Upper Darby resident goes viral for roasting mayor's Cowboys fandom

Driving the news: The viral moment, picked up by Barstool Sports, occurred this week at a township council meeting, when resident and activist Richard Blye addressed local officials about abandoned cars in his neighborhood.

• Then, he turned his attention to Mayor Ed Brown, jabbing him about his love for Jerry Jones and Co.

What they're saying: "See, this is what happens, guys, residents of Upper Darby Township, when you elect a Cowboys fan to your government," Blye said at the meeting. "Twenty-nine years of losing with this team."

• "What do you expect with the leadership? This is a Cowboys fan. This guy follows the Cowboys. You see what type of leadership they have, and that's what you put your trust in. A Cowboys fan. Sickening."

Blye tells Axios he hadn't planned to bring up the Dallas allegiance.

• "That was spur of the moment, not even kidding."

The other side: A spokesperson for Brown declined Axios' request for comment.

What's next: Blye says there's a bigger "backstory" to the beef, which he plans to share on a podcast — he declined to say which — in the coming days.

• He's still firming up details. Stay tuned.
