Cowboys losing fans because of Jerry Jones?

There is a guy at work who was a Cowboys fan and used to talk trash all the time.  Today, I saw him wearing a Cam Newton jersey.  Shocked, I asked him if he's finally seen the light and he responded affirmatively that he will support the Panthers now.  But the interesting part is that the genesis of his conversion was Jerry Jones comments where he threatened his players if they protested during the anthem.

That's what I thought too, but this Cowboys fan who is African American really took it personally.  It's very strange.  I don't think I would ever not be a fan of the Panthers because of what the owner does.

I would think that over the years he has turned people off enough that they no longer pull for the team.  He is so arrogant, loud, and attention seeking it would be difficult to want to see his team be successful, IMO.  I hope Goodell gets a new contract just because JJ opposes it....lol..  That guys (Jones) really turns me off.

Difference is, Cowboys fans were either fans of the team before Jerry was owner, or their parents were and they were brought up Cowboys fans. We only know Jerry Richardson as the owner/founder of the Panthers. He is the Panthers, good or bad.

People are fans of the Cowboys in spite of Jerry Jones not because of him. The loyalties are with the team, not the owner. We can apply logic around fandom that would apply to teams like the Panthers, Falcons, Jaguars, Texans, etc... That logic does not apply the same way to teams such as the Cowboys, Packers, Patriots, etc...

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By shaq · Posted

      Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.

      Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.

      I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
