Stephen: We don't want apathy in our fan base

[kskboys]

No playoff success is not acceptable. 12-5 isn’t acceptable if your are built to get blown out in playoffs. I can accept 7-10 for a couple years if they would work to build a winner and go for it when the window is there. We are staring at 7-10 again.

2-15 would be even better.

Well, then stop doing doing apathy inspiring ****

Jerry said he wouldn't talk but Stephen won't shut up.

You guys hired Brian Schottenheimer as your coach. If fans were on the apathy fence before that, they jumped off after.

Ol’ Shotty will lead this club to a Super Bowl, you’ll see.

It’s like death by a thousand paper cuts to listen to these two bonehead Jones boys

Apathy? I don’t have apathy, I think I’ve found hate for this team.

Like insisting on the worst GM in the NFL.

Nico Harrison is the biggest thing to increase interest of Cowboy fans in years.

 

[boysfanperiod]

They definitely have "apathy" with this fan.

 

[John813]

Uh, yeah, if you have a seat license you are obligated to buy the tickets every season, or you lose the license.

I know, just saying I still believe most would renew the license and tickets even if it looked like a down season was blatantly obvious.

 

[Sydla]

Uh, dummy, you are getting apathy now, more than at any point in the last 25+ years.

When you flat out lie to the fans, this is what happens. When you put an inferior product on the field that even fans know isn't good enough, this is what happens. I actually watched the least amount of Cowboys games this past year than I ever have and in some cases, only watched part of a game before tuning out. It's only going to get worse going forward as you continue to mismanage the franchise like you and your father have.

Maybe, but I know several people who sold their seat license after 10+ years, tailgated every game, and went to at least one away game a season. They're done. I sold mine because screw being financially-tied to this organization, and it wasn't even worth the hassle to sell the tickets.

 

[kskboys]

OK, Stephanie, I'll take my emotions out of it.

What you have is a screaming ninny of a GM. He has consistently made horrific decisions over 30 years. Even the homers have given up believing that this GM can put together a super bowl winner. If you really want to squush the apathy, you absolutely need a different GM. Hands down. We haven't won a trade since the Tuna days.

Give up the title of GM or the apathy will continue and get worse. Might get much worse.

Good to know(seriously). Hopefully those licenses weren't sold asap. Just feel like this fanbase is so huge that when a few decide to checkout, there's 5 people wanting in line.

Daddys big boy is all grown up and gets to play with Daddys big boy toys now.

Exactly

More confirmation IT WAS JIMMY JOHNSON

There's actually absolutely zero doubt of that. When they start arguing about it, I don't even bother to comment anymore, is it's just so obvious. Anyone who believe Jerry had anything to do w/ the football operations back then is either on drugs or a major self-liar.

 

[Birch_Wood]

“Unacceptable” is such a weirdly used term by nearly everyone I’ve ever seen use it. People claim things as unacceptable, and then perform actions that indicate they’ve accepted what was “unacceptable”

Another word both Jones use regularly, "certainly ". I use to like the word.

I wish I could like your post a 100 times.

I don’t know that true apathy has kicked in just yet.

For the type of fan that hang around here, I’d say ‘pissed off’ is the general consensus.

For the more casual fan…the type that allows Jerry to get away with his act…it’s probably going to a take few more losing seasons in a row before they start forgetting the Cowboys are playing on a given day.

Fear not…those type of seasons are coming. I’m looking forward to watching the two idiots continue to try to sell the same nonsense at that point. Those fake/hollow 12 win seasons bought them some time with the less passionate fans, but the four free bingo spot wins against Wash/NY are over. 11-1 in those three years and they weren’t trying in the one loss.

This man really wants us to get excited

For what?

This is the kinda team that goes 16-1 and loses the divisional round game by 40
