Opinion: Black Folks, It’s Time to Dump the Dallas Cowboys
The Root ^ | September 13, 2026 | Lawrence Ware

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.

Everybody should dump the Cowboys. Jones is a terrible owner, a worse GM, and the team is stuck on suck until further notice.

Keep in mind that the word “cowboy” includes the HIGHLY RACIST term “boy”, which dates back to what slave owners called their male slaves.

Therefore the Dallas Cowboys are a RACIST TEAM, by definition and it’s time that their players of color started taking knees.

(well, what the hell, if you look hard enough, you’ll always find racism)

>And they aren’t aware up to 30% of cowboys in the old west were black guys.

Then there were the Buffalo Soldiers.

Saw Irvin in Australia acting like a coon.


He was subdued compared to when he is at a Canes game.

I don’t put much stock in anyone who capitalized the word “black” to describe skin color. Yet most of these people would not capitalize the word “Bible”.

“Isn’t a little racist to tell black people which teams they’re allowed to root for?”

i was thinking exactly the same thing, only without the question mark ...

Yep, what isn’t racist these days? According to Buttigieg, even our roads and bridges are racist.

Times change....and then they change again.

2026-27 is 2 teams:
LAS VEGAS RAIDERS: Devout Catholic and Devout Evangelical come to SIN CITY.

CHICAGO BEARS: Wait til next year has come. This is the year.

Although I am not a Cowboy fan, that is an absurd contention. I have never heard a black acquaintance mention the Cowboys and some whites I know are ridiculous fanatics.

Enjoy, and I mean it-I do not in any way begrudge those who seek entertainment in sports. I envy it, to a degree. I just can't get past it.

Heh, today, I am 3D printing a part to fix a magnifier/light that was relatively cheap, and with that comes the irritating propensity to wiggle and shake instead of being snug and firm. Cheap Chinese crap (but like the guy says in Ferris Bueller's day off: "At least they have a piece of crap"...there was no American product to buy at my price range) with this soft, plastic insert:

And I am printing this:

Then, I will work on a 1/32 scale F-14 Tomcat model I have been working on for nearly 45 years...where it sat for decades without me finishing it. It was on my to-do list when I retired and had the time! Here it where I am with it right now:

Good luck to your team, whoever you are watching!

I like him as well.
But I like the conservative, clean cut black guys that are country singers .
They shatter the myth that somehow the wicked rap music is the only thing blacks can do.
The race hustling poverty pimps (Rushs phrase), want to keep blacks in the rap ghetto/plantation.

This is the greatest nation on earth, we can all share certain things

The damn superbowl halftime show being Spanish porn killed it permanently for us.
We know the games are rigged after they had refs to ensure the Chiefs got into the superbowl.
I just don’t care anymore.
I was a football fan when the NFL was in its glory days, Landry and Staubach were my heroes growing up.
The egotistical thugs today have none of their commitment or respect.
They may be faster and stronger today, but they are dumber than a rock.
The old teams would bust their butts.

I love Charley Pride.
Now I have to go back and listen to his music, Glen Campbell too.

Yes, it was also terrible how Jones treated Tom Landry. Landry did have a bad last year, but he was still a first class act and a real gentleman. He fired Landry one day after purchasing the team.

From Grok,,,,,,

The treatment extended past the firing itself. According to a biography of Landry and reports from his widow, Alicia, the Cowboys organization later revoked the Landry family's luxury suite at Texas Stadium and prevented Landry's son from purchasing season tickets. These actions alienated the Landry family to the point that Tom Landry reportedly spent his final years rooting for his former team, the New York Giants, rather than the Cowboys.
