"Flag? Sorry. We don't have any more room."
How annoying is Jerry Jones, the megalomaniac owner of "America's Team", the Dallas Cowboys? For years, we have watched this camera-loving owner front and center on any news that pertains to his team. Tony Romo is dating some airhead actress? Let's interview Jerry Jones. Troy Aikman may not play in the next game? Let's interview Jerry Jones. Cheerleaders? They have to be the biggest with the mostest, and we have to promote them all over the nation. Now this guy has built a new monstrosity of a football stadium that looks more like a theme park, with the world's largest scoreboard hovering over the playing field and blocking opposing team's punts. (I guess it retracts when the Cowboys are punting.) At any rate, it has now been pointed out that the stadium, possibly because of the huge scoreboard, the over-endowed cheerleaders, and Jerry's ego has no room for an American flag.
Jones has added fuel to the fire by stating flat out that there will be no permanent flag installed at the stadium (which for some strange reason wasn't named Jerry Jones Stadium). Apparently the "complexity" of the stadium and its sight lines preclude having a permanent flag. The good news is that the flag can be shown digitally. How stirring!
Are you telling me that this monster stadium cannot accommodate an American flag? C'mon! Why not hang it next to the Jerry Jones flag?
OK, Jerry. If you don't want a flag, don't have a flag. I'm already prepared to move on to my next posting. But can we finally do away with this myth that the Cowboys are "America's Team"?
You Sir! You're a Cowboys fan. Aren't you a little embarrassed?
"Uhhh......yeaaaah."
Who gives a fucking shit? There aren't enough American flags around America for you? Jeez. Why don't we just require every person to wear American flag shirts and paint American flags on their faces, all the time, every day. Fake-ass non-issue. I'm sure it's part of the liberal conspiracy to destroy America and take over the world, one flag-less venue at a time.

Hey Brian,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finding this article months after it was posted. Actually, I posted it half in jest, which apparently went miles over your head.
I suggest next time you comment on an article with your "eloquent" choice of language you leave off your first name and middle initial thus remaining completely anonymous.
