Dallas is the most hated city in the United States. I've been here 62 years, and there are still idiots blaming Dallas for what happened on Nov. 22, 1963. And, it's carried over to our sports' teams. I remember an Onion article when the Mavericks were playing the Lebron James Miami Heat in 2011 for the NBA championship, and it's title was something like, "Americans Can't Believe They're Pulling for a Dallas Team." Yep, irrational, sad hatred
