Cowboys at Redskins 10/29/17
- A new profile on Jerry Jones reveals that the chaos within the Dallas Cowboys may be more severe than previously thought. Following the Cowboys’ bye week, a detailed ESPN article highlighted the extensive access fans have to the team’s practice facility, which is unlike any other team in the league. While these tours increase fan engagement and revenue, they reportedly impact player comfort and happiness, as they often have to deal with “random people” wandering through their work environment.
Although the Cowboys claim that tours are scheduled to avoid player areas during practice and meetings, former players have described the tours as a major distraction, contradicting Jones’ goal of ending the team’s lengthy Super Bowl drought. The article emphasizes that the tours generate nearly $10 million annually, reflecting the passionate support of Cowboys fans.
Players have commented that while the tours are not directly responsible for their playoff struggles, the reality of life in Dallas can be less appealing than it appears, particularly in light of the team’s ongoing challenges.
