I would not doubt it being football popularity is greater than Baseball and the Cowboys are the most recognized team

There may be several NFL teams that are bigger than the Yankees. The NFL is just head and shoulders above MLB. Regular season NFL games bring in higher ratings than the World Series even if the Yankees are in them. Every year the NFL does not play one of its primetime games(it is usually the sunday night game) that goes up against the World Series because the networks know that it more people would tune in to watch football.

So, yes the Dallas Cowboys are bigger than the Yankees right now.

Well I can't speak for everyone but I do know in San Antonio there are very few Yankee fans (not counting our huge military population who most likely have a lot of Yankee fans).

How many Cowboys fans are in NYC?

As a Cowboy fan, I'm probably biased and besides I'm not a baseball fan. Watching baseball sitting at home in front of a television is boring.

Anyway, agree that our star is bigger then the Yankees pinstripes but that's because football is bigger then baseball--at least in much of America. Heck, they gotta advertise baseball and other sports during football games to push up the ratings for baseball games. Reality is that most games the Cowboys play in prime time (including 2nd half of Fox doubleheader) draw huge ratings; if a writer wants draw lot of attention to his article, he somehow includes mention of the Cowboys; same goes for sports commentators like Skip Bayliss, etc.

BTW: I'm not a Kornheiser fan, but I believe he said Cowboys were bigger then the Yankess. He also said when talking about the Eagles WR position that the #1 Eagle WR was playing for the Cowboys. Thought that was amusing.

NO plain and simple - Tony Clownhesier forget to mention that the Yankees sell on an Int'l level far more than Dallas.

I'm not so sure about that.

A lot of it is based on money. Forbes has the Yankee's valued at $1.3 billion while Dallas is at $1.6 billion.

Didn't Cornheiser reference that his assessment was USA based?

 

[ddh33]

The fact that it was Tony who said it really surprised me. If he thinks so, after being a NYC guy, living in the NE part of the country, and traveling all over the US, he's probably right...

 

[rexrobinson]

If you count North East and North Central Mexico, then you can say the Cowboys have a huge international following too.

 

[CowboyMark]

Not in championships of course. But in terms of ratings, merchandise, and the number of fans not only in this country but world wide yes we are no doubt.

 

[landryscorner]

Bigger than the yankees, dude the Cowboys are bigger than the MLB, haven't you heard, baseballs dead

 

[Aikbach]

Well the Yankees undoubtedly lead the planet in all time baseball cap sales but they don't inspire the kind of passion nationally that Dallas does.

And Dallas does generate more international sales revenue than the Yankees as a total, excluding baseball caps obviously.

Bigger than the yankees, dude the Cowboys are bigger than the NBA, haven't you heard, Basketball's dead

Oh really? the Yankees play in front of 97% Capacity and their fans don't sellout to visitors ala Dallas...

Right here! Well, not quite NYC, but just outside it. I'm also a Yankee fan, somewhat coincidentally.
