LeBron James is a well-documented Cowboys fan: He hung out with the team on the sidelines in Cleveland before a game against the Browns; he watched the Cowboys Stadium-opening loss to the New York Giants last year from Jerry Jones’ suite; and on Sunday night, he watched the team’s season opener from a suite at FedEx Field, and provided his own commentary via Twitter.
First: "In DC for My Cowboys game tonight. Gonna be a lot of sad faces tonight in this area. Lol!!"
Next: "All of this Maroon and Yellow is making me sick to the stomach! Haaa."
And then: "That play right there loses games!! Wow. Penalties killed us all game and it cost us all the way to the end!"
Coincidentally--or maybe not--it was also reported yesterday that James had been named among the most hated athletes in American sports. Just how much this disdain is a result of his allegiance to the Cowboys (and Yankees) we don’t know; it's more likely that his decision, and the similarly titled, self-aggrandizing and unnecessary hour-long special devoted to it, was his undoing as far as public perception is concerned. Since then, according to the Q Scores Company, 39 percent of fans recently polled see him in a negative light--a whopping 77 percent increase from last January.
