What can fans do?

Been thinking about this for a couple of days. One thing for certain is that the local media isn't going to carry any torches...another thing for certain, is that Cowboy fans are too passive to get involved in driving across town for any protests. There is no way that any of the brainwashed zombies at AT&T dressed head to toe in Cowboy merch are gonna do anything....they are too far gone, and beyond any help. Than I remembered 1999, 2006, and 2011 in regard to the Dallas Stars and Dallas Mavericks respectively. ALL OVER THE DFW AREA you saw those little clip on flags that went above the drivers and passengers doors in support of the teams....vehicles had stuff painted on the side and back windows. Soooo.....how about getting the message out via vehicles. Somebody could make a KILLING right now selling bumper stickers with choice verbiage, and the 1st amendment would make for some pretty choice messages directed at Booger and Chuckles painted on windows....I really do think it would take off....especially when it starts to be common place. As mentioned on 105.3 The Fan this morning, do y'all realize that the thirty (30) year mortgage you took out on you home back in 1996 will be paid off before "your boys" reach a NFCCG....let that one sink in!!!

Stop showing up and stop buying merchandise

That’s the only way Jerry or Stephen will put together a quality team and staff

It’s like any other job, if the owner of the plumbing company doesn’t hold anyone accountable and they leave more feces in the bathroom than it started with you no longer contract them out and the company dies

Don't buy swag. Don't wear any old swag from the before times. Cowboys fandom has to disappear from public view.

Don't buy tickets to any events at the Death Star. That includes Cowboys games, college games, high school games, Taylor Swift concerts, etc.

If possible, watch the games on "alternate" streams so Jerry does't get any advertisement dollars.

Because those fans are fans they will follow their team. I will follow the team. Does not mean I need to agree or like what they are doing, or not doing. But I have been a life long fan, and will continue.

If you want a revolt then take initiative. Get a group together and go out there and lead them. Instead of like many on here. Come in to post about it. This does no good at all.
Only makes one feel better living in the misery with other keyboard GM's.

But to each their own though. Let fans be fans.

Despite living 40 minutes away, I didn't go watch my Sun Devils in the Big 12 Championship Game....it killed me, but made me feel proud to take a stand.

You can’t be loyal to the point Jerry is pulling his pants down and taking a steaming one in peoples mouth

Last offseason was just that and I didn’t watch one game because that was unacceptable any other GM would’ve been fired on the spot

Fans like you is the reason Schottenheimer is going to be the next head coach.

Jerry doesn’t have to care with fans like you.

The most effective way to convey the fans’ displeasure is to quit buying branded merchandise and showing up to games…once sales and attendance start dropping, taking money out of Jerry’s pocket…then MAYBE change is effected.
However, how each and every fan chooses to demonstrate their displeasure is completely up to them; we all have different a threshold.

Don’t spend a dime on anything Cowboys related.

Don’t watch the games either.

Agree except watching the games.
As I keep saying if you are not monitored by neilsen co. it does not matter what you watch.
No one knows what your watching.
cable companys know if you use a dvr, but those ratings dont count.
Also..
Jerry does't get any advertisement dollars
That isnt how jerry gets money lol , network tv makes money on commercials, but the nfl doesnt get any of that, and they sell time for ads
and that is before ratings are known. They know nfl games get good ratings so they chg a high rate on ads.
Jerry makes money on sponsors, like the official beer of cowboys official pizza or soft drink etc. ATT pays him a lot of $ yearly.
All the events at the stadium make $ , Home games are lucrative and a big part of his yearly profits.
Thats why nfl wants more home games.

Has nobody considered the " Wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one gets filled faster", method?

It's seems to be sage advice

I was surprised that training camp was so poorly attended last year. More of that. Some empty seats during the games would be nice too.

I'm not saying do it but at least consider assaulting Jerry and Stephen if you run into them in public. You're not fanning right if that doesn't cross your mind.
Well you cant touch them, but fans could say something negative about what they do or dont do.

the type of people who are most of the ones going to games, will continue on doing it no matter what.
They dont follow the team like we do, they see some stuff on the news and just go to games and play with their cell phones lol.

Also anyone who decides to not go will sell their tickets, so somebody else goes lol. It is hard to hurt them in that area.
Bill boards are the best idea, but no one has done it yet.

Not true with official steaming sites. They can track every unique viewer.

I said it late last summer, that there will purposely be reconfiguration of the bleachers for training camp in Oxnard to hide the empty stands....because attendance will suck beyond belief. Can't wait to hear Booger's excuse...I hope to God he doesn't use the California fires or some other offensive BS.
