Question - Why Is It So Easy To Verbally Bat Cowboys Fans Around Like Pinatas?

Rome · November 10, 2005, 01:22:32 PM

Have you noticed how completely contradictory their opinions are regarding their team, the Eagles, and generally about everything else they discuss here? Maybe the fans that have moseyed over here this week are a poor sampling of Cowboys fans in general. Then again, having met my fair share of people who hail from the Dallas area, I can't say I'd be surprised if they weren't.

Look, I know that taterskins fans are typically delusional about the quality of their team, and Giants fans are usually insufferably arrogant about their franchise no matter their record, but I simply cannot believe how intellectually stunted Cowboys fans are.

It seems as though every one of the posters who've come here this week are complete dolts whose level of discourse appears to be stuck at the level of "E-gals Suck - hee hee hee!" or "I know you are, but what am I."

Please, please, please... please tell me that Cowboys fans as a whole aren't the most lame-brained bunch of cow-tipping, sibling-fornicating, tabacky-chawin', trailer-inhabiting idiots that the small sampling of fans that have vistited us this week seem to be.

thats because being bandwagoneers they dont really care about the cowboys...thus they arent very educated in the teams ways

cowboy fans dont even faze me they are so pathetic...taterskin fans are another story

Nope, they are exactly the same down here in Waco...All Morons!

Why hasn't anyone realized that attacking the Cowboys by saying they have fans that are bandwagoners is actually a compliment?

It is a recognition of the great history and winning tradition of the franchise.

There are no bandwagon Eagle fans, because they have been so awful for so long nobody would do that.

I dont have a problem with the people who root for the Cowboys only when they win. How can I blame them for rooting for the greatest franchise in football? I welcome them with open arms.

Some disappear during the down years, but most stick it out. Because they know it is destiny that the Cowboys will be back on top.

Just the way it is.

That pretty much hits the root of being a Cowboys "fan".

good point. most were probably pat's fans the last couple of years, but you know, they're 4-4 right now.

It should be noted that the Patriots are truly "America's Team".

I would hardly use internet message boards as a guideline for gauging the intelligence or loyalty of the fans of any professional sports team. When I lived in NJ, I had many acquaintances who were Eagles fans, and we had some fun with each other, but could always be objective.

You do have a higher percentage of pot stirrers on the internet. It's easy to stir things up or be condescending when you can just leave and go back to your domain and never show your "face" again, or just pop in for a minute or two, say something instigative or derogatory and leave.

Fans of other teams come to Cowboys' boards and do the same things, and the reaction is basically the same. Should anyone be surprised at that? Personally I visit other teams' boards for a different perspective. I don't expect to visit boards like this one and not see threads like "Farg Dallas", or the "Cowboys or taterskins or Packers Suck(Which they do

)". You see the same things on Cowboys boards, and occasionally you get the rival fan that comes in and stirs the pot. Who cares? I don't. Nothing that anyone says on a message board will ever cause me to lose my composure and go off on some silly rant. Every team has ups and downs over the years. Some have longer periods of them, but the NFL is fairly cyclical, especially in the era we're in now.

Just my perspective.

Two of my FAVORITE attacks on Cowboys and their fans. Front running, and the validity of their nickname America's Team.

First off it should be made clear that its stuff like this that makes this team so great. The fact that even after an extremely sub-par 5 year span that the hatred runs so deep. I embrace my team being hated, as oppose to the indifference the rest of the NFL feels towards Philly. Nobody will give a damn about your team in a year or two. But like Peter King said in the opening of his Dallas Training Camp Preview Column "When in doubt, write about the Cowboys. Because everyone has an opinion." Love them or hate them. That is what makes them the best.

I am a 22 year old living in NJ who has been a Cowboy fan since I understood football. The 1989 season is the first I remember. My father had been a Cowboys fan since the team began in 1960. I asked him why this team was so bad and kept loosing. He told me, "Dont worry, they will be back. Its destiny." And sure enough he was right as they went on to become the most dominant team of the decade. Its knowing that fact that has made these past few years go by. Sure it was tough losing. But its knowing that bit about destiny that makes a true Cowboy fan. So as for me sporting a Peyton Manning avatar, no chance. I will probably stick with this one of Roger and Landry.

Now for the attack on the nickname. Thats just silly man. Was the NFL films special titled America's Team about the Patriots? Its just a fact. Tex Schramm was a genius and made the image of the Cowboys what it is today. He understood what Cheerleaders could do for a team. He made the deal about playing every Thanksgiving day when nobody else wanted it. Now the owners want the league to go back on the deal Rozelle gave Schramm. Not a chance. America's Team will always play on Turkey Day. Tradition.

And if that isnt enough, just do a google search for America's Team. Also try one for Big Blue, for any Giants fans here. That one links to IBM so looks like they are out of luck lol.

Can't wait to see the childish attacks this post gets, and what creative things people type in the quote window. Like the one guy in the other thread said "I Like Lamp".

Hopefully this ends all the nonsense and these posts can return to talking about what happens on the field when the Cowboys win big on Monday night.
