Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant is known to be a huge NFL fan, specifically of his hometown Washington Commanders.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!After announcing he was partnering with FanDuel to give picks for the upcoming NFL seasosn, Durant joined the Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams to discuss a variety of football-centric topics.
Adams mentioned that Durant recently became a part owner of legendary soccer club Paris Saint-Germain, which is part of the French Ligue 1 soccer league, where they relegate teams.
She then used that to ask Durant which team he would remove from the NFL.
“Cowboys, easy,” Durant responded immediately. “I just don’t like them. I had to ask myself why I don’t like the Cowboys because I don’t hate any teams or any players. I’m a huge fan of a lot of teams, but the Cowboys are that one team I just don’t like.”
Durant then explained more of the reasoning behind his choice, and it is in large part to his fandom of the Commanders.
“I think it’s because a lot of people, where I’m from in D.C., have become Cowboys fans,” Durant said. “It’s probably like 75 percent of people in Washington D.C. in my group of people that are Cowboys fans, and I just hate that they don’t stay loyal to the crib.”
Durant did hesitantly say later in the show that he would pick Dak Prescott to win MVP this season, but spent a lot of time talking about his excitement for the Commanders this season, especially with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. If Daniels does pop off for Washington, Durant is not allowing his Cowwboys friends bandwagon the Commanders.
“We not letting them back,” Durant said. “They gonna have to stay on that side. We not letting them on the bus, man.
