Dallas, Texas is home to the Cowboys and the first diagnosed case of Ebola in the United States. The patient is still in critical condition in a Dallas hospital and “fighting for his life,” according to a CDC official. So with an inter-state matchup between the Houston Texans and the Dallas Cowboys today, a few Texans fans used this not-so-fun news item as a reason to mock the Cowboys. Because ah, yes… Making fun of people who are deathly sick with a disease that literally causes you to shit your internal organs out because SPORTS! is very funny.
Here are some collected Tweets via Sporting News. The Cowboys beat the Texans, 20-17.
And you thought Philadelphia sports fans were bad… Stay classy, Texas.
