Question for Zoners

[cajuncocoa]

Mr. Cocoa and Jr. Cocoa were having a discussion about this over the weekend. I'm wondering if Zoners feel the same way they do...here's the situation:

If you had the ability to play professional football or the knowledge to hold a front office position, could you play for/work for another team other than the Dallas Cowboys, and if so, could you do your best work for that team?

 

[HappyOnions]

Yes and Yes

If I had the talent to play at the NFL level and a team liked me enough to draft/sign me, then I would do everything I could to perform at the highest level for them. The fandom I have now goes away. There are 52 other guys in that locker room that are counting on me to work as hard as I can; it becomes my job.

If I were drafted by the Bills, I would be a Buffalo Bill at that point on. If I were drafted by the Chiefs, I would be a Chief. Understandably, things most certainly don't always work out the way you want them to, but whatever team I'm hypothetically on at the time, I would give it 100% no matter what.

I'd actually prefer to work for a different organization. My personality type doesn't work well with people who hold positions based on something other than merit.

 

[batman36]

I've thought of that in the past. I love the Cowboys, but I don't think I would want to work in the organization.

 

[egn22]

Easy yes to both.

yes and yes

Our loyalty may be longstanding and deep, but ultimately it's from a distance. We are not privy to much innerworkings and direct communication with the primary players.

If that were to happen with another team, other players spilling their guts for a common cause that I'm an integral part of, you can bet I'd be all in due to my love of the game and the team concept.

 

[cajuncocoa]

So far all of you are in agreement with the men in my family. They think I'm nuts, but I'm not sure I could play/work for any team other than the Cowboys. In fact, I told them I could not.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Yes to both.

 

[StarBoyz83]

I'm sure our whole organization is ran by stealers fans.

 

[YosemiteSam]

I wouldn't play/work for the Cowboys until Jerry was gone at the minimum. Of course I wouldn't play for any NFCE team or the Stealers either. Happiness is more important than anything and I definitely would be happy playing for a team I hate or the asinine behavior of Jerry.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Yes sir and yes sir. Although id prolly work/play for the cowboys for about 10% less cause i luv them

If football was my profession then yes, I would be totally focused on what's best for my career without any team loyalties whatsoever.

However, I would be one of those ultra rare (non existent?) athletes who considered cost of living of an area instead of just the pure dollar value of a contract. So Dallas would have a leg up on many other teams if they were interested in me. Right there I get to avoid state income tax for my residence (yes I know I'd have to pay other state income tax for road games).
