| 2. With the best radio network in Mexico and a Mexican-American quarterback |
|
we pretty much are already Mexico's team. The outside Texas American audience can drop in half for the Cowboys and they are going to be fine.

| 4. If Texas secedes Austin will become the "Berlin of the USA" |
|
The Capitol Building and the suburbs will be in the soverign country of Texas, but the inner city will remain a part of the liberal USA. Well, in spirit anyway.

| 5. I liked what Jim Brown said about the Cowboys years ago. . . |
|
on one of the late night talk shows.
"The Cowboys? That's not America's team," Brown declared.
"They're not?" said the host. "They say they are."
"Yeah, well, anyone can say anything about themselves, but it's who you are that proves what you are. And the Cowboys aren't America's team."
"If they're not, who is?"
"The Raiders."
"The Raiders?"
"Yeah. They're a bunch of misfits that no one else wants who'll do anything to win. That's America."

"The Lone Star State of Texas" than yes, they are America's team (in that parallel universe you live in)

I have already alerted this and other threads which are focusing on bashing Texas and Texans. The bigotry on DU has gotten out of control.

in the Lone Star State.
While they're at it, hang the motherfucker named Tom Delay, after covering him with fire ants.

If a team names themselves "America's Team" that means they're not. GAC
