A desperate Dallas Cowboys fan claimed he’d be willing to have his family deported from the US if it meant ‘America’s Team’ could once again be Super Bowl winners.
The Hispanic diehard, wearing a Mexican luchador mask and a mariachi sombrero, made the jaw-dropping statement while being interviewed outside AT&T Stadium before the Cowboys took on the Philadelphia Eagles.
The costume-clad supporter was asked the craziest thing he’d be willing to sacrifice for another NFL championship – something that hasn’t happened since 1996.
‘I don’t want to say this because it’s crazy but probably my family getting, getting deported, man,’ the mystery man told OfftheglassTV.
He also wrongly predicted the Cowboys would beat the Eagles, when instead Philly gave the home team a 34-6 lashing.
Despite a victory over the Washington Commanders Sunday, the Cowboys’ season has largely spiraled out of control after a series of humiliating losses and set backs.
After a season-ending injury, the team has had to carry on without quarterback Dak Prescot, the highest paid player in NFL history, who has failed to lead his storied franchise to another Super Bowl, despite five previous titles.
The disappointing season has only been made worse by stadium problems, with a piece of the retractable roof collapsing onto the field, and sun blinding players during key moments in the game.
Despite nearly 20 years of frustrating seasons, the Cowboys fanbase– with the most Hispanic followers in the league– has remained loyal.
Other than the grounds of AT&T Stadium, the most rabid Dallas devotees can be found in the mostly Mexican and Mexican-American border towns of the Lone Star State, in cities like Brownsville, Laredo and El Paso.
Often called ‘Mexico’s favorite team,’ the Cowboys have an estimated 15.2 million fans south of the border, according to the Dallas Morning News.
At games in Arlington, the Hispanic culture is hard to miss, with traditional Spanish songs blaring from the tailgating tents and tacos, menudo and other Mexican food staples being served and enjoyed.
Game attendees will often wear mariachi garb or even fly Mexican flags that read ‘Dallas Cowboys’ over the green, white and red banner.
However, the masked fan willing to have his kin returned to Mexico may get this wish with or without a Cowboy’s return to the Super Bowl.
President-elect Donald Trump is working on a plan to deport millions of migrants from the US when he takes office on Jan. 20.
He’s promised to take action on Day 1 of this second term in the White House to remove first criminal migrants and anyone considered a national security threat.
From there, he and members of his transition team have promised to expel anyone ‘gaming the system’ who entered the country under the Biden Administration.
Last week, the state of Texas offered Trump a 1,400 acre ranch on the border to be used to create a monster deportation facility.
