Who Died and Made The Cowboys America's Team?

I am sick and tired of the "america's team" moniker bestowed upon the Dallas Cowboys. Who else is with me? Two popular reasons for this so called crown is due to 1.) NFL Films in 1978, engineered by editor Bob Ryan at the time had to come up with a title for the teams season ending compilation video. Since the Cowboys were the dominant team shown on TV and Roger Staubach, Ed "Too Tall" Jones, and Harvey Marting where houshold names, it stuck. 2.) From a poll conducted in 1988 asking fans to name their favorite team. What a bunch of dookie.

America's Team should be the epitome of America, hard working, patriotic, blue collar, hot dogs (brats), apple pie and Pabst.......hence the Green Bay Packers. The Packers go way back to 1919 vs the Cowboys 1960. The Packers have 12 championship/super bowl appearances(winning them all) to the Cowboys 8 appearances and losing 3x's. The Packers are owned by the citizens of Green Bay (stockholder ownership). Cowboys are a soleproprietorship (Jerry Jones). The largest employers in Green Bay are papermills and foundrys..........that is blue collar, 8-5 baby! America was built on these folks. Dallas is a mishmash or melting pot of whatever you can think of.

Take a look at this..........The Packers are tied for most members in the Pro Football Hall of Fame with twenty-six.
