Micah Parsons Apologizes to Tearful Young Cowboys Fan After Trade

The Cowboys received Pro Bowler Kenny Clark in exchange, but it’s clear that the fans of the star lost one of their own. Despite growing up in Pennsylvania, he was among the few who supported the Cowboys and dreamed of wearing the Star on his helmet forever.

Growing up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, I was one of the few kids in my neighborhood who cheered for the Dallas Cowboys. Nearly everyone around supported the Eagles, but I always believed in the star. To wear the blue and white at Penn State and then carry those same colors into the NFL as a Cowboy, it was more than a dream; it was destiny.

That dream ended on a sour note. Now he has a different goal, one that he’s kept to himself all these years.

The value of Micah Parsons’ Cowboys jersey plummets

Parsons’ jerseys used to sell like hotcakes every year after hitting various stores across the nation. The numbers also looked solid during the offseason. However, the trade has caused complications.

Stores are facing issues selling Parsons’ Cowboys jersey despite dropping the price to as low as $30 from its original valuation of $250. It makes sense considering fans would rather buy his Packers jersey.

An Eagles fan page posted a video that summed up the entire conundrum surrounding Parsons’ jersey. The viral clip showed a father receiving a Micah Parsons Cowboys jersey as a birthday gift right after the trade was announced.

Father was already in a grumpy mood because of Jones’ shenanigans. To his credit, he only slammed the jersey on his sofa instead of burning it.

It has been an offseason filled with the departures of fan favorite players. ESPN’s Sam Block tweeted,

Micah Parsons isn’t on the Cowboys. Nick Chubb isn’t on the Browns. Cooper Kupp isn’t on the Rams. Deebo Samuel isn’t on the 49ers. DK Metcalf isn’t on the Seahawks. Joey Bosa isn’t on the Chargers. Najee Harris isn’t on the Steelers.

It’s very challenging for fans to part ways with merchandise belonging to their favorite players. The NFL is a business, and it’s hard to predict an athlete’s future. One moment, they are part of one team, and the very next, they are having lunch with another in a different state.
