When did the National Media begin to hate the Cowboys?

[cej757]

I was hoping some of our Fans that where around in the early Landry days could give us some perspective on this subject. I've been watching the Cowboys since the early 80's When Danny White was the starting qb and I've never seen the type of hatred towards a Orginazation like I seen over the weekend from the National Media.

Was it always like this with the Cowboys? I remember as a kid some people being bothered by Jerry Jones when he fired Tom Landry and brought Jimmy Johnson in to be the coach but that was about it. When Jerry signed T.O. I definitely started seeing the hate because a lot of the media didn't like T.O.

I was watching ESPN on Sunday and the Greg Hardy stuff had some how become a we hate Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys ##### session. Chris Berman says "You're Americas Team now act like it". ***?It felt like the entire country was rooting for the Cowboys to lose as if Justice was served because of it.

It really feels like there is a deep down jealousy or hatred towards this organization from the National Media. When did it begin?

The refs wanted The Cowboys to lose too........but if you're a cool kid, you can't say that

When ratings and clicks lead to big money.

I guess you're right about that. Smh

Berman is a long time fan of the Bills and the 49ers. Perhaps a part of his resentment is the Cowboys' trouncing of Buffalo twice in the early nineties. Just a small guess. As for others...I don't know.

I disagree. I felt the game was balanced out.

They had some weak DPI calls and so did we to keep our drives going.

I thought they gave maxwell two touchy calls to help better our field position for the tying FG.

You can rear naked choke are guys with no holding call, normal hold I get, but this crap they're getting away with is wearing me thin

Cause all those players on all those teams Dallas used to beat the snit out of back in the day are now on tv as "analysts"

And they have no professional integrity. So they bash Dallas every little chance they get

You mean after they missed a very blatant face mask on Beasley in the open field?

I mean seriously. How do they miss that call?

Because we have always been a classy and respectable team with the best uniforms .

Jealousy is a mofo.

i think it really started when Jerry got into an argument with the NFL over his friendship with the Nike CEO and how he would fly his logo in his stadium no matter what they thought.

That and sportscasters are mostly from the north....they don't like us.

Truth

My sense is the mid-90s when Jerry starting making it about him more than the team.

What are you talking about? Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but if it's the play where Beasley got tackled over the middle, that was very clearly not a face mask, and a great no call.

It's not the calls we get Street/Beasly pick plays its the non calls on other team that piss me off

I didn't see any of that.

I did see some Eagles holding inside the numbers on both our OL and DL. But they were consistently not called as they typically are not

A couple of times, pretty sure I saw a straight tackle with no call too

Maybe. I won't dispute that. But overall, I don't think we got jobbed on calls.

Not this game. Plenty of games before this one this year, sure, but not this one.
