Okay there are some serious flaws with this video. The Cowboys were good in the mid to late 1960s with Don Meredith as QB, not Roger Staubach and were labeled as “Next Year’s Champion” until first Super Bowl victory over Miami in 1972 with Roger as QB. For 29 years the Cowboys had one head coach and two GMs and two Directors of Marketing and three different Directors of Player Development Personnel unlike when Dipstick Jones bought the team. Also in the 1980s up to 1988 the success they had was with Danny White at QB, not Roger who retired. You also disregard the fact that since 1995 the Cowboys have not made it to the NFC Championship Game let alone Super Bowl. You have dipwad idiotic podcasts and KZbin channels claiming Dak is not the problem. Bull crap he is too and so is the Owner who has way too many responsibilities and can’t handle it. The failures of the Cowboys has weaken the hold on Texas to the point that a team in San Antonio or El Paso would probably crush it. This year if Houston makes a decent run in the playoffs; just like last year, and continue to build and get to an AFC championship game before Dallas gets back to an NFC Championship game, the mass exodus will probably take place. The noise for a third and even a fourth franchise in Texas will get louder and louder.

I live in San Antonio and I promise you. If San Antonio were to get an NFL team of our own. 90% of current SA Cowboys fans would switch over in a heartbeat.

[@wilderac2250]

To be fair on San Antonio’s part, When the AFL and XFL put their respective teams in the Alamodome, San Antonio fans consistently sold out the stadium more than any other team. So it’s not like the possibility of wanting football in the area is completely ridiculous.

AFL yes XFL not so much but it is getting better

[@fletchbg]

You guys mean AAF, not AFL. I was at the Commanders' first game in 2019, it was very well attended. The team did well and the fans kept coming. Then it all imploded. The Brahmas arent a bad team but they havent dominated like St Louis or Birmingham. The 2024 attendance was well below St. Louis (almost 23000 fewer on avg) and even below Washington DC. If the UFL can do a better job marketing in 2025 the numbers might come up, but without developing into a dominant team, attendance in San Antonio will still pale next to the Battlehawks

[@God-Will-ing]

As a Houston fan a big problem with it before this year was the fact the Cowboys monopolized almost all of Texas for the game to be aired. I lived 20 minutes South West of Houston area and was restricted from watching the Texans. Only allowed to watch Dallas. I wasn’t allowed to watch it outside of RedZone without a VPN. I moved 2 hours down the coast from Houston and no surprise still couldn’t watch the closest team, Houston. It wasn’t until this 2024 year that I was able to watch the Texans (likely because of the interest they got last year going further than the cowboys in the playoffs). This always frustrated me because the Texans don’t even play at the same time as the Cowboys. If Texas wants a third team they need to break up Dallas’s monopoly over the regions and streaming. At least allow the early games to be watched when Dallas isn’t playing.

Houston still has a decent sized Cowboys fanbase, but there was a little era there from 1996 to 2002 when Houston had no NFL team after the Oilers left, and the Cowboys and their brand was everywhere in Houston.

[@YoungChuy2398]

Folks in Austin care about college sports more than professional sports

[@billtooke6642]

New York technically has 1.

Love all the videos keep it up. Wanna see one on every team and every sport haha

[@waynetompkins3006]

In their heyday, the Cowboys were the dominant team not just in Texas, but Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, Arizona and Nevada. Truly a regional team.

[@KittyPurrfect100]

Cowboys are the Maple Leafs of the NFL. Always a bridesmaid never a bride. More like an usher at a wedding. Why not have the Cowboys and Lions rotate into the prime time Thanksgiving game instead of Lions at 12:30 pm and Cowboys at 4:30 pm? Put some random teams on at 12:30 or 4:30; game 1) Vikings vs Lions, CBS 2) LA Chargers vs Chiefs, FOX 3) Packers vs Cowboys, NBC 1) Giants vs Commanders, FOX 2) Eagles vs Cowboys, CBS 3) Bengals vs Lions, NBC. For example

[@kevinh.7994]

Central Texas will have to wait until the other NFL owners feel like their losing money with no third Texas team, Jerry wouldn't be able to stop it then. I'm from the Austin/San Antonio area and the Cowboys support would dry up if the area got it's own team especially since Americas team has been phoning it in for close to 30 years.

[@WDI2008]

Main reason why Texas currently doesn't have a third NFL team is also because Los Angeles, CA did not have an NFL team from 1995-2016.The Houston Texans were originally intended for Los Angeles but couldn't agree on a new stadium. Then when Rams owner Stan Kroenke told Jerry Jones that he wanted to move the Rams back to Los Angeles Jones gave Kroenke his full blessing and support since Los Angeles, CA is the second largest market in the country and didn't impact Cowboys territory.

[@anthony_rivera4735]

Give San Antonio a team while Jerry jones is still around.

[@Conejo147]

Yes bro yessss

[@bradenkropp7956]

San Antonio looked into having an NFL team but then they found out Dallas wanted one too

Props for including Uncle Brent audio!

[@marcus813]

The Cowboys' influence even spread to Arizona, which had radio affiliates for the club pre-Cardinals. As for Texas, if the Alamodome could be either heavily renovated or replaced, I'm sure about the San Antonio DMA being a viable NFL market.

[@bozimmerman]

I'm sure they'll come back to being Cowboy fans when the Cardinals move to their 83rd city or whatever.

City population-wise San Antonio is the largest city without a NFL team, but metro population wise both San Diego and St Louis (teams got relocated not long ago) are larger than San Antonio

Forth worth has an NFL team they just still called Dallas cowboys.

