Dallas fans who have lived in the Philly area your whole lives

WTF is wrong with you people?  Little girls like stars and uniforms.  Not real football fans.

I thought the last of those were terminated with any remaing green T.Owens jerseys! There still around, that's a shame...

Note: little girls also like Brittney Spears and American Idol.

I always ask local Cowboy fans (who never lived in or near Dallas) the same question.

"During the Cold War, did you root for the Soviet Union."

Anyone who cheers for something anti their community is a coward.

I think their Dad's beat them when the Eagles lost so they subconsciously started rooting for the Cowgirls. Little pussies could't take a beating.

When I grew up (in NY) we had choices in every sport.

Giants or Jets (Giants)
Mets or Yankees (Mets)
Knicks or Nets (Knicks)
Rangers or Islanders (Rangers)

You rooted for the home team. Period. End of story. You man it up during the bad times and enjoy it during the good times. I never thought I'd find myself agreeing with Eagles fans but it had to happen eventually.

You know who sounds like whiney losers? All you who care where fans are from.

Where I grew up in NJ there were few Igles fans. There were Dolphin and CBs fans, there were Steelers and Vikings fans there were even Patriots fans. None of the kids liked the Igles.

If the Igles did a poor job of winning and community reach out during that time its hardly of the fault of the NJ residents that didnt adopt them. Unless you are from Philly there is no attraction to such a rag tag boring, losing team.

Why is that so hard to understand? Oh yeah, the company. Miserly wants more company!

Good luck Sunday boys.

Community outreach? They're a football team, not a public service.

I work with two Cowgirls fans who both grew up in Philly. Neither one have ever set foot in Texas, yet I always find it funny when they negatively refer to "Philly fans", as if they're somehow separate.

Almost every kid outside Texas who grew up a Cowboys fan is a front-running schmuck with self-esteem issues. You don't see this happening with other teams (save maybe the Raiders), but the out-of-state Cowboy fans latched on because they wanted to root for a winner. I live in Redskinland, and they deal with the same thing with Dallas fans down here. It's particularly hilarious when they claim they were still die-hard supporters during down years -- these people are the biggest front-runners imaginable, so they're really sensitive when you call them on it.

In the end, these kids grow up and try to figure out some fake justification as to why they became a Dallas fan, including "They were always on TV", "I liked the star on the helmet", "I had an uncle from Texas", etc. Inevitably, they deny that the decision ahd anything to do with needing to root for a winner.

They used to say rooting for the New York Yankees was like rooting for U.S. Steel. Rooting for the Cowboys is like rooting for the Roman Empire.
