Well said!I don't. Nobody ever spent a nickle to watch Jerry sit in the owners suite. Players are the product and careers are short.

Why would ANY fan side with a player? How does a player getting a huge salary or dictating to a team help the team win?
ANY fan with half a brain would want players signed for reasonable, bargain type contracts. Rarely happens, but.
The salary cap has brought parity to the league and created interest that would not exist otherwise.
I dont think its exactly a siding with ownership thing. I think fans look at it from the perspective of these players are playing a game...a game many of us have played for free, or they look at it as whats the difference between 10 million a year vs 11 million per year and the only reason they look at it like that is because they want to see them back on the field because it gives their team the best chance to win. So fans take it personally because from their vantage point the player cares more about the money than bringing the "fans" joy.Dallas Cowboys: Why do fans always side with ownership?

Without that financial risk, there would not be professional sports....
Players risk severe injury - really - when was the last time an NFL player died on the field? Manufacturing sector has more risk in their job than an NFL player - how about a railroad worker? Don't even try to compare, there are tons of jobs that take their toll, especially when you have to work 40 years at it instead of 10-15.
And no, as much money as possible, there is way too much money in sports - way too much for the value it provides.
And who created the salary cap. The owners. The greed is originated by the owners, networks and sponsors.Guess you never heard of a salary cap? If there was no salary cap fans would not care what each player made.
Someone doesn’t invest everything they have if it’s a high risk for return.High price doesn’t mean low risk. Look what happened to GameStop shares.
Post of the yearThey are football idiots and they will pay Dak because they are no longer a trend setting team and being trend setters is what made them successful.
Now they are the Mike McCarthy follow what everyone else is doing bunch. Smart decisioning themselves to 8-8.
Mahomes was a huge risk coming out of college and replacing a QB in Alex Smith who was having success.
Signing Brady, getting rid of Winston, and going all in was a huge risk for Tampa.
Dallas is the safe bunch.. Hiring Mike McCarthy, building only through the draft, signing our guys like Dak & Zeke to whatever stupid number the league set.. That’s the Cowboys.
Owning stock in Diageo, the British conglomerate and largest spirits company in the world is a wise investment. They of course own Johnny Walker and many of the top brands including Crown Royal.Because I have Johnny Walker stock.
I hear what you’re saying.
But my ultimate point is. The salary cap is an artificial construct, that whatever it was created for, acts as a means to limit the salaries can be ultimately paid based on the agreed upon revenue sharing between the teams and players Union.
If there was no cap, each individual team would be ultimately making its own choice for how much they want to spend on their players.
Owners who are wealthy outside of football could even choose to take an overall loss on players salary, in the name of trying to win.
Now the cap does have negative impacts on driving down salaries for mid to low level players as the star players continue to push and soak up more and more of the pie. You’re right about that.
The artificial construct is why fans care about player salaries so much though. If Jerry Jones was losing money on the cowboys. By paying players ungodly amounts of cash in an uncapped league. Would any of us care? I wouldn’t. Maybe other fans would. Idk
Bingo!!! Case in point, Steelers and Leveon Bell.Besides, even if the team overpays a player, how is that all on the player? The team has the option to walk away from it if they feel paying a certain dollar amount is counterproductive, so the team does bear blame
Someone doesn’t invest everything they have if it’s a high risk for return.
The Cowboys were one of the most iconic brands in sports in the country that had fallen on tough times in last couple years. All that was needed was winning. The rest was in place for success.
Losing about a million a month which was reported at the time for entity as such worth 140 million is really small potatoes. Just a small cash flow issue which is fairly easily turned .
Because it's been so long since the Cowboys have even sniffed an NFCC game, the tide is turning. The diehard Cowboy fan that supports ownership above all else is a dying breed. Jerry is a powerful owner but his predecessor won't be unless the Cowboys start winning championships.Dallas Cowboys: Why do fans always side with ownership?

Jerry had a solid track record decades long of being an idiot and the Apple seemingly doesn’t fall too far from the treeIt's an interesting take ........on one side they don't wanna pay Dak and others believe Jerry and Stephen are idiots. So I'm not sure what to think (LOL).
I find it hard to root for millionaires that refuse to be accountable for their short-comings and have the maturity of a ten year old child. They compare their jobs , which pays millions, to slavery and their greed is only matched by their feelings of entitlement that comes from being athletically blessed. It is hard to have sympathy for a person that can work for five years and be set for life, but they want to play the part of an exploited victim.Dallas Cowboys: Why do fans always side with ownership?

I totally agree with this article. Since the 80s, I have always been a fan who sides with the players without which this game flounders. And these players’ careers last a decade if they are lucky, and they should try to maximize their earnings while playing.Dallas Cowboys: Why do fans always side with ownership?
