Every year this topic comes up and the media loves to hate on the Cowboys because they know it generates a lot of clicks and views, and let's face it, 30 years of post-season failure makes them an easy and justifiable target.
Every year they designate some other team as the real "America's Team". Their easy-in-the-moment picks were the Patriots for years with more recently it being the Chiefs every other year and sometimes the Eagles because they have a great year every so often.
There were even some media pushing for the Detroit Lions becoming America's Team over the last couple of years after they finally won their first playoff game in 30+ years.
As long as the Cowboys generate high TV ratings, dominate the news and continue having a lot of people loving or hating them more than other teams, the Cowboys will remain "America's Team".
If/when the Cowboys ever win another Super Bowl, the "America's Team" title debate will reset immediately and sports media will be saturated with "America's Team is back!" headlines.
Until then, the media will continue to generate clicks and views from Cowboys homers and haters while many Cowboys fans try their best to guilt the Jones family into making big changes by supporting the, "Dallas Cowboys are no longer America's Team" narrative.
Personally, I don't care who claims ownership of the "America's Team" title.
The only thing I care about is winning Super Bowls and one day it would nice for the Cowboys to win one or more of those again to justify the unwavering support by millions of Cowboys fans after 30 years of failed seasons.
