Here’s a new one — Dallas Mavericks star Kristaps Porzingis is a big fan of the Washington Redskins.
So much so, Porzingis was recently at a Washington Wizards game with Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins.
Porzingis explained why he’s a fan, per NBC Sports’ Chase Hughes:
“One of our assistant coaches, Darrell Armstrong, he’s a diehard Redskins fan. We are pretty close and he kind of brought me in. I was a free agent and didn’t really follow football that much. There are obviously guys talking in the locker room all the time, so I was like ‘I’ve gotta get into football a little bit. I was a free agent and D.A. made me a Redskins fan.”
Simple but effective, right?
Given the problems the Redskins have had with fans lately — especially in the attendance numbers — it sure doesn’t hurt to have someone of his stature publicly backing the team.
Here are a few of the posts chronicling the recent revelation.
