Twitter: Jason Kelce: "We just care that you beat the Dallas Cowboys"

[Romo_To_Dez]

The way that Eagles fans make the Eagles beating the Cowboys their entire life's meaning. lol The full quote is. "We don't care what you do throughout the rest of the season, we just care that you beat the Dallas Cowboys."

So, they all want a piece of the cowboys....what else is new?

 

[Hawkeye19]

Suck eggs Kelce… Cowboys fandom is not “built on commercialism”. It was built by guys like Murchison, Schramm, Landry, a host of Super Bowl winning, HOF caliber players that dominated the league for many years and became “America’s team” over time.

Jimmy Johnson built the first dynasty in the 90’s after rescuing the franchise from the abyss, and THEN Jerry Jones marketed the hell out of the “brand” and turned it into the world’s most valuable sport franchise. And that’s where the comparisons to the Yankees and Lakers can stay

But the foundation of our franchise is excellence, tenacity, and discipline. The Eagles foundation is built on failure, hot piss, loud-mouthed radio jockeys, and fans that throw eggs and batteries at people and cheer when players have career ending injuries

 

[viman96]

So Birds fans are real and Cowboys fans are fake. Got it.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Yeah that's always been a thing.

And what's sad is, they will always care more about us than we care about them.

 

[Ranched]

Here's what former Eagles Seth Joyner has stated lol.

 

[Beaker42]

Hey Jason - kiss our a$$e$.

 

[fivetwos]

Uh no. I’ve heard plenty of local media and when they stink but beat Dallas once a year, no one is all that happy.

But yeah we get it.

 

[Cowfan75]

I think we all know what the Philly fan base stands for: not using toilet paper.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Man, I want to beat them so bad on Sunday. I really with Dak was healthy.

I think we still have a great chance.

 

[maryquality]

It's every team's super bowl when they're playing the Cowboys!!

It's not every day you get a sane person wanting to be a Philidalphian.

Could not have said anything more true.

The whole "Cowboys fanbase is built on commercialism" is just a patented falsehood that Kelce loves to run his mouth about every year. The NFL is a business. Every team is built on commercialism.

All fanbases have some unique traits and while it is probably true that Dallas has a higher % of casual fans than other fanbases due to the mass appeal of the franchise (kind of like the Yankees), I would say something that many of us gravitate toward with the Cowboys as an idea is really the tradition of excellence and "do it the right way" success. This starts with Roger, Lily, Pearson, and Landry and has most recently been Troy, Emmit, and #88.

Our fanbase as a whole has never been ridiculously disrespectful or downright criminal at games and honestly I think no one should want to be associated with that kind of behavior. People at sports games that get blacked out, throw things at players, fight in the stands, and scream profanities around children are scum. The Eagles franchise (until the 2017 Superbowl) was essentially nothing but a history of disappointment, underachievement, and disgusting fan behavior.

Philly fans will always have an inferiority complex with the Cowboys. They care far more about us than we do them. I think that speaks volumes to the richness of the franchise's history of success.

..I sense jealousy in all this. Such a sad predicament to let yerself be in..

 

[nightrain]

Kelce had too many concussions?

Disagree, Hawkeye.

The pattern was set long before Booger took over and he learned promotion and marketing of a NFL franchise from Schramm. It is textbook commercialism and very successful.

Schramm was a visionary and out front of cultivating fans when other teams just waited for them to come to them. He built the largest sports radio affiliate base and then took on Mexico and had a network beyond anything the sports world had ever seen.

He didn't coin the term America's Team but heard it once and took it for his own and that became his brand.

The Cheerleaders were nothing more than commercialism and successful even beyond Schramm's vision.

He had the Midas Touch with marketing long before Booger ever showed up, all he did was use that template and add his mouth to the marketing.

The Dallas Cowboys are THE very definition of commercialism and not just within the sports world but the business world as well.

 

[JayFord]

imagine being a fan and 2-15 is fine as long as those 2 wins come against Dallas

Why would any Cowboys fan be surprised by this? The same exact thing can be said about our fans wanting to beat the Eagles, Washington, et cetera.

Hey Dallas, the last time y'all won a Super Bowl these draft picks wasn't even born yet.

When I heard him say that, I done the math and he was right. I couldn't even be mad at him. We can't keep holding on to those 5 rings and calling ourselves a historic franchise. We haven't done jack crap in a quarter of a century. So, if we are another team's Super Bowl, I understand that. Because, we keep bragging about wins that happened, a lifetime ago. The five time Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys.

I want us to win another Super Bowl, so we can throw it in these guys faces. Until then, they got us with that unborn draft picks crap.

I lived in Harrisburg PA for 3 years during Buddy Ball and had always thought that Cowboys hate was overblown, it wasn't.

And Buddy Ryan seized on that better than any HC ever did and took that to a frothing at the mouth level of hatred. There has always been this bitter rivalry between Philly and New York but nothing like the hate for Dallas from those Eagles fans. And even the normal Eagles fans I met up there had this special hate toward the Cowboys.
