Hey guys, I’m a new football fan and I love the Cowboys. I haven’t been a fan long so I’m confused why we get so much hate? Here are the arguments I get.
1.) “Ya’ll haven’t won anything in the post season”
If winning is the only thing, then that’s fine. Cool. Then, ANY team that doesn’t win the SuperBowl should get the same heat right? Are we giving out participation trophies for teams that win 1 or 2 play off games, or is every team that doesn’t win the SB a choke artist too?
2.) Then they say, “Oh but the Cowboys talk too much, that’s why yall get so much smoke”
Okay… you mean like every fan base? Philly fans were literally screaming “Dallas Sucks” after not even playing us, Chargers fans call Herbert the next coming of christ, every fan base talks that good stuff. Dallas just has a lot more fans, but that has nothing to do with the team itself. What is a fan base suppose to say? “Oh we the second best!” Or “I can’t wait to go 9-8!” Why are we diffrent?
3.) “Jerry be running his mouth too much.”
Bro… who cares. Half the Cowboys fans don’t care at all. If the GM said every year that we are going to the SB what difference does that make and why is that annoying to ppl?? This is a genuine question. That’s like saying a boxer says I’m trying to be World champion and his promoter goes out and says HE IS THE BEST BOXER EVER NOBODY WILL EVER BEAT HIM! That’s literally the Promoters job is to sell tickets. That’s all Jerry is doing but the team gets scrutinized for it. They get talked about for it. Why is that important, again serious question.
4.) “Dak said we aiming for the SB. So if yall don’t make it yall gotta get the smoke”
Again, he should say these things. Any QB with a team this good will say the same thing. If we don’t make it, then roast us. I’m so cool with that, but folks get mad like the audacity of Dak to say we going to aim for the SB. That makes no sense. Also roast the Ravens, Bills, Bengals, Chiefs, Eagles, and especially the 49ners for the same thing.
If we have had a good team for 25 years and have been a legitimate contender that long then the fan base should believe it, the team should believe it and the owner should believe it. And if they don’t win then talk your smack but don’t act like us losing is way worse than any other good team that loses, too. It’s the same. Bengals, Ravens, Bills, Cowboys, 49ners, all the same.
You assume I’m a Cowboys fan and include yourself in the “MOST annoying fan base” by saying ‘we’…interesting. Since you lack the perspective to have a nuanced conversation. I leave you to your misery. Have a good holiday.
