How many people dont like the dallas cowboys

[samikeyp]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Additionally, how stupid is it to hate the Dallas Mavericks yet give full support to the Dallas Cowboys? If moronic San Antonio area cowboy fans weren't so dogged in their support for the team we probably would have gotten our own NFL team years ago. Another reason to despise the Dallas Cowboys and their brainwashed San Antonio area fans.

Although I don't hate any team I can tell you, at least in my opinion, its not a city thing, its a team thing. Plus the Mavericks are a direct rival of my favorite basketball team.

Didn't you agree with me earlier in this thread that someone should be loyal to their team no matter where they live?

I do have a question though...if not the Cowboys, then who should SA area fans root for? They have no NFL team of their own. Shouldn't a fan have the right to root for whomever he or she chooses to?

I do agree though that the enormous Cowboys fans base in SA is a roadblock to getting an NFL team in SA. Not just with the fans but with Jerry Jones. He understands that SA is a huge Cowboys market and would, IMO, try to do things to prevent an expansion team or a relocation. I do also believe that if San Antonio ever did get a team, you would see a bunch of people support that team just as much. I can only speak for myself (because to speak for an entire fanbase, or to assume that fanbase is of one mindset is ignorant) but for me, hometown loyalty supersedes everything else. If San Antonio got a team, they would become my #1 team.

I guess all teams hold their preseason games at their own arenas for their local fans? The Cowboys don't have any obligation to host their preseason games at the Alamodome if they have camp there. They probably wouldn't even sell 1/3 of the seats for a preseason game...no one gives a about preseason, and the ones that do probably just want to watch some football, so they'll watch it on TV not go to the game. Seriously if someone handed me tickets on the 50 yard line with paid air travel and hotel to Colts preseason games I wouldn't even go.

That is correct. The local fanbases are the biggest so they hold them there mostly for that reason. Also, a lot of preseason games are tied into regular season ticket packages. Like you can get tickets for this game, and it comes with this preseason game. Although if Jones did have a game at the Alamodome, you would see it pretty full. They have done it before (1993against the Oilers) and even without Aikman, Irvin and Emmitt playing, they sold out. If you had a Cowboys-Texans preseason game there, it would sell out between the Cowboys fans here and in the valley as well as the Texans fans here and in Houston.

I would agree with you on the preseason game thing, J.T. I went to a Cowboys pre-season game with some friends who had tickets and it was not really worth it.

There is one thing that as a Cowboys fan I don't like. I have been loyal to that team since birth. I lived through the 1-15 season as well as the Super Bowl years and I can't stand the amount of Bandwagon fans the team attracts. I saw people with Cowboys gear on in the early 90's who just a few years before would have nothing to do with them. Honestly, I have more respect for a Redskins or Giants fan who has been loyal to their team through bad times and good than a Cowboys fan who jumped in when they started winning again. I know all winning teams attract bandwagoning s but it seems the Cowboys get a unusually high share and it makes those of us who have been loyal the whole time look bad.

That is the stupidest thing to say. Its a franchise thing, not a city thing. And I doubt being Cowboy fans has anything to do with SA NOT getting an NFL franchise. Evident by how full the Alamodome got when the Saints were in town.

So if SA had gets their own team, you going to jump off your redskin bandwagon?

I live in Michigan now but I will always be a Texan.

Much like the Oilers were, the Texans are my AFC team.

Thats why you kick ass Mike. Same goes for you Evan. Its a shame that more cowboys fans can't be the same. For example when Austin decided to show the ans games over the Texans, who laughed at me? Cowboys fans that live here of course. Saying crap like I would much rather watched VY than the Texans and the Texans don't deserve to be on TV and yada yada. One of the guilty cowboy fans posts here and will prob deny it. I feel like if you live in your home state you should have 2 options available to you. Texans on CBS and Cowboys on Fox.

Thanks man.

I feel for fans like JT and Breslihac who live in areas away from their favorite team. We are in Lions country and needless to say its quite different. Props to them and anyone who stays loyal.

Yeah I know it must suck. Im eventually going to move to Houston, maybe within the next 2 years and im getting Texans and Astros season tickets. The one that that will suck is not being able to watch the Spurs. I do like the Rockets and support them but I wouldnt call myself a "fan". I do know that when SA plays in Houston I will be wearing silver and black for sure!! When that does happen im going to have to get the NBA ticket package to watch them.

Go Cowboys

You had better believe it. Like samikeyp says when San Antonio gets its own team I will be their number one fan. I will still pull for the Redskins but my heart is in my hometown of San Antonio. For San Antonio to have its very own team is all I've ever wanted. BTW I was at all three Saints game played at the Dome in 2005 and I enjoyed them immensely.

That will never happen.

How about move the skins to SA, that would be the best of both worlds for you

That's rich coming from a poster who can't stop berating the Cowboys. You don't root for them so why should I root for the Texans?

Can't have it both ways bud.

Obviously you missed it when I said I don't hate them but my hate derives from a certain poster here. Yes I bash them, but its usually to get a rise out of some of the guys whos panties get all wadded up. Also I could care less who you root for. If your not a Texans fans fine with me, thats your choice.

How many Sunday/Monday Night games to the Texans get this year?

Sounds like excuses to me. I've read enough of your asinine posts to convince me you hate the Cowboys. Which I could care less if you do. At least man up and admit it.

For the first time in Franchise History we have a monday night game against the Jags.

Dude I could care less what you think about me and what I have "convinced" you of. If you want to think I hate cowboys then fine, think that. I don't hate any one team, well except for the Pats, but thats because I hate Brady and their cheating ass coach.

[ATRAIN]

Nice....

Yeah im going to try to go to that game. IM not totally convinced we earned that game, more of the league feeling sorry for us and a way to showcase the jags against a divsion rival.

Mario Williams, holmes.

[ATRAIN]

Mario Williams, holmes.

He did turn some heads last year but did it too late. Hopefully Okam and Okoye can free up Mario some. He won't get doubled up as much as he had in the past. Hopefully Colvin can stay healthy and help out as well. Im really excited about our young defensive line.

[mookie2001]

i have to agree with midget

during the superbowl years i specifically remember scoffing the out of my uncles and cousins for bloadding chode over the cowgirls, because vtown was our playground i knew for a fact they had never been anywhere near dallas, they shouldve claimed the mavs and oklahoma too

i really dont know whats funnier the mavs last two playoffs or the girls

[j-6]

i really dont know whats funnier the mavs last two playoffs or the girls

That's a very good question.

I guess I'll take the Mavs since one year they were the best regular season team in the NBA (and got tossed by the 8th seeded Warriors in short order), and then traded their future for Kidd and got bounced by a very good Hornets squad - but as a 7 going up against a 2.

Nobody really expected playoff football from the '06 Cowboys when Romo bobbled the snap vs Seattle, and they lost to the eventual champs last year, upset or not. Miami upset the Mavs in '05 for the le (before the question's parameters) but that didn't make the trophy any less important. You add in the 05-06 season and the Mavs win hands down.

lol Atrain

So basically "thanks Mike and Evan, you all kick ass because you support my team even though I wish your QB gets his knee's blown out"

lol, pansy

Oh no, guess you'll call me an estalker again, since really, thats all you got.

Enough about you though, Cowboys are my NFC team. I use to hate them in the 90's, but they grew on me when my Oilers left. I've been and Oilers/ ans fan for life. I have quite a disdain for the Texans though, mostly because of the chode "new" fans I've come across. They just need shut up and accept the reality that they are the NFL's new "Arizona Cardinals"
