A fan or not

renny · Oct 7, 2020

I'm sick and tired of reading Dak fans as if the poster isn't a Dak fan. Aren't we all Cowboy fans? If you don't support a certain player who plays for the Cowboys, then I question if you are a true Cowboys fan. This is really sicking and we deserve what we're getting right now. All this whinning, crying and LYING is old. This fan base here is really becoming the laughing stock of the NFL.

Then you support the entire Defense too? And the owner? And the coach? Or does this only apply to Dak? Please enlighten us more on what being a "true Cowboys fan" means.

Amen! I get it, we all gripe about the team or players. Its part of the game. Salud!

If you dont support them, you're not a fan. Criticize them, cuss them out etc.. ...but if you dont support them, you don't belong.

Do you absolutely love being around every single one of your family members? Chances are, you don’t; chances are, a few members in your family annoy them piss out of you. But it doesn’t change the fact they’re family.

Same with the Cowboys. Fans are allowed to get upset/dislike players when they underperform. This isn’t a love-fest. I want wins. I want every player to do well, so in that respect, I guess I “support” them. But if a player is playing like crap, I’m not gonna like it. Or when they’re thieves (like Jaylon and Lawrence), I’ll call a spade a spade. Supporting a franchise doesn’t mean you have to blindly support every member of the franchise.

You can most certainly support a team and not support individuals of a team. If you give blind loyalty to everyone and anyone in a uniform, then you're being disingenuous and lacking integrity. I'd much rather listen to someone who can be objective about the good and bad players on a team, rather than just giving blanket absolution. P.S. And I'd disagree that criticizing and cussing about someone is "supporting" them.

Good to hear that you don’t criticize or cuss our team. You're better that most around here, me included.

I never said that. I said that cussing about a player is not supporting them. And that's fine -- if you don't like a particular player, or coach, or whatever, that's your prerogative. It doesn't make you any less of a fan to the Cowboys team. Now, if you didn't support anyone on the team or somehow intentionally tried to sabotage the team's efforts, then of course that's a different conversation.

Uhhhhh, ok.

I'm a fan of the Cowboys. Not the coaches, the ownership, not the players but the team itself.

That being said, I'm sick of the mediocrity. This organization has the ability to be great but at then end of the day just sucks, and I'm tired of it.

Yes let's support mediocrity...that's the ticket.

Isn't this a place to talk all things Cowboys? lol If the team looked good the response would be mostly positive. If they don't look good which happens to be the case at the moment... negative. Welcome to the forums!

I guess threads like this will always be around. Because you don't do it the way I do, I must question your commitment, your passion. Well get in line with the rest of the fans that tell you to temper your expectations. Are those who have the "real" reason for team failure. Or maybe the posters that tell you why you really feel the way you do.

Now I'm not going to fall in line and question your fandom or tell you what you should or shouldn't do, but may I suggest " with all due respect" a deep breath or stiff drink, and if you have time maybe both

The worst fans are the ones who want to tell other fans how to be fans. You know the super fans, and we have our share here that's for sure. Unless you are here to troll, independent thinking should be encouraged.

The Ominous · Oct 7, 2020

Just freaking win and show up like you want it. All I've ever asked as a fan.

Cowfan75 · Oct 7, 2020

Think exactly how I think, or you aren't a real fan. And support Jaylon Smith.

Another "you aren't a real fan unless...." thread. :huh:
