The Dallas Cowboys may have moved on from Micah Parsons, but his mother, Sherese Parsons, hasn’t completely let go of the team that drafted her son. Just one week after the Cowboys stunned the football world by trading Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, Sherese was reportedly spotted at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday night—dressed in Cowboys gear as the team faced the Philadelphia Eagles.
A surprising choice after a messy Cowboys-Parsons split
Micah Parsons’ departure came after months of friction with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. The star linebacker, who anchored Dallas’ defense for four seasons, wanted a record-breaking contract extension. When negotiations stalled, he formally requested a trade—a request the Cowboys eventually granted. The move shocked fans across the
NFL, especially given Parsons’ role as one of the league’s most dominant defensive players.
That backdrop makes Sherese’s appearance in Cowboys colors particularly intriguing. “Does his mom even know it happened?” some fans joked online, pointing out the odd visual of her supporting the very team that just shipped her son away.
Loyalty, convenience, or just love for the game?
There could be simpler explanations behind Sherese’s decision. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania—her hometown—is just a couple of hours from Philadelphia, making Thursday’s season opener an easy trip.
Her history with the Cowboys is also deeply personal, given her son’s rise to stardom in Dallas. And of course, it may just come down to her genuine love for football.
