Is Chris Bosh a Cowboys fan?

What has Chris Bosh said about the Dallas Cowboys?

Chris Bosh put his Cowboys allegiance on the record in a Dallas News piece dated August 21, 2015. The article quotes him describing what it is like to follow the team: "Chris Bosh: When you're a Cowboys fan like me, 'people give you crap everywhere'". He placed himself among the fans in that line, and he did so in the present tense, as someone still rooting for Dallas in 2015, long after his NBA career had taken him to Toronto and then Miami.

Did Chris Bosh grow up a Cowboys fan?

The Dallas Cowboys' own team site backed this up on the same date, August 21, 2015, writing that "Bosh grew up a Cowboys fan while starring at Lincoln High School". That lines up with his biography. Bosh was born in Dallas, Texas, on March 24, 1984, and was raised in Hutchins, a suburb of the city. He attended Lincoln High School in Dallas before a single season at Georgia Tech (2002 to 2003) and then the Toronto Raptors, who took him fourth overall in the 2003 draft.

When did Chris Bosh become a Cowboys fan?

No specific moment is given. The fandom is described as running from childhood through at least 2015, and it is labeled a lifelong team. The Cowboys won Super Bowl XXVII in 1993, the year he turned 9, Super Bowl XXVIII in 1994, the year he turned 10, and Super Bowl XXX in 1996, the year he turned 12. Those are the championships that fell during his years growing up in the Dallas area.

Does Chris Bosh like the Dallas Cowboys?

By his own account, yes. The 2015 quote is a fan's remark about the abuse that comes with the territory, and nothing in the record suggests the fandom ended or is contested. He played for the Raptors from 2003 to 2010 and the Heat from 2010 to 2017, so his NBA career put him in other cities, but his stated football loyalty stayed with Dallas, his birthplace and the city where he went to high school.
