Hence they are chosen for primetime for better ratings to use your own words. What brings better ratings ? A giant fanbase . These are facts . You keep trying to attribute this to delusion and ego. I'm giving you facts . Top road draw in NFL . Most valuable franchise in sports. Facts . The Cowboys are a huge draw for the NFL, both because people like them but also because people hate them. They are NOT America's team, that is just some stupid term somebody used that Cowboys fans cling to during their many years of mediocre play. Now cue the "well you're a Browns fan what do you know nonsense". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been doing it since the 70's. It's no surprise they have such a wide spread fanbase. I applaud the fact that they've marketed so well, but that hardly makes them "America's team." They have as many haters as they do fans. How many Pats fans loved watching them lose to the Dolphins then the Titans in the playoffs. That was almost as good as my team winning something.

Half of the Cowboy fans that I've run across are frauds. No doubt, same probably goes for many popular teams. Here in NE Ohio there are many Steeler fans, the more south and east you go of CLE the worse it gets, I work with several of them. But most I've met and talked to have decent reasons, several grew up or had roots in Western PA or parts of eastern OH and WV panhandle that are very close to PIT). But often you talk to these fans, ask "why are you a Cowboys fan" the response is basically they sstarted following them when they were young, and of course the Cowboys (Steelers, 49ers, etc.) were good and winning titles then.

Example: The nerd Cowboy fan who was born and raised in Philly. This guy is a bandwagoning traitor who has no soul or loyalty to his own. You would never trust this guy, he's a weasel. Not all Cowboy fans are like this but a lot are. And that same Cowboy fan is probably a SF or KC fan this week. He's the one in line at Dick's today buying KC & SF Jerseys. You know the guy I'm talking about. Edited January 20, 2020 by League_Champion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should true homer fans in NYC root for the Bills then, since they are the only NFL team that is from NY? Or is there some kind of exemption that allows them to root for the teams that play in NJ?

Southern NJ is literally 5 minutes across the bridge from the stadium. They consider themselves Philadelphians because they are closer to the stadium than over 2 million Philadelphians. It's nothing like some JO in NY rooting for the Cowboys. Edited January 21, 2020 by League_Champion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
