As mentioned above Dallas being a true expansion team in 1960 in the NFL. How many know how that came about?
The Commanders owner did not vote for Dallas to get a team. He did not want a team in Dallas.
So in order to get that vote, Clint Murchinson, obtained the rights to the Commanders bands theme song. And said they were not allowed to play it.
So they made a trade, he gave the song rights to the Commanders, and he voted as the final vote to give Dallas the franchise.
