If you are from Texas, particulary the Dallas area, what do you think of Dallas fans from outside the area?

They are not our home team. We had been exposed to them alot when we were kids and adopted them as our team.

I know what makes the Cowboy brand so powerful is their global appeal. But as native Texans, do you feel you are more of a fan or that fans outside the area are not the same as we admire them from afar?

I had some debates about this and wanted your input.

you are kidding! right? I had this very argument with a skins fan and I thought he was stupid. there are 32 NFL teams. Some areas have multiple teams (ala NY). so if you don't have an NFL team in your region are you a Free Agent FAN? then teams vie for your fandom!! if you live in an area, should you automatically be a FAN of that team? what if you move? what if you don't like that team? can your fandom be for sale? this is not a very meaningful thread.

I bet you a $1000 there are many fans in texas and dallas area that have never been to the stadium and many who are not cowboys fans.

people become FANS for different reasons and they are just as passionate as the fans who live in an area. of course everybody would LOVE to go to a game. I have gone to cowboys games when they have been on the road in my area (DC, Baltimore, Philly).

I don't admire them from afar. I admire them, watch them and follow them religeously.

this is quite stupid IMHO.

I'm a native Texan and I've never given that a single thought, but since you brought it up...IMO anyone who would feel like that is an idiot.

I am not a native Texan but I am going to answer anyway.

I don't think where you are from matters any more. I have a friend here in Tucson who is a Saints fan. He has never lived anywhere but Tucson, Arizona. I have known him for almost 13 years. He has never rooted for any other team.

I have a friend here who is a Bears fan. He has never lived in Chicago or Illinois, but his Dad played college ball with Dick Butkus, so he is a Bears fan. He has never rooted for any other team.

I have a friend here who is from Boston. He is one of the only long suffering Cardinals fans I know. He likes the Patriots, but he loves the Cardinals. He even named his business after them.

Where you are from does not matter one iota to what you love in a football team.

They are my area's home team because we get all of their games on TV. So, Oklahoma and Arkansas are Cowboys Country. We're no different than fans who live anywhere in Texas because of our broadcast coverage. That's how I see it. I'm curious about these questions myself.

Not just because of TV. They'd southwesterners be fans anyway.
Look at Arkansas and Louisiana. Hardly no ones has TVs there and they are very good fans.

What does the green mean? I'm not trying to be a smart aleck. I really couldn't figure out what you were trying to say.

As to the other bold, they may not have TV, but they do have radio. There are radio affiliates in Arkansas and one in Shreveport, Louisiana.
 
My Dad is a Cowboys Fan & that's kind of what made me pay more attention to them & eventually love the Cowboys organization on my own..(didn't grow up with him)

California is the Cowboys second home..I hate the fans in my area. Oakland San Fran fans are idiots..Many don't know the game & just like the team cause of gang relation..Annoying when I know more about their team than they do! When I go to watch the Boys @ Oakland or SF I sport the Cowboys gear with pride. Me & my boys are ready for whatever & don't fear the Blackhole drunk Morons.. Funny Dallas fans fill half of every Game I've been to in Cali..Chargers, Niners, & Raiders. Not to mention Oxnard training camp "crazy".....Makes me proud to be a Cowboys fan in Cali...

Unless you're a Commanders fan on the brink of another sweeping season by the Cowboys, and your only retort is "have you ever been to Dallas!"

Or "you're not from Texas, bandwagon fan!"
 
I have lived in Dallas my whole life I never even considered that many of you were not from Dallas and it doesn't bother me at all. I dont think those of you who cheer the Cowboys on any less fans than I am. I have been lucky enough to see them @ All 3 of their home fields, and have been to 3 Super Bowls to boot. I say the more the merrier and would watch a game with any of you.

It means that because of their geographical nativity of the southwest, they are, in part, connected to the ecological, cultural and societal milieu of the adjoining states and thus, appropriately, Cowboy fans. I hope that is enlightening because I am sure it will be.
