Why do Cowgirls get the good matchups nationally televised?

[Mizak]

they have more nationally and main game matchups than the Chiefs.









the fucc is this $h1t?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Always been that way, likely always will. Shoot, even when they suck, they get a ton of prime-time games.
It's annoying af.

 

[AROS]

Didn't you guys get the memo??? They are America's Team after all!!!

 

[bigskydoc]

Eyeballs. America's Team BS or not, they draw viewers from across the country. It's a bit like WNBA fans asking why their teams don't get the same coverage as the NBA teams. It's not just because the networks are choosing what to cram down our throats.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Shoot, every game they play, ridiculous amount of cowpuke fans in the stands.

Didn’t you get the Memo, The cowboys will be the most elite team in the league until December, then they will suck

Credit Tex Schram, he marketed them as that in the beginning, happened to have Dandy Don as a QB who was outspoken and charismatic and then went on to Monday Night Football, it has not ever stopped since.

Hopefully the market value of the Confederacy's Team will continue to slide with the passing of each disappointing season.

This is a bit like hoping Connor (hasn’t won anything meaningful since 2016) McGregor will stop being the UFCs marquee draw.

This. The Cowboys have the league's largest fan base and it's nation wide vs. the Chiefs' mostly regional fans, so of course they're going to have more Prime Time games because they'll attract more viewers and will be able to squeeze more money out of the networks which make their money on advertisements, which are market driven by ratings.

And so what if they appear in Prime Time more often? So long as it doesn't affect competitiveness, why should we care? As a matter of fact, I'd rather our team play on a Sunday afternoon or morning and have a consistent practice schedule rather than have a Monday or Thursday Prime Time game and have to play on a short week.

Hey, I do my part. I think Dallas is kind of boring and feel no need to tune into their games. Not being relevant since the 90s probably contributes. I'd much rather root against a team like the Niners or Stealers.

Agreed the hate for Cowboys is real but they year after year make a mockery of themselves so it's almost too easy.

Yep. It's the same in MLB with the Yankees. Whether you love them or hate them, you'll tune in to watch the drama unfold.

I hate how the Jets, another irrelevant franchise, is also constantly being shoved down our throats (2nd only to Dallas) ever since Erin joined. It will be fun to see them implode. Hopefully this is Erin's last year with them so I don't have to hear about them anymore.

Well........... We could always hope for Belichick to return to the Patriots and get another 20 years of them. Worse yet, he goes to the Steelers after Wilson gets Tomlin fired.

 

[sutz]

Doesn't bother me much. I just don't watch.

I mostly just watch the Seahawks.

All about the money. And, it must be said, that Jerry Jones is a brilliant marketer and business man. I went to the Hawks/Cowboys game last year in Dallas and that stadium is incredible. Add to it the fact Jerry hasn't put all that great of a product on the field in the last 20+ years and yet he's still made the Cowboys into the most valuable (over 10 billion dollars worth) professional sports franchise in the world is impressive. And as much as people bag on Jerry and his team, we all know his name and what he's up to. Just the facts, love it or hate it.
