Are you a mashochist in other areas of your waking life or does your masochism just apply to football?
Look at my screen name.
While I don't hate the Cowboys players and still love them until 1996, I can't stand what that owner has done to
RUIN that team. I've been patient for 17 years for "Al Davis II" to single-handedly prove Jimmy Johnson wrong and it's a bad joke - don't let their good showing this year fool you...Cowboys should have had more seasons like this one with a competent GM.
At some point you have to say enough is enough.
To people like the brave Jets fan on this thread - it's noble to pull for a team during hard times. But if it's run by a bunch of clowns, is it worth it? For me, I have decided to admire the Cowboys of the past, but follow the Patriots now as they are a lot more like the team I loved than the ones with the star on their helmet.
If you do decide a team is terminally run by clowns, leaving them is the best thing to do - the capitalist thing to do. Bad businesses lose support and either make corrections or fold - sports franchises should be treated just like that. If there are poorly run teams at Cleveland, Oakland, DC, Dallas, etc, etc, don't keep coming and treat their owners like crack suppliers - hurt them at the bank until something happens. If they are stupid enough to hang on to their team and continue to ruin it, so be it.
