Their ownership and the ownership before that has never won a Superbowl. Our current ownership has won three....

Think of the 70 year old fans in Minnesota, Detroit, and Buffalo. And Dallas is much better off than a lot of the league.

So?

Which team currently appears to be prioritizing winning to a greater degree?

You guys are like some old dude who goes down to the club showing the young hotties a picture of himself from 30 years ago and expecting it to work.

Current ownership hasn't won in over a quarter of a century. That's where they are, currently.

Back in the before times, Jerry was aggressive, desperate to win...because he knew winning would=$. It worked, and he's been riding that 4 year wave of prosperity ever since. Now he's more concerned with maximum profit for minimal effort.

Current ownership is complacent, content with record profitability. These are not the Cowboys of your youth. These are the TikTok Cowboys. They're Instagram digital creators. OnlyFans for sports fans. All fluff, no stuff.

Yet they still have defenders. Jerry actively trolled the fanbase during the draft, repeating his "all in" mantra. Still, some people feel obligated to stick up for him.... Here comes the "find another team" directive.

The "find another team" group have nothing else to defend Jerry with so they throw that out there because they think it makes them sound like diehards when it really just conjures images of "Thank you sir may I have another!"

lol @ believing any old person will kick it according to someone else's stopwatch. "Jerry is about to ride off into the sunset." When? Right.

And what about the grandkids inheriting the franchise down the road? "They will RIDE off into the sunset too." That cliché is good for anybody at any time.

Woohoo, our history! We rock!

By the way, if you are going back 30 years to talk about how great we are, why stop there? 70-year-old fans of Minnesota and Detroit were alive when they won NFL championships. Heck, the lions won in 1952, '53, and '57, the last one 70-year-olds would be about the same age as 40-year-olds for Dallas' last championship. Cleveland even won 4 in a row.

Oh, and Buffalo won back-to-back AFL championships in 1964-1965.

At this point I just have to laugh at this as if it means anything really to fans of today. Our history is getting just about as old as the ones we mock (like above).

well Riddle me this ,how does this happen at other stadiums?? I thought AT&T was the only one that somehow competitors got ahold of tickets and was able to attend games,

I thought great fan bases don't allow that I thought great franchises wouldn't allow that..

so are we gonna hate on the lions?? I mean how does this happen?? so are you saying that there's going to be an awful lot of purple invading a home game for the lions? I mean how could that be how a big game like this someone explained??

I thought this only happened because of Jerry Jones and the soft fan base that attend games at AT and T ,

I just wanna make sure people realize this happens everywhere This is why the Dallas Cowboys have a big following in other stadiums we literally have a lot of fans go to other games across the country as you can hear it you can see it and you can feel it it's normal I was just being very sarcastic there is no way to stop this....

no that's not how we look at this we look at this as hard as the lions ownership how does the lions team and the lions fan base allow this to happen that would be the negative that this was at our place how does this happen how is it even legal I don't know it's kinda crazy that team can buy up tickets and then sell it to their fan base to make sure they attend seem like there'd be like a stopgap for that.....

But I like the hypocrisy though if this was happening at AT&T we'd be all over Jerry for allowing it to happen but the lions this seems to be pro Vikings instead of where it should be the blame should be how does the lions in a big game how does that stadium the fan base and the ownership allow the Vikings to do this?

I remember here they say you can control this that the people selling the tickets should get drivers license that have zip codes on them and not sell to anybody out of state or however you think they can control it 'cause they can't but this is just me reminding you in a very sarcastic way this can happen but you all being somehow all over wow it must be nice for the Vikings owner well that means the lions owner and the lions fans are all soft and they suck nice to see the flip side isn't it

I think you are really missing the point of the article.

Tickets are allocated so that fans of opponent teams can come support their teams at away games. That is nothing new.

What made this special was that these tickets are expensive given the importance of the game as it is for the division between the upstart Lions and surprising Vikings, so the Minnesota Vikings organization purchased $2 million in tickets for the game and then provided them to their fans at a discount.

That's what made this news-worthy and something to be appreciated regardless of the reasoning or motivation behind it because the end result is up to 1,900 Vikings fans get a chance to get really good tickets that they may not have been able to afford otherwise.

It was a nice thing for the Vikings organization to do for their fans.