[@overbanked]

You can argue that Ft Worth shares the Cowboys with Dallas (Arlington TX being between both cities)

Yeah, Jerry will kill any deal outside of Houston as long as he lives.

[@Kaizoku_Zoro]

[@deathlessgamer]

There are 32 teams in the NFL. If you added a third team in Texas, that would make a very uneven 33. It's as simple as that.

[@Bullboy_Adventures]

Just move a team there

[@illtrill]

Or add two.

[@Gage_Brumley]

Move the Chargers or Commanders there. The former has zero fanbase in their current city and the latter is in desparate need of a nicer stadium.

[@wilderac2250]

Then add two expansion teams, now you have an even 34 team

[@Mrwashington007]

@@Gage_BrumleyThe Commanders won’t happen, they have since got a new owner and he’s already in works of getting a new stadium deal.

No Super Bowl in years, but they have a regular winning record. That's where Marketing and branding helps. They would have to implode to lose their niche.

The NFL needs to stand up to the Jones family and stop letting a senile old man’s vanity project run the state, and the league for that matter, causing the league to miss out on the revenue pile that is the South Texas metro area. NFL in SATX/ATX NOW.

San Antonio and Austin are not the same metro area or television market.

[@Fernandiuscardelius]

why can’t El Paso have anything😭

[@bozimmerman]

I love yall out there, but you need to hit at least 2-3 million in the metro area to catch the NFL's eye.

[@marksalotsalot]

San Antonio doesn’t have a team because there isn’t enough Fortune 500 companies in town to support it with suites and luxury boxes. San Antonio is poor.

[@DeadAir21]

That has zero to do do with it. It’s 100% because Jerry Jones will block any franchise moving to San Antonio or Austin. Before the Raiders chose to move to Las Vegas he toured land in between San Antonio and Austin. But no one really took that visit seriously since you need a 2/3 vote to approve a move and Jerry would have enough support to have 10 owners say no.

[@albertsancho5909]

For example, AT&T a major fortune 500 company was founded and headquartered in San Antonio but then end up moving to Dallas to attract more educated higher skilled workers. The Dallas Forth/Worth area has a lot of fortune 500 companies enough to support the Cowboys financially and locally. AT&T stadium has the nearly the most luxury suites among all NFL stadiums.

[@bozimmerman]

I don't know about that -- San Antonio is rich in all the ways that matter. Greatest town on Earth, IMHO. (I live up in Williamson county, but I 'vacation' with yall whenever I can).

[@SizzurpFoo]

Cowboys should move to nfc south or west

[@Damianoutlaw]

The NFL is in the ratings business. The NFL will always want its most high profile team playing against the largest markets in NYC, DC and Philly. The NFC EAST is the only division where all the teams are in large market cities.

[@jvanek8512]

@@Damianoutlaw that may be true in the past, but the teams that have been bringing in the ratings are teams in smaller markets like The Chiefs. Giants, Eagles and Commanders aren't bringing in the ratings. The rest of the country doesn't care about those teams

[@John-ct9zs]

Going by region, yes the Cowboys should play in the NFC South or West, but that will never happen. The league and the networks won't let it happen. This is an advantage the Cowboys have over the Texans, who play in the dismal and boring AFC South versus say playing in the AFC East, North, or West against more high profile teams like the Patriots, Bills, Jets, Steelers, Dolphins, Chiefs, Broncos or Raiders. Instead, the Texans get the Jaguars, Titans, and Colts. When the Oilers were around, they at least had a high profile match up with their division rival Steelers, but that wasn't enough of a national rivalry to keep a new Houston team matched up again with the Steelers.

[@anthonytorres7411]

I live in San Antonio, and I'm a texans fan. The cowboys have become a mediocre team because they are always chokeing in the playoffs and its the same cycle. To all my San Antonioans out there, don't root for the cowboys cause there, not our team. Jerry Jones just uses us for a bigger fan base if he really loved us San Antonio people . He would bring a couple of cowboys games here to the alamodome for us to have nfl experience, but no, he's just a greedy person and don't care about the team or the fan base. San Antonio/austin really needs to have their own football team at this point. We're a big state, and yet we only have two teams. For example, Flordia has three teams.

[@anthonytorres7411]

Raelly? trying to throw things at me saying I'm a fair weather fan

[@jesusflores7230]

El Paso should be considered, El Paso could be the true door for the NFL to break the México market, El Paso, Juárez and Las Cruces New Mexico alone are 3 mil, also a 3 hour drive from Alburquque, and it’s would really Grab the attention from northern Mexico

[@selwrynn6702]

It'd be interesting though if San Antonio got a team so that there was one on each corner of the Texas Triangle.

[@DXPEDLR]

Didn’t even talk about the RGV. The metro has around 1.2million people and would also have support from the other side of the border, which would almost double the amount of support. Football isn’t as big as it should be, but we are barely even getting a college football team at UTRGV. We’ve also had the best NBA G League team in terms of most wins. Rio Grande Valley Vipers!

[@garretteverett6181]

I'd like san Antonio and Austin to make a team together placed right in the middle because they aren't really that far apart

[@jacoblara4820]

If San Antonio is so important to the team then why not play some games here? I think more and more every year Sa grows tired of this team as do their own fans in Dallas I 100% feel a new team here would gain support from San Antonians instantly, with the possibility of also playing games in Austin as the spurs already do

[@kmena05]

the Cowboys only see San Antonio as people that can buy Cowboys merch and get sucked in to the Cowboys mediocrity.
