8. Aren’t they really Mexico’s Team?

The Cowboys are a heck of a lot closer to the capital of Mexico (Mexico City) than they are to Washington D.C. In addition, Dallas doesn’t even have all of the American colors in the uniform. The Cowboys should just got for broke and change the team colors to green, red, and white. Maybe throw in some games across the border for good measure.

Mexico has hosted NFL games before, and the crowds have always turned out to be rowdy and full of excitement. Why not give them the Cowboys and let them see what pain feels like when Tony Romo drops back and throws a ridiculous, back-breaking interception to end the season?

7. There are much better options

Frankly, it is about being a winner, good-looking and fawned over by the media, right? Doesn’t this mean Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers needs to be involved? How about Drew Brees, who led a devastated city back from Hurricane Katrina and to its first Super Bowl victory only a few years later? Now that’s an American story, not Romo dating Jessica Simpson.

The Saints seem like a very obvious choice as America’s Team because of the recent history, although the Green Bay Packers are also in the running. Green Bay is this tiny town that has proven to be a juggernaut in pro football, earning the moniker of Titletown. Sounds like America to me.
