Lebreton: Boycott

[Vanilla2]

softest fanbase in sports.

I agree but for different reasons.

I would say a better idea is to politically organize fans local to Arlington.

This illustrates the rabid sycophantic belief system of those who are blind to truth.

Says the opposite side of the coin.

Anyone know if the Cowboys set a record for revenues again this year, or not?

Dallas, Washington, and Houston are the top 3 revenue teams if I am not mistaken

Houston has 2 wins, skins have 3 wins, and we are 500 for the millionth time

Revenue does not equal wins in the NFL

look at the economies of those 3 cities. having a team in a thriving market>>>having a winner.

Hey Dallas, Texas and Dallas Cowboys Fans..........Your team SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

We already had one boycott thread. At least a local writer gets what it takes to get to Jerry. If you read this column with Jerry's quotes it really is scary what Jerrah thinks

Stop buying Cowboys merchandise as well.

I'm not a local, but it seems like the Dallas media although skeptical of Jerry, don't openly confront him that often. If he got hammered on his radio shows more often perhaps his hobby and media personality fantasy world wouldn't be that appealing to him anymore.

Until recently, with the absence of articles like this, the Dallas media has been going through the motions also.

That was my point. Boycotting isn't effective in a league where wins don't lead to more revenues.

Teams are becoming less and less dependent on ticket sales for their revenue streams. Dallas grossed over 500m last year and had 230m in profit before taxes. A minor boycott would have ZERO impact on Jones. Baltimore Oriole fans having been staging them for years against Peter Angelos and he just keep getting richer and richer. The money is in TV, Radio and sponsorships and Dallas cleans up in those departments.

It seems like some people are suggesting that fans start calling out the media for not calling out Jerry.

With all my posts, you said it best right there

Making Jones the scapegoat makes for a good martyr. Woe is we who can do nothing but suffer that of our tormentor.

I don't think about 'problems' the same way as others do here so my answering your question probably isn't going to do much for you. I think occam's razor is a copout that has been proven wrong ultimately time and again.

But isn't digging at JJ's pride a way of not giving into the woe is me mentality? JJ, if not the sole problem, is a major contributor to the dysfunction of the professional NFL dynamic that is generally the standard.

Is the boycott still on? When's the billboard going up?

 

[zrinkill]

There is fan apathy but for every fake fan

i agree

Jerry has already said he likes the pain although I suspect he's lying.

I think he wants to be loved, liked & thought of as this great smart football guy.

The Cowboys are his Lego toy but he still wants all the kids to walk by & think what he built is cool.

The Grim Reaper will be the only one that stops Jerry from being Jerry. He can't beat that guy.

 

[BigStar]

Nothing today changed anyone's mind I'm sure; we barely beat probably the worst team in the league as is.

It's easy to dance around the question when you are rarely asked it directly.

The organizers hit a snag; they realized they didn't look spoiled and entitled enough so they're waiting until we're in the playoffs to start the boycott.

Yes, because Cowboys fans are "spoiled" by this perennial playoff contender as a result of the structure of this organization. Anyone who has seen JJ's reign of success should not be considered "spoiled" because he lucks into a few playoff one and dones. You sound just as silly
