Is my wife a "true" Cowboys fan?

Question

My wife is a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. She watches all of the games and roots hard for them. She'll jump up and down when they make a big play and truly does want them to win each week. But when asked how many players on the team that she can name, she'll only come up with the 4-5 big stars...Romo, Owens, Roy Williams, etc.

So is she a "true" Cowboys fan or more of a casual fan in your opinion?

Answer 1

She's a woman, it really doesn't matter she likes them probably because the rest of the world does

Women have their reasons, my mom states her favorite team is the Cowboys but she never ever watches football and leaves the room when I watch it so just like I said, women have their reasons, it might not make sense but oh well

Answer 2

She is a true fan but I'm not sure why she doesn't know more of the players names.  She watches all the time?  I've been watching them and rooting for them for 30 years...  And I can give you info from back then up till now...

Let her have her fun...they are an exciting team to watch!!

Get your popcorn ready!

Answer 3

i'd say casual fan...haha

Answer 4

nope ! just a dope !

Answer 5

It would appear so. I feel for you.

Answer 6

It sounds like she is a true fan...oh well everyone has their faults.

Answer 7

I'm with Andrew F.  One can only hope that your wife sees the error of her ways.....

Answer 8

**** the cowboys. GO EAGLES

Answer 9

It doesn't really matter what kind of fan she is or how many players she knows.  If that's who she likes, then there's nothing wrong with her cheering for them.  For some of the people above.  Just goes to show what a typical Eagles fan is.

Answer 10

FYI.. A Hater is only Gonna Say "No, She isn't!", a Fan is Only Gonna Say "Yes, She is!", and those that don't care either way would problably say something like the Following:

"Can you name the whole roster of yout favorite Team with out looking it up? A 53 Man Roster is alot to remeber, Don't be so judgemental."

I've been a Cowboys Fan for 30 Years, and I still Can only remeber about Half, sure it's more than 5, but atleast she seems dedicated to a team, and it's THE BEST team a Person Could be dedicated to, AMERICA's TEAM, GOD's TEAM, THE DALLAS COWBOYS.

Answer 11

Try this: in the middle of a game hand her a credit card and tell her there's a shoe sale going on at the mall but it ends in 2 hours.

If she takes the credit card and leaves, then she's not a real fan. If she stays to watch the end of the game, then congratulate yourself on finding a good woman.  

Answer 12

Your wife is a probably a fair weather fan.  That's why she only knows the big names from the team actually being a "true" fan would mean that she would know more than just Tony Homo and Owens and Roy williams she would know Jason Witten , Denmarcus Ware and Flozell Adams  .  Hopefully for your sake she will get over it.  

And in response to the statement below:

"She's a woman, it really doesn't matter she likes them probably because the rest of the world does

Women have their reasons, my mom states her favorite team is the Cowboys but she never ever watches football and leaves the room when I watch it so just like I said, women have their reasons, it might not make sense but oh well"

I agree that some women get sucked in to cheering for certain teams because that's the team to love for the season.  However, I am a woman and I have been a football fan since I was a little girl.  I started going to Bucs games when I was 9 and was a Bucs fan up until a few years ago.  Actually I stopped liking them once John Gruden disassembled the Super Bowl team that Tony Dungy put together and beat the Oakland Raider team that he put together ....but I digress....what I am trying to say is that just because your a girl you seem to think that we as females just arbitrarily choose a team to support because of our boyfriends or because of ESPN.  Well my dear my real team is the Chicago Bears and yeah I'm sad cause they sort of suck but I am a fan and have been since the Bears Shuffling crew days. And guess what I chose them because I liked the team itself all the way from the years of Vince Evans, Walter Payton, Jim McMahon, Richard Dent, Gary Fencik, Steve McMichael, Kevin Buford,  Jim Thorton, Pete Mangum, through Brian Urlacher and Hunter Hillenmeyer.....it had nothing to do with whether they were popular or not. The question is why does a man choose the team he chooses is it because of one single player on a team?  You tell me or is just that men have their reasons.  

Answer 13

yea  atrue fan... mayb not a brillaint smart fan.. but a true fan.....

btw **** the cowboys they ******* suck

GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!

Answer 14

Most women are either Cowboys, Pats, or Steelers fans.

90% of these dont even understand the game or know any of the players except for a select few.  Its just a popularity thing.

Answer 15

my mother jumps up and down for the lions but she doesnt even know how many players are on the field at a time.

Answer 16

Yes.. you would be suprised how many people cant name many players on their favorite teams.

Answer 17

seems more casual if ur a true fan for any team than u should be able to name pretty much every player on the team

Answer 18

a true fan will make an effort to watch them pay and root for them no matter what

a casual fan will not watch them or really care about them they will just tell you what team they like but they dont know much about them
