You know him. He wears Jesus sandals, drinks Hennessy, still smokes menthol Kools, and has been saying “How ’bout them Cowboys?” since Jerry Jones had hair. The Cowboys aren’t just his favorite football team. They are part of his identity. And he is not alone.
The Undefeated noted that the Cowboys’ iconic brand was “largely bolstered by their Black fans,” particularly through stars like Bob Hayes, Tony Dorsett and Emmitt Smith. But we need to have a family meeting. Because, Black folks, it is past time ya’ll break up with the Cowboys.

Those were the days of Roger Staubach Naval academy graduate and Vietnam vet. I had already enlisted when he came back to QB them to that title.
<< [Jerry Jones] has made his own political allegiances pretty damn clear – and they are not aligned with us. >>
Who’s “us”? Democrat plantationists? Appears the author is unaware that the vast majority of NFL (and NBA, MLB, NHL) controlling owners reside somewhere on the right side of the political spectrumand donate predominantly to Republican candidates and causes
It’s past time for White people wake the hell up and break up with the NFL in general.
One of the worst things that ever happened to my city was when the nfl came here.
Remarkably dumb article - it’s time for black people to dump the Cowboys because Jones supports Trump, and then the author presumes to speak for Martin Luther King Jr, Harriet Tubman and a host of other people whom he never knew.
Lawrence Ware is a repressed black gay man
My memory isn’t as good as it used to be, but I still remember that pic. If I remember right, he also had a big smile in the pic. It made the news at the time, and it disgusted me.
A great move to publicly highlight Dallas as “America’s Team”!
Oh, wait...
It was an “in your face” display of disrespect for our country!
I dislike it, but...in the end, it was a good thing for me. Every Sunday during football season was a...”thing”. It isn’t anymore.
I can live with that.
What is the image? I can’t see it.
Also, it was a public “slap in the face” to President Trump and the President’s criticism of NFL kneeling at the time.
How about that? The “root” telling black folks what they should do and who they should be for in freaking FOOTBALL. If you all aren’t offended, I’ll be offended for you. Good grief when will it all stop with all the hate?
really take exception to this idiot using Bullet Bob Hayes to bolster his stupid argument. As a kid, Bob Hayes was my hero both for track and football and I credit him for making me colorblind.
That said I can’t watch because the NFL insists that I’m a racist, foists tranny cheerleaders on me, wants to replace Americans with international fans and I can’t be sure the whole thing isn’t rigged because the officiating is at an all-time low.
But the main reason is they now expect me to shell out serious money to watch this farce.
**I just cannot support the league with my attention or my money.**
Rush was enamored with Apple products. Their politics didn’t stop him.
**There is something to it. Remember ‘America’s team?
Those were the days of Roger Staubach Naval academy graduate and Vietnam vet.**
There is that thin line between patriotism and fascism. Herd the one about patriotism being the last bastion of the scoundrel? The Cowboys anointed themselves to that level. Resentment towards winners is built in. Rubbing it in goes both ways. Our country should not gloat too much to the rest of the world. Trump’s done it because it’s necessary and we’ve been played for chumps for too long. The Cowboys are finding about t the hard way.
Gotta admit they were fun to watch in the 90’s. A well oiled machine with Smith, Aikman and Irvin. Don’t forget that mammouth line of Newton, Allen, Tuinei, Williams, Stepnowski. Tuinei died of an overdose, Newton trafficked drugs. Saw Irvin in Australia acting like a coon.
Don’t forget the political comments in the end zone, sidelines and the on the backs of many players helmets. The NFL still refuses to stop it.
**I dislike it, but...in the end, it was a good thing for me. Every Sunday during football season was a...”thing”. It isn’t anymore. I can live with that.**
I’ll go back to Rush being enamored with Apple products. The salary cap goes up every year while they lay they lay their woke BS on us. Popularity and repulsive ideas will both go up. 3 games today. I got my slow cooker plugged in at 8am. Lunch and dinner are accounted for-tomorrow’s lunch too. Enjoy the season my friends.
The only option is for all black folk to move to Africa and free themselves from the scourge of whitey oppression.
I forgot to add in our brand new Black National Anthem!
