Micah Parsons was spending his bye week in enemy territory on Tuesday, visiting Philadelphia, and even revealed he was rooting for them...in the World Series, that is.
Parsons, who has frequented baseball games in his down time, was at Citizens Bank Park for Game 3 between the Phillies and Astros and posted on social media he was rooting for the Phillies in a pic with the FOX pregame show crew.
Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson responded with the eyeballs emoji, but Parsons replied that it was just home support.
The 23-year-old Cowboys linebacker and Penn State product is originally from Harrisburg, Pa., about a two-hour drive from Philadelphia. So, it should come as no surprise that he is rooting for the Phillies.
Parsons was certainly fired up while watching the game, too. Live-tweeting his reaction to some big moments, particularly Bryce Harper’s two-run home run in the first inning to give the Phils an early 2-0 lead.
Parsons is arguably the best defensive player in the NFL, so Dallas fans probably won’t get too upset with him expressing adoration for a Philly team.
