Commonly known to majority as "FOOLS GOLD"
Pyrite received that nickname because it is worth virtually nothing, but has an appearance that "fools" people into believing that it is
gold. With a little practice, there are many easy tests that anyone can use to quickly tell the difference between pyrite and gold.
The nickname "fool's gold" has long been used by gold buyers and prospectors, who were amused by excited people who thought they had found gold. These people did not know how to tell the difference between pyrite and gold, and their ignorance caused them to look foolish
So that takes us to our beloved Dallas Cowboys. For the past 27 years, this franchise has been fooling Cowboys fans with the new stadium, aka: Jerry's World, numerous seasons of .500 records with "the clapper", the traditional collapses after Thanksgiving and the year after year hearing this franchise "has so much talent". Romo has the franchise record of passing yards and TD passes, now we learn that Prescott ties Aikman with 165 TD passes. Neither Romo or Prescott can't get their team to a single NFC Conference game. Neither could even produce back-to-back playoff wins in a single season. Jerry gets on his weekly radio to sell more pyrite and it works. Cowboys are the richest sports franchise worth over 8 Billion. Every year is #1 in Forbes Magazine. The Cowboys get the highest TV ratings and highest attendance of any NFL team. All this without do anything---ON THE FIELD-- for 27 years. Not even a single NFC Conference game.
The selling of pyrite have left the Cowboys fans coming back for more because "fan" is short for FANATIC. Fans want to buy into anything that makes them feel good. I guess that is just part of being fan of anything. So until this franchise can actually buy the authentic nuggets of gold, the Dallas Cowboys franchise will keep selling pyrite and fan base will keep pointing to the 5 Superbowl rings when the franchise was GOLD !
