NBA All-Star Kevin Durant expressed strong feelings against the Dallas Cowboys during a recent TV appearance, stating he would relegate them if the NFL adopted promotion/relegation. As a Washington Commanders fan, Durant’s distaste seems rooted in the loyalty of local fans, 75% of whom support the Cowboys instead of the Commanders.
This rivalry is historically significant, with the Cowboys leading the series against Washington. Ironically, Durant himself has faced criticism for his loyalties within the NBA.
