The fact that he’s kept the Cowboys as the #1 brand in maybe all of sports despite them being a train wreck for over 20 years is amazing.
He bought the team where the ownership was losing $1M per month. They are worth over $4B today.
He secured Fox as the primary channel for the NFC. And they regularly show the Cowboys as the featured game.
Increased television revenues have played a decisive role in securing the NFL's place as the world's richest sports league, with revenues of well over $10 billion per season.

First three items seem to be things he's done for the Cowboys specifically, not the sport as a whole.
Last item seems to be arguing that he helped the league grow, but I'm not entirely sure that growth is always a good thing for the sport. For instance, Thursday night games have grown the league and increased revenue, but certainly hasn't been good for the sport played on the field.
