Why Are The Dallas Cowboys So Popular?
September 3rd, 2009
Author: Jonathan Wexler
I'm always amazed at the popularity of the Dallas Cowboys and their players. I book sports celebrities across the country and no team except maybe baseball’s New York Yankees even come close to matching the popularity of the Cowboys.
The Cowboys popularity isn't just confined to Texas. It's true they are the most popular team in every corner of the state, but their popularity extends across the country. They earned the nickname "America’s Team" for good reason. Ask football fans in Richmond, VA who their favorite team is and they’re just as likely to say the Cowboys as the Commanders.
I book more former Cowboys for events than any other football team. Want to drive traffic and create excitement around your event? You can't go wrong with a Cowboys player.
No NFL team receives the same amount of attention as the Cowboys. The media loves controversy and sensationalism and the Cowboys are full of both. Last year, ESPN jumped on the bandwagon by assigning one its reporters to cover the Cowboys full-time. With Terrell Owens running his mouth off, Tony Romo dating Jessica Simpson and Jerry Jones still prowling the sidelines, the team was must-see tv.
This season may be a bit more boring with T.O. gone and Jessica Simpson out of the picture, but there’s no doubt the team will continue to be popular and make front-page headlines.
