Why are the cowboys considered "Americas team"?

Question

Why would the cowboys be Americas team and not the patriots. I just think the patriots make more sense then the cowboys.

Answer 1

They aren't. Its just some unofficial title they threw onto an old Cowboys NFL Films title and the name stuck.

The Cowboys can kiss my *** as far as i'm concerned

Answer 2

Because were the cowboys duh!! I'm a very big cowboys fan and I actually have no idea how that got started!

Answer 3

Cuz they are, if you hate the Cowboys you hate America. It's just that simple.

Answer 4

Only the cowboys say that.

Answer 5

The Green Bay Packers are the REAL America's Team. Enough said.

Answer 6

Some idiot film editor nicked named em that a long time ago...Sorry but Cheaters aren't Americas team as much as i hate the Cowboys i'd rather listen to them be Americas team than the cheaters...Personally i think the Steelers should be Americas team because their always a good team,also have a large fan base,and also have 5 Super Bowls and i'm not a Steelers fan.

Answer 7

I dunno...what's funny is that mostly Mexicans are fans...Lol, maybe they should be renamed "Mexico's Team"

Answer 8

The only "Americas team" there are is during the Olympics.  That team of felons in Irving TX is by far not "Americas team"  nor are the team of no class ***holes from New England.

Answer 9

The NFL Films 1978 Dallas Cowboy highlight film was titled "America's Team".  It was a title made up by a producer at NFL films because he noticed there were always a lot of Cowboy fans in the stands no matter what city Dallas was playing in.  They liked the nickname and started promoting themselves as such.  The nickname has stuck over the years.  Simple as that.  It was the title of an NFL Films season highlights film.

This question only gets asked about 83 times every football season.  Here, let me take care of your next one .... The green dot signifies that the player has a headset in his helmet.

There.

Answer 10

Because Dallas Cowboys Merchandise & apparel consumes 75 % of the Market, Cowboys Fans Are Every Where around The world, we know no boundaries, and it was started by an announcer back in the 70's. Although Tom Landry didn't like it because he liked being the underdog and beating teams even when people thought there was no hope at all. IT's something that stuck ever since.  

Answer 11

The Cowboys are America's team first off because America is about football #1 sport and the cowboys account for the widest fan base in america for football. Now on top of that they have 5 superbowl victories tied with 49ers and steelers for the most and there in Texas the football state. They have to most star power and the most outspoken owner in the NFL. The packers who probally come in second dont have the fan base they play in a town of 100000 people and frankely before favre really had a boring team and it was in that time that the cowboys got the nickname, name a team that hasnt had a long drought of making the playoffs or winning a playoff game.

Answer 12

It was the title of a highlight video.  When people saw it they started calling the cowboys that and the name stuck as a nickname.  Kind of like   "the greatest show on turf "   was the 99-00 St. Louis Rams.   Its just a nickname thou, they arn't accually america's team.

Answer 13

Because their marketing team thought it would help sell jerseys.

Answer 14

That's a good question they are talented and all but haven't won a playoff game in over 12 years so they are chokers
