I think the original poster was making fun of the teams that every few years tries to take the name from us. In the recent past the Patriots, the Packers and the Saints have had people try to claim that they should be America's Team. The problem is that Dallas did not give itself the name, and it was given because of the popularity of the team....everywhere you go, there are Cowboys fans. We still sell out other team's stadiums, we still get the highest TV ratings, we still sell the most merchandise and we are still the most valuable sports franchise in football. These things just don't go away.

That is slipping every year. Do you realize that at one point , a Cowboys Merchsndise sold more than the other teams combined? That was the case during the time that they were labeled as America"s Team. Dallas does not field consistent winning teams. To cling to one season as a sign of success is pathetic. Dallas has not been a consistent playoff contendor in years, too many years.

3 straight years of losing in week 17 and being eliminated from the playoffs then 12-4 followed by a season of awful luck, coaching playing still means we were contenders for the playoffs 4 out of the last 5 years.

No team has ever taken the title away and no team ever will. The America's Team nickname has never had anything to do with winning or losing. Neither has the popularity of the team. You all think it's a coincidence that the Cowboys are the biggest draw in the NFL even after the drought you speak of? There's something magical about the star. There is an aura around the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. It is sad that longtime fans do not appreciate this fact. Be angry about results on the field, but always appreciate the unique qualities that make the Cowboys America's Team. Look no further than the jealous (yes jealous) boos when Zeke was taken at #4 overall. Nobody booed when San Diego picked before us or when Jacksonville picked after us. Why? And what about the look on Ramsey's face when he realized Dallas passed on him? The Cowboys are relevant. There is evidence everywhere. When we have success on the field again, it'll be so nice when certain folks have to clam up.

Seems there are a lot of fans in the middle on here...they claim to be fans but yet seem to hate them at the same time. Or at least hate everything they do and don't do. They criticize all moves good and bad.
Sign X player, the FO sucks, another team signs same X player, the FO sucks.

Now they say they don't care about the Americas team title or we don't deserve it anymore...they sound like the mediots that want to give it to other teams, for no reason...so I say let them go root for a non America's Team...

Yep, they are called Cowboys 'observers' not 'fans' (fanaticals) like I am with the Texans,cause I live close to houston. I follow/observe that team, but don't really care if they win or lose. There's a lot of folks on here who are just observers. I have a buddy who is supposedly a big fan of the cowboys, but when when a group of us get together to watch the game, he doesn't even pay attention to the game, he.ll just ***** and moan at any bad play, Romo/Garrett/jones sucks, and then say, it's about time they did something, on a good play. That's an observer

I am/was thinking very similarly when I read through here....I don't think the OP was trying to say that dallas ISN'T America's Team, just that there are preteneders...no one can or will grab the title...I LOVE that people I work with have to make a point to come to me when Dallas does something, even though they "hate them"...stupid eagles and giants fans (where I live)...my standard response to anyone that is not a steelers fan is "how many rings do your guys have?" oh, less than dallas? thanx for playing along..."
