Did Jerry Jones Stab us Fans and Cowboys Players in the Back for more money, tickets?

[cowboyjoe]

There was a video and report where jerry jones was asked about the bears fans at cowboys stadium. Jerry replied something along the lines yes, I know because we sold them the tickets with alot of bears fans at cowboys last game.

So, is making money more important to Jerry Jones, with ticket sales, (probably to high for some fans) to sell those tickets to the bears fans. If you remember a few years back, (same thing happened with bears playing at cowboys stadium-jerry sold alot of bears fans tickets to make money possibly). Saying this I realize that teams have to sell a certain amount of tickets to opposing teams fans, but with the huge number of bears fans at last game, why? So, what is more important for jerry to have fan base at cowboys stadium more than opposing fans, or to sell tickets for home games to opposing teams fans to get more money?

Dont get me wrong, I like Jerry Jones to a large degree, but is the attitude wrong at the top, starting with jerry jones down to the players just wanting a check, then playing to win championships? In other words, when jerry sells tickets to more opposing fans and the players see this, possibly that jerry is all about making more money than having your home stadium filled with loyal fans, than having or selling more tickets to opposing teams fans just to make money, then are players saying oh, I see jerry, its all about the money, not making championships, so give me the money too, not championships.

Case in point a video was posted with score 38-14 and OT Doug Free could be seen smiling and laughing with OG Bearneadeau on sidelines. So is money and attitude about that coming from jerry jones and being filtered down to the players, its all about the money, not winning championships?

I know some players want to win and play hard, Witten, Romo, Murray, Dez at times, Ratliff, and some others, but I tend to question a players heart like Doug Free who got his 8 plus million contract, but is playing like a jane instead of a tarzan with his finese blocking and attitude at times.

What is he supposed to do, he can't stop you from selling your tickets to whomever you want.

I happen to subscribe to the Disney World/Jerry World theory. I personally know a bunch of Cleveland fans who are making the trip for the stadium and the game, when it would be much more convenient and cheaper for them to go to Pittsburgh or Cincinnati.

They just don't mind spending the extra money to take it all in and watch their team play.

Still, I don't see how that is Jerry's fault...? We complained for years about how much of a craphole Texas Stadium had become and when we get the best stadium in the league you complain.

Its never oneself that is greedy, it is always the other person who is rapacious.

[THUMPER]

As long as Jerry is making money it's all good to him. Too bad for the lifelong fans who want their team to win.

Jerry Jones should what is in his best interest. Generating as much revenue as possible is good for the Dallas Cowboys organization on and off the field.

Did the Bears fans in attendance singlehandedly cause the Cowboys to lose?

Your argument is flawed.

Winning and Profiting are not mutual exclusive

Jerry Jones while at texs atadium came up with some rip off concept about buying tickets to a Cowboy game back in the day.. It basically was a different version of PSL's.. Jerry like ALL ownere only cares bout making money.. Also he cares about winning, BUT ONLY if he gets credit for it... He is a snake, like most rich owners... To me the guy is a complete clown. Its no mistake this team is an average team at best for almost 20 years, its not by accident people

[AmericasTeam81]

Should Jerry Jones not sell tickets to the opposing teams fans? How would such a plan be implemented? How is it moral to discriminate against Bears fans?

How much revenue the Cowboys generate has nothing to do with the product on the field.

The product on the field is limited by the salary cap and the ability of the people Jerry Jones employs to find the talent.

All that the revenue generated does is make the brand popular.

I am tired of being "America's Team".

It used to mean something.

Now it just means we are the biggest sideshow attraction with Jerry Jones as the barker.
