There are few things in sports more guaranteed than a priceless reaction from Stephen A. Smith clowning the Cowboys after a loss. But, while many have assumed his longstanding hatred for Dallas has to do with the team itself, the beloved ESPN personality shared Thursday that’s actually not the case.
Smith admitted during an appearance in Arizona on Super Bowl LVII Radio Row that he can’t stand the Cowboys on account of their, as he put it, “disgusting” and “nauseating” fan base. As expected, the answer, which followed a question asking why Smith hates “America’s Team” so much, prompted yet another classic tirade from the man himself.
“It has nothing to do with the Cowboys,” Smith told The Ringer’s Kevin Clark. “It has everything to do with their disgusting, nauseating fan base, which I can’t stand. That’s who they are. For me, I have nothing against any player on the Dallas Cowboys. … it’s their damn fans that get on my nerves. Their fans are so nauseating to me, they are just so annoying that nothing pleases me more than to watch a Cowboy fan miserable.”
