News: CW: Kelce: "That fanbase is built on commercialism and pop culture"

[wecasa]

Well. Jason. At least our fans don't eat horse manure...

The eagles fan base is built on animal waste and a shallow gene pool.

I like it when the Feagles players talk trash before games, usually means we are gonna win...can we get some "Beat Dallas" T-shirts please nothing says "I'm insecure" like those T's.....

 

[mardwin]

He has a point. Many of the younger fans really have not experienced this team's success as we did in the 1990s.

I come across many fans here in the DFW area. And many of them, I can tell how much they really know or not right away.
By comments they make right away by Dak or Jerry, or even back with Romo. I can tell they just parrot what they heard on the radio.

It doesn't bother me, but if they are willing to listen, which most do, they are pretty reasonable. They are fans, not fair weather fans. Just they watch the games, and root for them. They just don't get into it like we do, watch and read every thing. Just what they pick up at the water fountain wether warranted or not.
Like this place is not a water fountain, it is a waterfall.

I heard the same type of fans in South Florida about the Dolphins. My recent trip to Columbus. OH, before the season started. I heard the same stuff from mixed Browns and Bengals fans.
Same as when I was in Jacksonville, FL, and down in Houston.

That's probably fair. We shouldn't expect most fans of our team to be like those on here, because most fans of other teams aren't like those on here.

For the most part, He's correct.

Please explain this. Delve into exactly how or where he is correct. Id be interested to know, because Im a little lost on what he said.

and? what does that mean? Are the younger dolphins fans, well , almost all Dolphins fans the same also since they havent won a title since what.. 1982 or so?

 

[Reid1boys]

Our national fan base might be but not the local core. We hate the Americas Team label.

You may hate it, but why? It is simply a FACT. The team has the largest , most spread out fan base in the country and it isnt even debatable. I dont care one way or the other, but I think it is a good label that describes reality.

 

[Reid1boys]

Make fun all you want but I’ve been to both stadiums… no comparison the passion between the fan bases.

BS.... Passion? Its simple for me... whose fans spends thousands to TRAVEL all over the country to watch their team? It aint the Eagles fans. Go to GB, huge fan showing for Dallas, go to Minnesota, Seattle, Tampa.... it doesnt matter, Cowboys fans travel to watch their team.... that is bandwagon? SMH....

The answer to your question is in the article

It takes a special fan to throw batteries at Santa Clause.

You do realize that there is no such thing as Santa, right?

Right, screw that guy wearing a Santa suit. Chunk em if u got em.

 

[Whyjerry]

He isn’t wrong. The organization is more about brand than winning. It’s obvious.

 

[Strykerscm]

That was the Vet, demolished over 20 years ago but if you want to keep running it out there go ahead.

It not really even necessary to talk about Philly. Their town is a dump infested with crime and degenerates. The only redeeming part of the eagles is they are usually really excited when they get to play the cowboys.

We hate it for the reasons Landry warned initially that it places a target on our backs.

It’s created bulletin board material for other teams and players along with hacks and trolls in the media. And now social media.

We are the #1 hated team in the country. That can’t be a good thing. Except for it has driven viewership as opposing fans love to watch and root against us.

Originally our interest from outside our local and regional TV coverage area was driven by our success on the field which created this national base. But with the AT label it’s also created this negative vibe.

 

[Fontaine]

And the eagles fan base is built on stupidly and ignorance.

Certainly isn’t built on a winning tradition that’s for sure.

Are they spending thousands to travel all over the country or are they part of large spread out fan base who goes to the game when they are in a city nearby? My guess is the latter is closer to reality.

I don't believe Cowboys fans are in general any more passionate then any other fans and in the big picture, the significant amount of media exposure the Cowboys get does lead to more casual bandwagon type fans than most teams will have.

 

[kumizi]

He’s right

The only reason the Cowboys are popular is those of us that were kids when they were actually good 25 years ago are grown ups now that spend money and prop up the teams value and popularity.

 

[G2]

Are you Presgoat? That name change a few months ago threw me off.

Nope

 

[jazzcat22]

Does that mean Rowdy is not real either?

 

[mardwin]

The Dolphins' fan base is not even half of what the Cowboys' fan base is. The Cowboys continue to be popular not because they are a winning franchise but because they are seen as the cool team = pop team. Nobody commercializes an NFL franchise like Jerry Jones, nothing wrong with Kelce's statement just stating the obvious.
