Calling ourselves America's Team. At the end of the day do you think this is the top reason why people hate us? Fans of other teams, players, the media.
I mean there is probably a myriad of reasons. All of the super bowl success, much of the fame and glory of the nfl over 3 decades of football..., there are quite a few generations of fans that hate the cowboys.
I think what is glossed over is that the media is made up of football fans and football players/coaches... These people are just like normal fans... They hate the Cowboys, we're probably the most popular team in the nation, but we are also the most hated team in the nation.
That carries over directly to our current team and players.
The media also helps control the perception around the team and players.
They don't like Jerry, they don't like Romo. Tons of reasons for not liking Jerry, but a lot of people think Romo is this cocky hollywood type guy who came from nowhere and really doesn't care about football. They hate the fact that he is this big name despite not winning a super bowl yet. They destroy him in the media, with the hopes of destroying his career. They want him out of Dallas, so that Dallas doesn't win a super bowl. They would LOVE to see us get rid of him, and end up with a Tarvarias Jackson type ala Quincy Carter. The media has never been more scared.
Ask yourself why you hear about Cam Newton, Tim Tebow, and Jared Allen, but you don't hear about DeMarcus Ware or DeMarco Murray.
Explain why Philip Rivers was promoted to the status of elite qb and Romo is thrown under the bus. Dude leads the league in interceptions, yet he is getting a huge mulligan for the year, Romo can't even get a mulligan for two games, in which he isn't entirely responsible for.
I hear more about Sanchez and Flacco than I do Romo...
I can't wait til we win, because they won't have a choice but to talk about us. Like I said in my sig, the Cowboys are like Lord Voldermort, and NFL is scared to believe we are back. They WANT you to think that that isn't the case. It's basically the sum of all their fears.
When a season starts the media has two hopes. That we turn out like the Eagles, so they can talk all the crap about us that they can. Or two that we or just average enough that they don't even have to talk about us. Why do you think they want the Giants to win so badly, why they wanted the Commanders to win so badly in the beginning of the year, why they wanted to hail the Eagles as the dream team cometh. The Giants are the last bastion of defense until they are forced to talk about us. Forced to put us in their Top 5s and Top 10s.
They have built up EVERY team in our division this year. I hope you don't think that that's a coincidence.
Why do you think they raked Dez Bryant over the coals all year? Dude is a 2nd year receiver. Did we build him up too much too quickly? Yeah, probably, and like the title America's Team, they didn't appreciate that. Time to tear him down to earth. They don't want this kid to become the next greatest receiver... That doesn't suit their interest.
Romo had a 88.5% passing game... 3 TDs... haven't really heard about it at all this week. Murray is running better than any running back in the league... I don't hear about it. I hear Warren Sapp say he isn't sold on him... doesn't like the way he runs... :/ really...?
