Some Cowboy fans often wonder why they have so many haters. Currently, the KPRC Facebook page is serving as a wondeful example of why!

Lord have murrrrcy if these fans discover the NFL Memes page.
 
:facepalm:

the only issue with me is that i'm curious to know if blandino wore a cover when he and stephen jones were passing around those floozies in the back of that party bus....jones looks of questionable character.
 
Once upon a time religion and politics brought out the most hostility. I guess its time to add football to the mix.:brando:

My guess is that hardcore soccer fans are pretty bad, especially the ones who throw bananas at the darker skinned players.
 
Cowboy fans are a friggin joke. If the shoe was on the other foot, I KNOW the crying from cowboy nation would flood the country so much, we might have to start gathering animals by the twos...

Sub in any team in the league and you'd get similar fan response.
 
So, is this another chapter in the weird one-sided rivalry between Dallas and Houston? I will never understand Houston's undeserved inferiority complex to Dallas.

It goes back to the '70's and gets handed down generation to generation.

I was taught to hate as a kid, but realized (through these boards) that it was unfounded hate based on envy. Sorry, my fellow Houston fans, I'm just calling it like I see it. There is no true rivalry between the teams and no other reason to hate on the Cowboys that is not based on envy/resentment. (This is different than hating on bandwagon fans. That's a completely different subject...)

Funny thing is that even at the height of my own Cowboys hatred, I still liked many of the individual players, going back to Roger Staubach.

And even back in the '70's, I would secretly root for the Cowboys to beat the Steelers in those Super Bowls. We truly had a reason to despise the Steelers, all things considered.

Funny thing is that my 5 yo girl does not like football, but she likes the Cowboys (due to logo and colors, of course). I just don't have it in me anymore to tell her to hate them, especially if it is the seed that allows her to sit on my lap and watch playoff games. :D

Now, the Colts on the other hand, I really hate the Colts.
 
My biggest issue with Cowboy fans is they tend to totally disappear when they are not having a good season. I have been here now 3 years and one thing I liked about this place was there were no Cowboys fans. I rarely ever saw anything about the Cowboys on cars or people walking around. Here it's mainly Steelers, Patriots, Giants and the local teams.

However midway through this season all of a sudden Cowboy fans are coming out of the woodwork. Now those star logos are miraculously appearing on vehicles around here. I assume they use those plastic clings and not real decals so they can remove them and put them back on. Where were they the last 2 seasons?

My nephew is the same way. When the Cowboys are losing he doesn't even talk about football. I would ask him if he watched the game and he would reply with answers like "No, I was out shopping", etc. He would even decline to get together for NFL Sunday with the Ticket where I was willing to put the Dallas game on one of the TVs.

Now that they are having a good season, that's all he is posting about on Facebook.

If Cowboys fans would own up to being Cowboys fans and take the jabbing when they suck that would be one thing, however most don't. They go into hibernation.

As do I. I also know 1. Holding and 2. Pass interference when I see them. What amazed me was when Tony Dungee said EXACTLY what I was thinking about Dezdamona Bryant running ACROSS the field with his helmet off barking like a dog at the refs. Last time I checked removing your helmet while on the the field was a 15 yard penalty. I'm not saying the Cowgirls wouldn't have gone on to win that game OR that Detroit would have scored, but if you're a real Cowboy fan or one of the Star-Bellied Sneeches who only loves them when they win don't delude yourself into thinking that this victory isn't as tainted as: The "Music City Miracle" or the now infamous "Thomasina Brady Forward Pass." An officiating crew gave Detroit an ENORMOUS banana up the tail pipe and you were the beneficiaries.

It is if...

Section 3
Unsportsmanlike Conduct
Article 1: Prohibited Acts
(h) Removal of his helmet by a player in the field of play or the end zone
during a celebration or demonstration, or during a confrontation with a game official or any other player.

But he already had his helmet off.

point taken, but he's an offensive player and shouldn't have been on the field at the time. He ran ACROSS the field to confront the officials about this call. Had a coach done the same thing they would have been penalized.
 
I lost count of how many people that were Cowboys fans suddenly became Oilers fans when the Texans began to exist. Many Texans fans then became Saints fans, then back to Texans, then back to Cowboys.

Been a Cowboy fan my whole life, and a Texans fan since they existed. Never cared about the Oilers. I don't see how being a fan of the Cowboys and Texans is mutually exclusive.

That might be true with some, however my hatred started real young when I was in Elementary School in the Houston area where the Cowboys fan kids would always make fun of us Oilers fan kids. The constant bragging, dissing the Oilers, "Earl Campbell is nothing compared to Tony Dorsett", excuses when they lost, especially after that 1979 Thanksgiving game when Earl and the Oilers beat their a** in Dallas, the list could go on.

The funny thing is some are now even worse as adults, I know that because I got reacquainted with some thanks to Facebook and people wanting to friend old grade school classmates. :)

That said, I found the Cowboys fans in Dallas to be different in the short time I lived there. I respect those fans.

With both I will agree. Undeserved by itself sounds like someone else pinned it on.

Can you honestly say if the histories of the two teams were reversed things wouldn't have been reversed with the kids too? That's what kids do.

