John Mayer defends Jessica Simpson on his blog
John Mayer wrote this yesterday on his blog about the recent publicity surrounding ex Jessica Simpson and her new beau, Tony Romo:
Dear Dallas and Surrounding Areas,
This isn’t a sports blog, and it isn’t a publicity stunt. (but have at me if it feels right.)
This is about doing what I think is right as a person, in this case speaking my mind.
I have never known anyone to have more pride in their home state and their upbringing in it than Jessica Simpson has in Texas. I don’t really follow sports, but I have played some of my biggest and best concerts in your state, and having witnessed how dynamic the spirit there is, I’m betting emotions are running high right about now.
All witty barbs, blogs, and fashion policing aside, that girl loves Texas more than you know. It’s one of her most defining traits as a person. So please don’t try and take that away from her. (You probably wouldn’t be able to, but it’s less work for all involved.)
I just thought it would mean something coming from the guy who has the absolute least to gain from this. And if I’m out of line in having written it, too bad. I can spare a Wednesday’s worth of bad press if it means sticking up for a good soul.

That was really freaking nice. She really is getting way too much shit from Cowboys fans for no reason. And I hate the Dallas Cowboys. **just_jealous from Austin**

Fans can be a little harsh. I don’t think it matters were you’re from. I remember I would sometimes seat to watch baseball w/ my older brother and he would throw me out of the living room because he honesty thought i would bring them bad luck?! CAZY! The team just sucked (Cubs in Chicago) and still do

Haha, I love him. That was totally unnecessary, and yet very sweet of him.
