JerryWorld should look like that, but our fans are fucking simps.

Not really.

There's legitimate frustration with how the cowboys are run, but the two situations aren't remotely comparable.

The White Sox have 31 wins so far in 135 games (31-104).

The Cowboys have 36 wins in their past 48 games (36-12).

The White Sox have 2 winning seasons in the past decade. The Cowboys have had 7.

In fact, the Cowboys have only had 3 losing seasons since 2005, which is kind of impressive.

Yes they haven't had enough postseason success but they aren't in the same universe as the problems the White Sox are having.

I was making a point about attendance, not the two franchises. Jerry only understands money. If you're an enabler who buys season tickets or team merchandise, you're part of the problem. If you want to effect real change, stop going to the games.

PSLs keep the money going to Jerry regardless from what I understand about them.

And my point was that they shouldn't be at about 10% capacity like the White Sox are, because the recent success of the 2 franchises are worlds apart.

The Cowboys have over a .700 winning percentage in the past three seasons. That's never going to equate to near zero levels of attendance in any city. That doesn't make Cowboys fans "simps".

Reagan once said that if you want more of something, subsidize it. That's what the fans of the Metroplex are doing with their dollars. We win just enough to keep the suckers coming through the turnstiles. The fact that we aren't as wretched at the White Sox gives me little solace.

Invoking Reagan is a low blow you son of a bitch. :lol

That's crazy.

I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before.

Not even when the Astros had back-to-back seasons with over 100 losses did the attendance ever get that poor.

That's when it's time for a franchise to move.

And yet they have to be renewed. Who in their right mind is renewing them?
Fortune 500 companies, law firms, and other big ass companies with money who just use them to entertain clients.

When you go to a game you want to see the team win. When you go to a Cowboys games, they generally win. It's not more complicated than that. Fans aren't thinking in terms of, no post season success, I'm not going to watch the Cowboys beat the shit out of the Redskins to deprive Jerry of my $400.
