Philly politician calls Gov. Christie a 'Fat assed ... creep' for being Cowboys fan: Report

Gov. Chris Christie, that unabashed Dallas Cowboys fan from New Jersey, created quite a stir when he sat with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones during the Philadelphia Eagles' 38-27 loss on Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field.

And it didn't take long for that kinship to ignite a social media frenzy.



Eagles fans called for Christie's impeachment and Cowboys fans in Texas were already casting their votes for the New Jersey pol if he makes a run for president were only some of the tamer comments.

But besides losing a few more votes in south Jersey's Eagles territory, the Guv lost all love from politicians across the Delaware River.

Earlier in the week, former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell called Christie "pathetic" for being a Cowboys fan: “How can a Jersey guy be a Cowboys fan?" Rendell said in a radio interview. It’s pathetic.”

But a Twitter rant by Philadelphia councilman-at-large Jim Kenney, a Democrat, who — after watching Christie high-five with Jones during the nationally televised game took his attack to a more personal level:



Rendell said Christie's allegiance to a division rival, while "legal," shows an "inferiority complex" and a need to be a frontrunner.

“If you are a Jerseyite or a Pennsylvanian and you’re rooting for the Cowboys, it means you’re not secure in yourself and you wanted to root for a team that was a team in your youth that was a constant winner," he said.

“Tell him I think he’s nothing but a wuss," he added.

Get over it Eagles fans, Giants fans already have.

NJ school kids boo Chris Christie for supporting Cowboys over Giants and Jets (VIDEO)

Chris Christie once again crossed party lines and probably lost more than a few future New Jersey votes in the wake of his latest switcheroo.

This time it was more like the slimmed down N.J. Governor crossed NFL team lines by publicly expressing his undying support for the Dallas Cowboys over the home state Giants and Jets to a group of booing Jersey school kids.

A far bigger offense than hugging a Democrat to this group.

Christie, speaking to the youngsters at the Samsel Upper Elementary School in Parlin, N.J. (about 30 miles from MetLife Stadium), admitted he was a long-time Cowboys fan.  The stunned school kids voiced their displeasure when the governor admitted he had no allegiance to the Garden State when it comes to athletics.

To add insult to injury, Christie told the kids he was not a New Jersey Devils fan either.


"It's not the smartest thing for the governor of New Jersey," the politician said, revealing how the Texas team won his heart as a child.
"The Giants and the Jets pretty much stunk when I was a kid," he said, adding that Dallas quarterback Roger Staubach was his boyhood hero.

The retired Cowboys' star has honored Christie’s loyalty and is now an admirer of the outspoken politician.  Staubach has donated thousands of dollars to the Governor's re-election campaign.

“Thanks for the love!” the Dallas team tweeted in response to Christie’s high praise.

The governor said he remains committed to the franchise, even though the out-of-state admiration "makes [his] political advisors nervous."

Christie’s preference for the New York Mets earned mixed reviews among the elementary school crowd.
