Yay! Let's pile on the Cowboys and their fans, YAY!
:eyes:

I'm not even a Cowboys fan, but holy shit, the hatred for them and the pleasure taken at their demise is ridiculous.

1. Or Patriots fans/the Patriots organization.
:shrug:

I don't mind joshing around. People can hate on whatever teams they want, and I doubt this will have very long-lasting effects on whatever remaining sanity the Lounge possesses. :D

New England sports fans can still repent
You've been arrogant only for a year or so. There's still time to renounce your disfavorable ways. :D



Fans of the "America's Team" and the Jankees, though — their arrogance is steeped in history. They shall surely burn in hell, and there will be much rejoicing.

17. "America's Team"--wtf even IS that?
I don't get how that started. Since when has a Dallas team been "America's Team"??

23. NFL Films started it, NOT the Cowboys.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America%27s_Team

Bob Ryan, the Vice President and editor-in-chief of NFL Films, coined this for the Cowboys in 1979. After preparing and editing the team’s 1978 season highlight film he had to come up with a title for the film.<4> He was quoted as saying:

"I wanted to come up with a different twist on their team highlight film. I noticed then, and had noticed earlier, that wherever the Cowboys played, you saw people in the stands with Cowboys jerseys and hats and pennants. Plus, they were always the national game on television."

42. Or not
From your own link:


# Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney dismissed the suggestion that the Steelers were America's Team. 'We didn't want that,' Rooney said. 'We're Pittsburgh's team. We feel strongly about that'



As for the Dodgers — well, that's kind of a straw man, isn't it?

45. It may be a straw man, but I think most teams would have capitalized on that.
Obviously there are teams that wouldn't as you point out, but my opinion is that most teams would covet that label.

That struck other fans as highly arrogant, and arrogance breeds hatred.

I really, REALLY can't stand the Steelers for all the pain they caused my former team, the Oilers, over the years. But I didn't dance when they lost. I certainly wouldn't rub their noses in it. I guess I'm not wired that way.

Edit - don't evenget me started on the Lakers...

The thrilling 1988 NBA Finals against the Pistons, the 2 wins over the Celtics in 85, 87...The 3 championships in the Shaq era

Are you a Celtics, Sacramento Kings, or Portland Trailblazers fan?. - LOL

47. Lakers/Spurs have played many times in playoffs
I think they've played 5 times in playoffs in last 8-9 years...

At least your team has the better management to have kept its core players together..They'll probably win 1-2 more titles before Duncan retires...

I'll never understand why Buss traded away Shaq for next to nothing...LA could have stayed competitive for many more years, by building around the Shaq/Kobe nucelus...

So, my team as won four more championships than I ever thought they would. I guess it's because I remember all that losing, that I made the OP.

I HATED the Lakers in the eighties when they always beat the Spurs in the playoffs. A couple of times ending their run at the Hemifair Arena.....

I still hate the Lakers but not as much since snaqers left.

My mother is pretty upset the cowboys lost. Personally I don't care. I'm not a big football fan. To many commercials. its friggin annoying.

But I don't get active hatred of another team. I mean, I don't much care for the Yankees, and I generally am happy when they lose. But, I don't exhult in their demise.

71. I am a bona fide, died-in-the-wool Cowboys fan
and have been since I was about 10 years old. I love the Boys, but I HATE Jerry Jones.

The disappointing end to the Cowboys season is helped a little by the fact that the team I hate the most, the SF 49ers, had a horrible season.

To the OP, I understand that it gets pretty nasty, but the trash-talking is part of the deal.

I grew up as a GI brat and lived all over - without a doubt the cowboys fans are the worst; in this area are very smug - they truly think their team is special. I can't help it - I LIKE IT WHEN IT'S IN THEIR FACE.

last week when Washington lost? Its the way of this rivalry..you root for your team and whomever is playing agaisnt your rival. As for me, I'm very glad they lost, although I do admit, that I do feel a bit sorry for madinmaryland (cause he did say he was sorry bout the Skins last week). But in general, I dislike the Cowboys and always root agaisnt them.

They may. I've had fans of other teams do it to me when my teams loses. It sucks. I don't care for it.

I like when my rival team loses, but I generally commisserate with their fans, because I know next time my team might be on the short end.

39. You know what?
There was a bunch of trash about my team losing last week and while it irritated me, I understood it too.
There are good reasons to dislike Washington, and I understand it. If people want to trash my team, thats fine. Hell, Trotsky (a DU poster whom I like and respect)goes around calling em the Foreskins and admitting his dislike and was probably pretty happy they lost. Thats fine and I don't think less of him.
I'm sure most Dallas fans understand that after taunting other fans all season they are gonna get it back.
As I said, if its someone I like, I will commiserate.

