Plano fans of the Dallas Cowboys gathered at Legacy Hall on Sunday to watch their favorite team, for lack of a better phrase, drop the ball once again, losing their division game to the San Francisco 49ers.
For the demographic that frequents Plano’s Legacy West mall, this event was likely just background noise for their Sunday brunch. Although hundreds of fans attended the watch party, the mood of the event was surprisingly reserved. The suppressed enthusiasm of the fans bordered on detached boredom.
During last year’s World Cup final, Dallas soccer fans cheered on their teams and celebrated Argentina’s victory in the streets. The Cowboys are not the Argentine national football team. And Plano is not Dallas. A handful of fans at the Legacy West event were visibly enthusiastic, and that number grew as the night wore on and bar tabs increased. But most of the Legacy West sets seemed to be there for the same reasons we were: to take pictures. We’ve seen more rowdy fans at golf tournaments.
As your conservative kin have probably told you, a ton of people are moving from California to Texas, and that demographic was represented in Legacy Hall. The 49ers’ fans were few in number but vocal, and they grew increasingly unruly and arrogant as their team’s odds improved. By the end of the night, as the pro-Dallas majority marched glumly, transplant recipients defiantly refused to read the piece. Some even stood outside the building and taunted Cowboys fans, who were surely crying all the way home in their self-driving Teslas.
He’s not Carole Baskin’s ex coming back from his death as a tiger – he’s a football fan.
