Twitter: Jerry Is Asked If Getting The World Cup Is Bigger Than Winning The Super Bowl

[MountaineerCowboy]

He didn't say "no".

I need a word more negative than hate to describe how I feel about Jethro

Again. The problem isn’t on the field. It’s in the owners box. You can tell me I’m crazy. Tom freaking Brady could come here and we’d have the same result. The problem isn’t on the field. It’s above it.

A GM who's sole focus isn't the Super Bowl, sounds about right.

A GM who's sole focus isn't the Super Bowl, sounds about right.

A fan who doesn't understand that globally, the World Cup generates far more interest than the Super Bowl. Sounds about right.

That seems like what he said, while avoiding giving a yes or no answer.

Fans get on him for saying too much, then also get on him for saying too little.

Perfect picture of those two slobs admiring a hot dog. Absolute joke, beverly hill billies running a billion dollar establishment.

I think his point is that here is a case where jerry the owner is focused on hosting the World Cup where that time could be focused on GMing.

Why should we care about the World Cup being in Dallas?

I'd prefer the owner/GM of my favorite football to focus more on building a contender and less on bringing big events to his area. If he wants to focus on those types of things then he should hire someone competent to run the football side of things.

Globally?
Soccer is IT.
USA?
Football is it and it's a testament of the power of the US and it's fanhood to even make it a question.

But you go anywhere else on the planet and it's like...
Football what? Is it with all those overweight dudes acting like Sumo wrestlers while a guy throws a ball?

Cricket is a real thing globally.
I don't understand a single rule.
Shame on me.
It looks like baseball with weird bats and completely insane scoring rules.
And a single game can last for over a week.

Of course he didn't say no. All he saw was gigantic dollar signs the second the announcement was made.

World Cup final = watched by 700 million viewers.

Super Bowl = watched by 140 million viewers.

World Cup Bigger Than Winning The Super Bowl?

......Not in the U.S.

The rest of the world can keep their boring, round ball, head bouncing, 1-0 scoring, low contact, kindergarden game.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Jerry haters finding another thing to complain about and hate on Jerry. This has become a daily issue. Seek help.

 

[john van brocklin]

He didn't say "no".

Jerry needs to focus on the Cowboys.

 

[Maxmadden]

Just take one sentence out of a paragraph and it looks like everybody got sucked.

Tnx Bill

 

[Pantone282C]

Yup, soccer rules. So does Cricket.

As a non-American who spent many years living in the United States, I grew to love both sports passionately. They are both amazing.

Jerry, the businessman, answered the question correctly, both economically and politacly. He did a great job being indirect but allowing the interviewer to deduce the obvious... More money is always better and a bigger market equals more money.
