Cowboys now most valuable U.S. sports franchise

[Mr Cowboy]

The Dallas Cowboys have surpassed the Yankees as the most valuable sports franchise in the U.S., according to the latest Forbes valuations and a comparison done by Business Insider. Both franchises' estimated worth was around $2.3 billion in 2013, but the Cowboys – and many other NFL teams – have jumped significantly in value since then. While the Yankees have jumped to $2.5 billion, the Cowboys are now at $3.2 billion. (Jerry Jones purchased the Cowboys in 1989 for $140 million.) And they're not the only team that's passed the Bronx Bombers, as the New England Patriots are up to $2.6 billion. But perhaps what's even more interesting is Business Insider pointing out that based on another set of estimates, as many as eight NFL franchises are worth $2.5 billion or more, with the Cowboys creeping closer to $5 billion. How 'bout them Cowboys?
