New Jersey governor Chris Christie has received a lot of criticism over the past week after Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones paid for him to attend their playoff game against the Detroit Lions.
Jones has given Christie and his family tickets and travel to three Cowboys games this season, which has raised ethics questions of the governor.
Christie, a lifelong Cowboys fan, still plans to attend Dallas' game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, but will pay his own way.
“Not wanting to risk breaking the team’s 5-0 streak by messing with karma, Governor Christie, his orange sweater and his son Andrew will all travel to Lambeau Field this weekend to attend the game,” spokesman Michael Drewniak said.
Drewniak said Christie is hoping “keep silliness out of the football season” by paying his own way to the game.
Dallas will take on the Green Bay Packers in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs on Sunday at 1:05 p.m. ET on FOX.
