<\/p>\n“Why should the Dallas Cowboys be ‘America’s Team?’ Their glory days are a distant memory.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Dallas Cowboys have been known as \u201cAmerica\u2019s Team\u201d for almost a half-century, but one sports commentator thinks it\u2019s time they lose that title in favor of a more deserving team: the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n
CNN World Sport anchor Don Riddell posted an Instagram video this week pointing out the issues with the Cowboys retaining that \u201cAmerica\u2019s Team\u201d title.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy should the Dallas Cowboys be \u2018America\u2019s Team?’\u201d Riddell asked. \u201cTheir glory days are a distant memory. Maybe it\u2019s time we pick a new team for America and I think the people of Dallas might be OK with it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cowboys haven\u2019t won a Super Bowl since 1996, and you know how many playoff games they\u2019ve won in the last 25 years? Four. Don\u2019t you think that a country that likes to think of itself as a winner should give its affection to a team that actually wins things? Well the Kansas City Chiefs are that team right now. Three Super Bowls in just five years. Possibly an unprecedented three-peat on the horizon. And they\u2019re a genuine crossover team with Taylor Swift and millions of Swifties cheering them on. That\u2019s surely America\u2019s team.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Cowboys fans obviously would not support this proposal, although Riddell tries to sell it based on historical ties, pointing out the Chiefs franchise actually started in Dallas (the Dallas Texans) in the old American Football League.<\/p>\n \u201cSo who really is \u2018America\u2019s Team?’\u201d Riddell asked. \u201cIsn\u2019t it time that we picked a historical and relevant team that is more deserving of the title? And by the way, Dallas still gets to claim a slice of the glory.\u201d<\/p>\n