The Potomac Drainage Basin Indigenous People. That because I find the term "redskin" personally offensive. But, I don't hate on 'em or anything.

I guess I'm just different than other sports fan. I like to revel in success not take pleasure at the pain of others. Maybe I'm just coming at this from a different place.

18. They just seem to invite derision
I live in Valley Ranch, and all I see around town are blue stars. I see so many stars I feel I must have been hit on the head too many times! I can't stand the holier-than-thou "how 'bout them Cowboys?" attitude. I don't hate their fans - just don't understand the superior attitude. I'm a 49er fan and don't feel superior to anyone, even though my team has won 5 Super Bowls too.

I'm just suggesting that when a team loses, that team has fans who feel genuine pain. The last thing they need is a bunch of shit about it. At least save it for a later day when the pain has subsided.

37. Dude
I have to deal with "Cowboys fans" on a regular basis, and so far, the ones I have met are total dicks... or they are rednecks.

I felt bad about feeling this way until I went to watch a game at a pub/sports bar, and the "Cowboys fans" were calling the members of the other team "fags" and "pussies"... until they started getting beat.

I was really glad that they got trounced after hearing such homophobia and bigotry - over a football game none the less! (I'm a hockey fan, so I just plain don't get it!)

44. I really don't get this concept, either.
Or the fact that people, as fans or players, feel hate or pain in this context. It's a game. Granted there's a lot of money at stake but everyone gets paid pretty damn well, win or lose. And granted, it is better to win, but the loss of a game is just that. The sun still comes up tomorrow, does it not?

48. If you are a fan, you have an emotional attachment.
Yes, the sun still comes up, but it's difficult to invest your emotions in something and have it abruptly end. It is genuine pain. Not like the loss of a loved one or anything, but for a short period there's real pain.

133. There's an attachment, but I'm not sure I'd call it "emotional"
You want to see your team win, but the possibility of losing is what makes it interesting/exciting.

I'm disappointed they lost, but I'll still watch the playoffs next weekend, and enjoy them almost as much. I mean, c'mon, SOMEBODY's gotta beat New England!

The mere presence of Jones on the Dallas sideline was enough to root against them. As a Skins fan I need no excuse though. And it's amazing how much of a crybaby Tony Romo can be when things aren't going his way.

Bunch of kids lined up from all over the U.S. to receive their trophies.

Apparently, the 13 year old girl winner did not meet the approval of the Colts fans. I think she was from the wrong state or something.

Poor kid. She DID however handle it with grace.

I ain't piling on anyone or anything. Heck I'm a Dolphins fan my piling on rights our currently revoked. I'm just watching the damn playoffs for good games and good times. The Cowboys loss . . . but they played a good game .. the Giants just had their number this time around. Same with Colts and Chargers. Asshole fans aside the Colts played a helluva game . . . the Chargers weathered it though and get the reward of facing New England next week.

123. Not only that, he was in cohoots with a Repubican in Arkansas to do it
Sheffield Nelson was the CEO of ArkLa Gas, sold Jones land in the Arkoma basin cheap, then of course he found gas :P and sold it back for millions.

Jones and Nelson ripped off the ratepayers, the shareholders, and got away with it.

Funny how they were at University of Arkansas together as well...

all this came up during the 1990 governor's race Nelson against Clinton

unfortunately, there is enough cover to hide behind that there have been no charges

and jones sits ugly with his millions

131. Well I got told FU Aggie lover...
By a Cowboys fan who is a Tech fan as well. They "Love" to remind me all the time about A&M, and I take it. But give it back to them about the Cowboys and I get threatened with bodily harm. Sad.

132. Are there even any admitted Cowboys fans here?
Cuz I'm thinking it's OK to trash-talk them. But I haven't seen any lately.

134. Being a Steelers fan I root against the Cowboys on general principle
but I have family and friends who are Cowboys fans and I definitely can't envision rubbing their nose in it anytime the team lost.

I was pulling for the Giants yesterday although I personally felt that only GB and Dallas were capable of taking on the Patriots. However, given that the Giants almost took down the Pats just a few weeks ago it's possible that N.E. vs. NY may be a good game if it goes that way.

135. Try being a Yankees fan
it's way worse than this, and I'd say there's no one nearly as obnoxious on the Yankees as TO.

Add some sausage or meatballs.
