George Preston Marshall owned the skins when we applied for a franchise. At the time he had the entire south as his market. When he and his wife got a divorce she got the rights to the song Hail to the Commanders.
Marshall didn't want another team to be in "his" market to take away from his skins TV time. So he wasn't going to allow then in, he was going to veto the whole deal.
Gil Brandt found out that his ex wife had the rights and she, wanting to nail him one last time sold the rights to the Cowboys.
They said if he didn't vote to allow them in the league they would not allow him to play that song anymore.
Ya gotta love that woman!
