Why we are fans of ‘Da Boys….the psyche of Dallas Cowboys fans explained posted on 12/19/2008
I’m new to the world of sports blogging and from what I’ve seen thus far, a female perspective is lacking-but never fear, I’m here to supply! While it seems the boys of blog do a fine job quoting stats, talking trash, and weighing countless win/lose scenarios, what’s missing is an exploration of the emotions that make adrenaline pump through the bodies of sports fans across the country. Therefore my blog will explore how I feel about what’s going on in the sports world rather than scrutinizing what the reality of it all is-I know, just like a woman.
I LOVE the Cowboys yet they are the team so many folks love to hate, and I can understand why. Thus, for my first entry, I feel compelled to shed some light on why I, and millions of others, are Cowboy fans. Truth is, I can’t help it, I was born a Cowboy fan. I really was-it’s almost genetic! Check out the historical evidence: When I was about 5 my dad got so upset that I was rooting for the Redskins (which I was doing in order to get his attention because I knew he wanted the Cowboys to beat that team more than any other, master manipulator from a very young age) that, over his friend’s loud protests, he turned down the volume on the game and explained to me that “We LOVE the Cowboys baby!

Even recently-the only text message my mother has ever sent says “how ‘bout them Cowboys!” (We’re so proud.). But you see my point; so many experiences contribute to the fans we are today that some of us really can’t help who we root for. It's not based on any rationale, it's all heart.