What's unusual to Houston is y'all had that many Cowboy fans around to even notice, which also is a product of a 2 decade playoff run.

There exist a group of diehard Cowboy fans who've been fans their entire lives. They love them win or lose and can be magnanimous in victory. Most of us who've issues with Cowboy fans have NO ISSUE with REAL fans. OUR issue is with the Type-A sunshine fan who walks around with a Jersey on AFTER a win but is more quiet than a sleepy Helen Keller in a Library after a loss. The fans who after the Cowboys Texans game a couple of years ago when invited to the Blue Crew Tailgate couldn't shut their holes long enough to have a drink with us but opted to continue talking smack about how badly the Texans got beaten and how much greater the Cowboys were. The SAME fans who were starting fight after fight and are NOW responsible for the "tailgate ticket" rule.

I can not speak for anyone else here, but my utter rancor for the Cowboys comes from Jerry Jones and people like the aforementioned who seem to outnumber the rest of you fans exponentially.

I can relate to your experiences. What drove my hatred for the Cowboys for years was their obnoxious and obvious bandwagon fans.

Not the ones in DFW, since that is their team, but all the other ones who seem to disappear when their team sucks, acting like little roaches when the lights come on.

I do not care for the fairweather bandwagon fans, be it Longhorns, Cowboys, Yankees, Patriots, etc. And these are fans that own the gear, but only wear it when their teams are winning. (Not to be confused with the the casual fan who roots for a team to live vicariously through in the playoffs when their own team is done for the season.).

My experience as a kid was mixed, as I had relatives and buddies who were Cowboys fans, but they also rooted for the Oilers. They possessed a duality that I could never comprehend. I guess I'm monogamous in my fanatic devotion to a sports team. I'm a one-team kinda' guy.

All that said, though, for entertainment value, I think it is good when the Cowboys are experiencing success. It makes for good banter and it is good for the league to have teams that are both loved and hated to be winning. Nobody cares if the Browns are winning but Cleveland fans. But that's not the case with a team like the Cowboys.

What's funny is that history could have been so different. The Houston Cowboys could have existed as an expansion team if not for one Bud Adams and his political shenanigans to keep the NFL out of Houston.

I would say those outside of the DFW area. They are pretty bad in the northeast also. Though I can't say the ones I know in Austin are that bad.

Eeh, in my experience they are no worse than Pittsburgh or San Francisco fans. Winning teams get nationwide fans some of whom are all sorts of proud of "their" winning tradition.

Inside Texas if you were going to choose a team in 1976 to root for, if you weren't from Houston it kind of made sense to pick the Cowboys.

I loved the Cowboys as a kid. I liked the Oilers too, but they never got the media attention that "America's Team" got. My favorite players were Cowboys. Dandy Don, Walt Garrison, Renfro and Harris... Staubach was Captain America and Superman with a bit of Batman thrown in.

I stopped being a fan when Jerrah bought the team and almost one of his first acts was firing the living football god.

Boston sports fans in general after the last decade or so are quickly rising to the top of that dubious list. Every sports team they have has won championships, often multiple ones, and that just makes their fans some of the more proactive obnoxious. Fortunately, we live far away, so the worst we get is the Cowboys fans whenever their team is better than mediocre.

That said, I still like the Patriots as my vicarious living team. Tom Brady living life as you'd assume elite QBs would/should live, and Belichick for his Jedi mind trick ways and being so damn consistent in an era when dynasties were no longer supposed to be able to even exist.

I'm not buying their gear, though. I only wear Texans.

Agreed, but as you mentioned earlier, it's the bandwagon jumpers that come out of the woodwork is the most obnoxious. Like thediehard pats fan that never watched or rooted for the Pats when they were cellar dwellars

This was exactly my experience. My problem with the Cowboys is a problem with the bandwagon Houston fans. My childhood days were during the Warren Moon and the Comeback of 1992. While most of my friends bailed on the Oilers and rooted for the Super Bowl winning Cowboys, I held firm. It just seems spineless to me. The success of winning will never feel as good if you don't hold firm during the pain of losing. Sadly as Houston fans, we've dealt with a lot more of the latter than the former. But when we finally do win it all, and WE WILL, it will feel all the sweeter.

Screw Houstonian Cowpatty fans!

:tiphat: True ma'am. You were, I can say Romo's had his BEST year but in all fairness, their schedule was relatively weak.
 
Just to add:

Jerry Jones the owner is awesome
Jerry Jones the GM is freakin' garbage.

Plenty of Houston Cowboys fans are terrible, as others have said. Many are only band-wagoners. Houston sports has always had a problem with the proverbial wishy-washy fans

Kind of like the UH fans that magically appeared when Sumlin was here, then went back into the ether when he bailed and the Coogs tanked.

Good point, add to the list Steelers fans, SF Giants fans, and Seattle fans in general, among others. But until those fans slap Patty Biggio in the face at a game, just to mention one incident, the White Sox fans, Cubs fans, and Chicago fans in general take the cake.
 
I'll probably make a few enemies here, but the worst fans I have encountered are University of Texas fans.
