On Thursday night, a Dallas Cowboys fan in Texas had a dramatic reaction after watching his team lose 24-16 to the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home. The fan, wearing a Dak Prescott jersey and identified as TikTok user @daniel1caudillo, took his television outside and crushed it under the tires of his truck. He then drove over it again in reverse for extra emphasis.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
