because 5 les happened so long ago. The spurs are in the mist of their le runs.
I have a question for all of you Spurs fans that are also Cowboys fans as well. Please note that I'm not attempting to stir up some dirt in regards to what you may perceive as jealousy. It's just a question and nothing more.
We all know that the Cowboys lost yesterday. You Spurs fans that are Cowboys fans as well were probably pretty bummed just like the many residents of the city of Dallas are today. But you know what I have NOT heard one single Cowboy fan say in regards to the loss? I have not heard the infamous, "Well at least we have 5 les under our belt."
On the flip side, should the Spurs not win the championship this year, you will hear 95% or more of the Spurs fans say, "Well at least we have 4 les under our belts." And they will say this to themselves and towards the fans of the other team that kept them from winning the le.
My question is: Why is that? I'll go ahead and forecast the "You're a Mavs fan and you're just jealous of the Spurs" response right now. But that is not what this is about. I could careless if the Cowboys or Mavs ever win a le (or another le) so keep that in mind when responding to this thread.
Thanks

Simple. People from Dallas are too stupid to remember that the Cowboys ever won a le.
How long has it been since the Cowboys won a le?
Nice way of "not" mentioning they have 5 btw
Cowboys are loved by the entire country, pumped full of money, as mainstream as you can get, over-rated.
Spurs are the Truth.
If you ask me, I don't think it really matters. A loss is a loss regardless of what took place in the past. Having a le or more les does not make losing more "okay".
good point. its cause most Spurs fans are sensitive and not too bright. as for me, i hate the cowboys... em.
this kind of at ude is what makes me desire that the city of San Antonio gets its own Football franchise... how ironic it would be if Cuban creates that new league they've been talking about... that San Antonio may bless a football team as well...
Cuban's not creating the league, Hambrecht is. Cuban will be a franchise owner (LA franchise according to rumor), and a publicity person. We should find out the teams sometime this week, again according to rumor. San Antonio will almost definitely have a team.this kind of at ude is what makes me desire that the city of San Antonio gets its own Football franchise... how ironic it would be if Cuban creates that new league they've been talking about... that San Antonio may bless a football team as well...
Back to topic. I think it's stupid to resort to ring smack. I mean, if you have all these rings, especially if they are recent, and you still got beat, doesn't that make the other teams accomplishment MORE?
I was so happy Cowboys lost. they are like the Lakers, full of bandwagon fans
So if the Spurs played the Cowboys in a baseball game who would win?
[QUOTE=adam8065]Um...Dallas hasn't won a damn playoff game in 12 years!!!!!!!!! San Antonio is the defending NBA Champs there is a huge difference! [QUOTE]
So if the Spurs don't win it this year, then what's the difference?
(None.)
While that doesn't make too much sense, I'd still be willing to bet that if the Spurs lost this baseball game against the Cowboys, then the Spurs fans would once again say, "Well we've got more les in the last 10 years than you do."
dallas fans, be it cowboys or mav fans, are passionate, but they're the most fairweather fans i've seen. i've lived in dfw metroplex for almost 15 years and you'll win the super bowl after one victory and you're crap if you lose a game. i know every city is like that, but it is no joke in dfw metroplex. plus cowboy fans aren't as stupid acting as mav "fans" can be.
[QUOTE=mavsluva][QUOTE=adam8065]Um...Dallas hasn't won a damn playoff game in 12 years!!!!!!!!! San Antonio is the defending NBA Champs there is a huge difference!we tried to explain it to you. Now anything more from you is excuse city for your choking teams.

I love the Cowboys, but there's obviously something wrong with the City of Dallas.
All I know is that when people in Dallas ask me why I am still wearing an old Houston Oilers jacket that I can tell them that it's because the Oilers have won as many playoff games in the last ten years as the Cowboys.
mavsluva...I WHOLEHEARTEDLY DISAGREE WITH THE ARGUMENTS ABOVE.
My reason is: I think you're question is a little superficial...it has nothing to do with time nor the importance of current vs. past. If ever a team has reached the pinnacle of a championship in a sport, they should be revered for that accomplishment.
HOWEVER...we're not comparing apples with apples. We're talking about 2 different sports. Your insinuation is obviously geared toward your love for the Mavericks and you will try to make some comparison to a football team's accomplishments vs. ours. OKAY...we "GET IT". We don't HAVE a football team to cheer on, so many of us have adopted yours.
But if we're going to talk about basketball (which we try our best to on a BASKETBALL forum), let's talk basketball. Let me explain: If we had an NFL franchise and 0 championships and your Cowboys had 5, you'd think it INSANE if we as NFL fans discounted the FIVE TIMES you won just because you haven't won one lately. You still won. You still went down in history. In my scenario, I haven't any reason to discount yours.
I don't care about the rest of this mumbo jumbo post. But I'm curious as to why you don't care if the teams you love win a Championship?
Do you know how, say, at Christmas, if you give an adult a nice gift, he or she might use it and appreciate it for years, whereas some spoiled kid might play with his new toys for 30 minutes before he gets bored and starts whining again?
It's the same dynamic.
So you know exactly how many Spurs fans there are in the world and you were able to talk to each one of them and determine that 95% always drop the "We won 4 rings" card.On the flip side, should the Spurs not win the championship this year, you will hear 95% or more of the Spurs fans say, "Well at least we have 4 les under our belts." And they will say this to themselves and towards the fans of the other team that kept them from winning the le.
Wow....you must have a lot of free time.
So why are you bringing it up?
bc he has 0 NBA championships and 0 NFL playoff wins in the last decade to take pride in ...
Because we barely just won the championship. Not like the cowboys who won years and years ago. Plus we would still have the same 3 who won us our championships next year which gives us help that we could win more.
Why don't I care? It's because my team is not sleeping in my bed or paying my bills at the end of the month. I watch my team because I enjoy the sport. And if I can't remember the sole reason as to why I'm watching the game, then I simply don't watch.
My passion and pride does not reside in how my sports team performs. My passion and pride resides in things that actually love me back (family and friends).
