Why does Jerry lie?

[DandyDon1722]

I’m not gonna insult this fanbase. Some people are just fans. At this point the Cowboys brand is bigger than Jerry. People root in spite of him not because of him.

I think the fan based has changed dramatically. The long time 70’s and 90’s fans have backed off considerably and today there is an increasing Latin fan base. They are good fans, they scream and yell and cheer and pay money for tickets and merchandise but they could care less about legacy - to them it’s about those three hours on game days.

That’s it - probably not a bad way to be at this point.

Yeah but the latino part of the fanbase isn’t what’s putting billions in Jerry’s pocket. Some people are lying about not supporting this team. Anyone from the 70s who isn’t a Cowboy fan either died off or still here. There are disgruntled fans on this site who still support this team.

Should consider that maybe guys don't want to play here

You know what, I understand we don’t have the money under the cap to do much. Daks hit on 2027 is 76 million dollars. Every year rather than tell the truth, that they have made some bad decisions on certain contracts. Jerry spews the lie “he is all in”. So free agency happens and they do nothing to improve the team. This is always followed by Stephen coming out and saying how they are happy with their trades, and how they like their guys and the resigned a key piece we are very excited about the draft and they are adding to the roster 365 days a year. It’s coming. Just for once I want Jerry to put down the Johnny walker and say straight up. That he is to blame, he is sorry for misrepresenting the franchise and he is working to shed the over burdensome contracts. He just can’t do it.

If any company or organization has a CEO that DOESN'T lie.....they better replace him or her.

Its the nature of doing business. They should lie about objectives, layoffs, growth, closings, etc, etc.

In business it has to do with stocks, boards, shareholders and competitors.....for Jerry its mostly about networks, sponsors and season ticket holders

100% agree
As a fan base we’ve been on this hamster wheel of lies it feels like for decades at this point.

So it’s ok to misrepresent your product. Does that hold true for restaurants. Lie when the food tastes like ****. You don’t stay in business that long. Remind me to never buy any product from you. Ever

The sad truth is that Jerry and his boy just aren't very good at building a football team. They are great at making money but that talent never translated to football.

Jerry doesn't lie. He's a walking poster child for the Dunning-Kruger effect.

 

[Machete]

Because the fan base believes it.

I think Jerry is an incompetent GM of the worst kind since being the owner he hasn't fired himself in that GM role for decades. Over the years he has spontaneously changed his mind thoughtlessly to the detriment of the team and fans.

 

[DandyDon52]

Because the fanbase believes him every single time and buys in.

And what fanbase is this ?? lol
Most fans dont even pay attention to what goes on in the off season.

 

[Havic]

Because half the fanbase has a room temp IQ and buys his lies.

You are so generous with that comment lol. One fan here can’t even admit statistics provided by the league are true and it’s just more hating

Right. A few homers on a fan site buying in doesn’t define an entire fanbase.

 

[Captain-Crash]

He probably lies because he knows his fan base is low-IQ cowards.

Hyping your sports team product is a little different than a restaurant.

Sure, the food has to stay good and at a good hair to stay in business. In sports it’s more about entertainment value than quality.

I don’t think most believe. Some always hold out hope.

The same reason the spider lied to the fly, they can't help themselves!

 

[Deionindahood]

Because half the fanbase has a room temp IQ and buys his lies. Cowboys are gonna be the bestest next year. Jerry and Stephen are gonna take us all the way with their shrewd moves and big spending. If you don't believe that, you're a hater.

I look at it this way, most of the fans are into self-humiliation with a side disorder of low self-esteem. It's easier to slam your hand in a car door. At least you assured of the outcome.
