I don't wear Cowboys merchandise anymore because, well....I'm an adult, but you can bet if I had a kid who didn't have any gear he'd be getting some for Christmas, and anyone who claims they'd do otherwise on some sort of boycott stand is full of shit.

You're all gonna buy shit and you're all gonna keep watching and even if you don't it doesn't fucking matter so enough with the bravado.
Wrong. I haven't bought a single thing with the star on it in 4-5 years. And I have two kids that don't have any "gear".

I haven't bought anything or had anything bought for me for several years now. Wouldn't buy any cowboys stuff for anyone. Its really not that hard to do. Plenty of other things to spend money on.

Now get out of the thread since it bothers you so much.

Just so we're clear then...you WON'T be joining the boycott?

Uhh, I think that was his point.
I understand. My point is Jones is still in charge so What if the team goes further down like the Skins? Do I drop my support for the team or do I continue o be a fan. That is the real question afterall.

What's the Skins record this year again?
Its not about their record.

Its the fact Snyder got out of the way, got rid of the yes men, and hired a proven coach and GM.

So you can't be a fan of the team without giving Jerry your cash?

Yeah, because boycotting exclusively means severing all ties with the team. Quit being a dumbass.

Apparently noone in here has given him any money for decades. Eons, maybe. Somehow, against all odds....Jerry is still the GM.

So yeah, all that's left is your fandom. Which has now morphed into a hipster fandom where you look down on people who wear jerseys and go to games, because they are the ones just being "fleeced".

It's about the stupidest little "look at the enlightened man/fan that I am" shit I've ever seen.

I don't appreciate being lumped in with hipsters.

It has to start somewhere.

I've made my choice and will continue to do so. I used to buy the 1st round picks jerseys every year and always bought hats & t-shirts for myself and brothers at Christmas. And then I realized that the GM of the Cowboys was spending his time promoting the marketing of the team. That's fine if you're the owner, but this is the GM. This guy was supposed to be making my team better.

Not doing it to be hip...I just don't believe that you keep pumping money into a system that is broken.

That's not going to happen with the Cowboys. As long as Jones is breathing he will do things his way. And yes it is about records. That is the measuring stick for fans. Let's do a little exercise. Is the purpose to this entire discussion to determine a method to get Jones to change his approach so the team can improve their record? I think yes.
