The brother of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is going after all those that are upset with Christie for sitting in the owner’s box at the Dallas Cowboys–Detroit Lions Wild Card round playoff game.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie received a lot of negative attention for sitting in Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ box during the Cowboys’ Wild Card round game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Even the Mayor of Bergenfield, New Jersey called out Christie for jumping on the Cowboys’ bandwagon, according to TMZ.
Well, Christie’s brother is firing back at all those calling the governor a bandwagon fan and ripping him for sitting with Jones through a very angry Facebook post.
It reads:
"To all of those non Cowboy fans who have their panties in a ringer because the Governor of NJ is a Cowboys fan—-GET A LIFE !!! The Gov has been a Cowboys fan for his entire life and ALL of you would sit with the owner of your favorite team in a heartbeat if given the chance. I’m a Giants fan—-we are sitting home for the fourth straight year. Eagles fans—-possibly you should worry more about the fact that your sorry ass team has never won a Super Bowl and less about who’s rooting for which team. I mean crazy pathetic posts. And for every calorically challenged FB person who posts about the Gov’s weight—forget the magic mirror and look at yourself. Weight posts—-really?"
I mean, that’s one way to fire back at critics, though it probably would have been best for Todd Christie to walk away from the keyboard before hitting send on that one.
The governor, on the other hand, is taking a better approach to handling all the hate, saying that he’s fine with it as long as Dallas continues to win.
"“We all know what this is about, and that’s fine,” Christie said on WFAN’s “Boomer & Carton,” according to CBS. “Believe me, I would take all the abuse that I’m taking from some of these folks in return for Cowboys playoff wins. As a fan, that’s what it’s all about. … Just because I’m Governor of New Jersey doesn’t mean that I change who I root for — that’s it.”"
With Christie in the owner’s box, Dallas pulled off the improbable, come-from-behind 24-20 victory over the Lions.
The Cowboys will take on the Green Bay Packers next Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. We’d be willing to bet Christie finds a way to be there for it.
