Cowboys now worth 15.5 billion

[Kwyn]

EXACTLY. Perfectly said.
#Emphasis: And these profits come off of 2 consecutive 7 win seasons.

It makes no business sense whatsoever for a failed NFL commodity like this to generate these net gains.

It's one of the world's and life's biggest mysteries as to how such continued financial success is possible while achieving no onfield success whatsoever in 3 decades.

Not a mystery. See post 81

LOL at cowboys fans crying. I'm sure the Jacksonville jaguars fans are feeling really sorry us right now.

Just buy shear size those teams will make money. I dont think there is a single major sports league with just one NY team. I think having rivalries in other major markets like Boston and Philadelphia help too. Especially in the social media age. Thats alot of traffic and metions

Size and the fact that New Yorkers have an unhealthy obsession with identifying themselves with their state.

You ever met someone from New York who didn’t mention that they are from New York within the first sentence of meeting you?

Well, it’s not just the Cowboys. It’s most of the NFL enjoying hundreds of millions of revenue and value of billions , several with less success this era than Dallas.

Good call.
It's practically a money making entity regardless of team or onfield success.

It's just how outlandisly out in front the Cowboys are to the other 31 teams is still particularly noteworthy.

This the ONLY thing that matters to Jerry. Not even the 6th SB.

They are good at what they do. People talk talk about Jerry Jones as if he is a moron. He is anything but. What he wants isnt in line with what fans want.

Their profits skyrocketed following two years of missing the playoffs

When you're worth 15 billion dollars your priorities our little different than the guy who punches the clock and lives paycheck to paycheck.

You can afford to do things anyway you so desire and if that means working and employing your whole family doing jobs they aren't very good at then that's what you're able to do when you're a multi-billionaire.

You feel like putting winning a Super bowl for the fans on the back burner and creating generational wealth for your grandchildren well that's your prerogative.

We long time fans just accept the scraps that Jerry throws us now and again.

Yes, but it’s totally explainable. The Cowboys have 20-25,000 more seats to sell than most NFL cities and as a result attract more stadium sponsorships .

 

[Kwyn]

But it wasn’t the Cowboys who were going thru bankruptcy. It was their owners. Big difference.

no. It’s not.

You’re moving the goalposts.

The Feds seizing ownerrship shares of a of a team has never happened except this one time.

Not sure why you’re trying to minimize what happened.

But that’s fine. Go ahead and believe that.

In passing a hat around who wants in to get a piece of the cowboys?

bum Bright was bankrupt and they were seizing his assets
and the Cowboys were a part of his assets
I really do not understand your desperate need to make it anything else.

 

[Reid1boys]

The Lakers sold today for 12.5 billion. Better rethink what the cowboys would go for if they were put up for sell. 24 billion?

 

[Reid1boys]

All that money will get us a ring soon!!

all that money means nothing, since the cap means you cant spend more than the cards on players.

 

[bigE79]

Jets at 5.

New York, New York.

Muck New York

100%, the clock punchers will never ever understand.

Recall living thru that watching the local news and reading the local papers as it unfolded. It was all about our owners bankruptcy and Savings & Loan scandal not the Cowboys financial woes.

It was actually the value of the Cowboys which bailed out Bum Bright and his partners. And as soon as the Cowboys were out of their ownership all of the action against the Cowboys were lifted .

It’s important to present the accurate context in which those acts were filed as the Star Telegram did.

The Jones family has so much money, that money is not the point. How fun would life be if all you did was...... NOTHING? 10 bill, 20 bill, 50 billion. At what point does it just not matter? The Jones family is not selling this team in my lifetime.

Well, you never know what happens after Jethro is gone. Will the siblings squabble any on who runs the team. Will one want to buy out the others . And to prevent their children from the frustrations and or confrontations moving forward.

We’ve had many NFL ownerships over multiple generations within a family but rarely with more than one survivor involved with the team that I can recall.

We’ll see if the kids all have the same passion as their dad did to stay in the spotlight and how they all get along.

I think there’s hope they might at some point decide to sell out. Remember this was their dad’s dream to be a celebrity football guy and owner , not theirs.

 

[DuncanIso]

Twice as profitable as any other team in the league.

I will take this over any Super Bowl.

Jerry knows how to make $$$

I knew the haters would love this.

 

[Diehardblues]

That's why I don't credit Jerry for the Forbes ranking or being some kind of financial genius. The Cowboys would be worth a couple billion more without Jerry by winning a SB once or twice the last 30 years.

Quite frankly, Jerry is losing money from where the Cowboys would be without that idiot holding them hostage to his ego.

Maybe , maybe not. Obviously when you look at the top 5-10 teams in revenue and value it’s not about success on the field .

It’s mostly about their stadium size , stadium sponsorships and media markets .
