For a guy who was eager to leave Dallas less than a year ago, Micah Parsons has found a number of opportunities to go back - such as the ongoing FIFA World Cup.
Cameras at today's World Cup game between Ivory Coast and Norway at AT&T Stadium spotted Parsons taking in the game from the comfort of a luxurious seat. He wore a black soccer jersey with a lion chain on it.
"Micah Parsons back in Dallas at Ivory Coast vs. Norway," SportsCenter noted on X.
No Warm Welcome
Cowboys fans weren't exactly thrilled to see Parsons back in their building. Several joked that he must still want to be a Cowboy, while others dismissively said that he should be watching the game from Wisconsin with the rest of the Packers faithful.
"Wants to be a Cowboy so bad," one fan declared.
"Micah Parsons checking out another player that once played at Lambeau Field, Erling Haaland," another joked.
"We dont want you fatty go away," wrote a third.
"Keep that podcasting BUM in Wisconsin."
It's worth noting that Parsons still has a home in Dallas, so the game was probably the easiest one for him to travel to.

Parsons played for the Cowboys from 2021 to 2024, racking up 52.5 sacks in 63 games. He earned numerous Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors and helped the team reach three top-10 defenses during his time in Dallas.
But a falling out with team owner Jerry Jones over contract negotiations led to a formal trade request last August. After some awkward back-and-forth in the media, the Cowboys acquiesced and sent him to Green Bay in a blockbuster deal.
Parsons had a strong first year with the Packers, recording 12.5 sacks in 14 games before suffering a season-ending injury. The Packers wound up finishing second in the NFC North but still reached the playoffs, only to go one-and-done in the playoffs at the hands of the rival Chicago Bears.
