There are fans and there are bandwagon fan. The latter surface on sunshiny days and disappear when it is dark. Pick you poison.
On this DCC, how many real fans vs bandwagon fans are there?

What’s the split - 50/50?

I’m still a Cowboys fan. I hate losing any game and I cannot and will not hope they lose a game. When I come to that point that I want them to lose I will go to another franchise and become a fan there. Fans support no matter what. That’s what a fan is and does. I was a fan from day one.
Horseshit. If you want to cheer blindly each and every game, that's fine. But you can keep your "fans support no matter what" rhetoric. A fan can also want what's best for the team in the long run. Even if it means a loss.

Losing that last game in '88 meant we got to pick Troy Aikman instead of Tony Mandarich. Losing against the Eagles means we can finally be rid of Jason Garrett.

Just look at this incredible fucking cockroach.
Do you believe he said this? He actually fucking said this:

“The biggest thing we have to do is to try and process this game, learn from it, and move forward,” Garrett said. “Go and have a great practice on Wednesday and preparation for Sunday.”

Take that position if you like. I really don’t care how anyone reacts but it takes you beyond simply being a fan. You are now at a level where you are second guessing matters you have no control over and hoping for things that you believe will make a difference with someone who has a long standing record of doing the opposite.

How much difference has it made for you and the team and do you think that aspect will change or reverse their actions? Maybe so but may not.

The way I see it is there absolutely needs to be a change a many levels within the organization and maybe this is the time it will happen but it won’t deter my support for wanting the team to be successful if it doesn’t. I will still want them to win. That won’t change.

You think it's easy to root for them to lose? It fucking sucks. It's one of the hardest things I have ever done as a fan of any team, especially my Cowboys. I am rooting for them to lose BECAUSE I am a fan of this team, and know that the only way they will ever get better is to lose and cause change. Like I said, it fucking sucks, but unfortunately,, that's where we are.

Face it. You're just a shitty, fake fan. Were you a fan from day one? I don't think so.

DAY. ONE.

Real fans want a proven failure of a HC to get an extension and stay in place for another half decade.

Yes, that makes perfect fucking sense.

I haven’t said anything about anyone’s fan status. I have only stated my own in that I cannot and will not root for the team to lose.

I know, right? I only own a f'ing Dallas Cowboys message board that I have posted on daily for 15 years. That has bandwagon written all over it.
Did I call you a band wagon fan. Quit feeling picked on.

You like to stir the pot and slant something that not stated. If I wanted to call someone a fake fan I would say it. You can have your opinions but keep it to what is stated.

Are you surprised?

When you say dumb shit like this, how else is somebody supposed to take it, hmmm?

This is far from the first time you've said some off the wall stuff, been called on it, then tried to back down off of it. So, no. I'm not "stirring the pot and slanting to something not stated." When people say stupid shit on this board, they get called on it. You're not immune.

Also, see jsmith's quote above. Spot on. Just because you didn't name specific names, doesn't mean a damn thing. It's in the context of the conversation.
