestler, was a high school basketball force, seeks to beat you in bowling … whatever.
So on the field? Micah has enough moves to make him "the man." But in his closet, he apparently has enough jerseys to make him … "that guy."
As in, "that guy" whose unlimited budget and flexible loyalties move him to break sports' unwritten rule of wearing the jersey of any team on any given night depending on his mood and location.
In response to Parsons' fickle fandom, one of the most ferocious players in the NFL is being criticized - by a member of the New England Patriots, no less - as "bandwagon", a "groupie" and even a "fraud."
A week after attending Game 4 of the Boston Celtics-Philadelphia 76ers playoff game wearing a Tyrese Maxey jersey in Philly, Parsons on Wednesday night showed up at TD Garden for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals and rocked a No. 0 Jayson Tatum jersey.
Celtics fans - and Patriots' pass-rusher Matthew Judon - were in a surly mood because of their team's upset loss. It was compounded by Parsons, who drew their ire for switching "loyalties."
Said Judon on Twitter:
This man worse then drake. Bandwagon.
Judon took his playful - we think? - criticism a step further, calling Parsons a "fraud."
Deuce should of beat yo ass fo shaking his pops hand like that. Then asking him for a jersey. "It’s a fraud inside my city ya."
Parsons, who angered some Cowboys fans last February for openly rooting for the rival Eagles in the Super Bowl, initially explained wearing the Maxey jersey on the fact that the Sixers guard hails from Texas (South Garland High School). But in a pre-game exchange with Tatum, the pass-rusher that often refers to himself as the "Lion" appeared to be nothing more than a Zebra attempting to changing his stripes.
After Tatum playfully called him out for wearing a Sixers jersey just a week ago, Parsons blamed that outfit choice on "Rubin" ... likely Fanatics sports fashion chairman Michael Rubin. But then Parsons giddily responded, "I'm with you tonight!" before asking for a Celtics jersey.
Parsons, who is from Pennsylvania, is being ruthlessly roasted on social media, with fans doubling down on Judon's "bandwagon" label by calling the Cowboys' star "cringey" and even a "groupie."
The entertainer Drake is infamous for seemingly being a “lifelong fan” of whichever NBA team is hot. Snoop Dogg also seems to own 32 NFL jerseys …
Both Parsons and Judon are elite pass-rushers and Pro Bowl players who respect each other's games. But if Parsons shows up during the ECF series in Miami wearing a Heat jersey ... Or starts demonstrating a love for the WCF’s Lakers and Nuggets …
Unfortunately for Patriots fans, Parsons (who has also attended Mavs games in his Luka Doncic jersey) will be wearing his familiar No. 11 jersey and likely terrorizing quarterback Mac Jones when the Patriots visit the Cowboys Oct. 1 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington..
