Dallas Cowboys The Worst of America - You Should Hate Them

There are so many good reasons to hate the Dallas Cowboys, especially since Jerry Jones proclaimed his own team "America's team." I can say one thing, the Dallas Cowboys do stand for all the worst of America, as if Jerry Jones slapping five with fugitive war criminal George W. Bush isn't clear enough, I have plenty of other reasons for you to hate them. 1. Redistribution of Wealth from Middle Class to Jerry Jones The Cowboy's new stadium cost $1.3 Billion, $300 million of which came directly from cash starved local Government. so Mega-Billionaire Jerry Jones got direct payment from middle class and poor tax payers who are already struggling in this economic client. What did they get for that price tag? Well a pretty stadium to look at and some of their neighbors forced out of their homes. The rest of the money for the stadium came from the bond market so your pension funds probably paid for it. This right around 2 cities struggling with poverty and in need of funding for services. 2. He Pushed out Hurricane Rita Victims To Build It As if that were not bad enough, he pushed out Hurricane Rita victims struggling to rebuild to get the land for his stadium. Eyes on Texas covered this for the community: ...destroying 104 homes of an estimated 312 residents, forcing the evacuation of an estimated 871 residents from several destroyed apartment complexes, obliterating 32 businesses, everything from restaurants to tire stores to banks to motels. ...America's Team, that being the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. Yes, a sports palace, a private for profit business is being built on a graveyard of personal destruction... He took these American citizen's land for his stadium because he didn't get enough money from Irving, TX the site of the old stadium, where they wanted him to rebuild the new stadium. In perfect Jerry Jones over compensations style he built a sprawling complex that took hundreds of residents' homes to do it. Even the local paper covered it, of course not in the print edition, no reason to piss off the new local billionaire. You can see some of the pictures of homes destroyed the second time around after Jerry Jones court mandated bulldozers knocked them down. Some people didn't want to leave so the city used Eminent Domain to take these people's perfectly nice homes. Eminent Domain which is supposed to use sparingly on blighted areas for economic development or taking property for the common good, not for private ownership at an additional cost to those same citizens who lost their homes at a price of $300 million. 3. $50,000 tickets It costs $50,000 to get tickets for the whole year. This is in regular lower level not some box seats. Not to mention the $60 to park a mile a way. I guess the America of America's team is only the super rich one. The rest of us Americans don't count. 4. Cage Dancers I am not sure what more I have to say about America's Team except that Jerry Jones has "The new Cowboys stadium actually features 'cage dancers'" A football team has cage dancers in their stadium. 5. America's First Post-Feminist Institutionalized Male Supremacy "When the 1972-73 NFL season kicked off that fall, it was a major turning point in Cheerleader history" while the rest of the country was learning to embrace the radical idea that women are equal, Jerry Jones set out to put women in their place; as the eye candy for a poorly endowed elderly Scrooge. Women it turns out are only for ornamental and in his case to work for him must have fake ornaments. The Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders are literally bad for women in America, add that to the poor, the victims of hurricanes, and the working and middle class and you get a picture of why the Dallas Cowboys literally represent the worse of America.
