The four types of Cowboy fans:
1) The glass is spilling over: This type of fan thinks we are Superbowl bound every year. They get mad at every negative news article, negative post, etc…. They do not want to hear anything negative about the team they love. They accept anything the team does and gives it their full support. They would never post anything negative themselves.
2) The glass is half full: this type of fan thinks we are almost there just a step away from the Superbowl held out only by injuries or bad luck and next year will be our year. This fan can tolerate a little bit of negative news, post, etc… but not too many. They almost always make positive post but occasionally can drift to the negative side albeit temporarily.
3) The glass is half empty: this type of fan loves the Cowboys but sees issues they desperately want corrected whether it is the owner, the coach, or a player. They could never root for another team but are unhappy due to issues they want corrected. They tend to post negative things and at times get carried away with it due to frustration but will also defend other areas of the team that think are positive.
4) The glass is shattered: this type of fan can’t seem to find anything positive about the team. They are mad at everything usually blaming the owner for anything and everything.
Although these are stereotypes, I think it sums up most Cowboy fans. Truth is most fans drift between the types at different times. I personally have been type 1,2, & 3 over the years and it changes with the team’s success. I lean to #3 at the moment but I started the year as a # 2 based on last season. When I was a child in the 70’s and during the 90’s, I was squarely a # 1. I think most fans are firmly entrenched as # 2’s or # 3’s at the moment and that can create a little friction and frustration on the forum. One thing we all need to realize is that we all love the team even the # 4’s.
