Welp, there is a fierce rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys fans and Houston Texans fans. Ebola has already provided grist for the smack talk mill.

The Cowboys aren't worried about Ebola because they don't usually catch anything anyway

You made me snort. 😉 RT @cynicusprime: Oh yes, your version of the "Cowboys can't even catch Ebola" meme is MUCH funnier.

Heh.
But back to the specific rivalry and Sunday’s game:
Curious – anyone planning to go to Dallas for the #Texans #Cowboys game this wknd? Changing your plans because of Ebola?

Doesn’t look like it stopped many, if any.

The opening tweet about the haz mat suit was pretty prescient, actually.

Oh dear.
This Twitter user was not a fan of the sign.
"@ChronBrianSmith: #Cowboys. Ebola. #Texans. @coomerchron pic.twitter.com/tFcmEakHw4" ignorant and disrespectful

But Roland Martin disagreed:
“@ChronBrianSmith: #Cowboys. Ebola. #Texans. @coomerchron pic.twitter.com/ax6DldOdZn” LOL #hatecowboys

Either way, fans and players are fired up for the game.
