4. America would never support Greg Hardy

For all the fun reasons on this list, I’m dead serious about this. Hardy is an absolute clown if the reports are true that he threw his former girlfriend, Nicole Holder, onto a couch covered in guns during a domestic dispute. There is no reason to support Hardy, let alone sign him. Anybody who would even allegedly put their hands on a woman has no place in the NFL.

Yet, Jones had no problem signing this individual because he might have been able to generate a few sacks after his 10-game suspension is up. Americans tolerate a lot of nonsense from its citizens and leaders, but it is not tolerable of “men” who beat up on women. There is no place for it, apparently unless you play for the Cowboys and it is only alleged. Then it’s cool.

3. The fans suck

Last year, players were openly talking about how going to Cowboys Stadium was basically a home game for opponents. That’s right, Cowboys fans were selling their tickets before the season began to incoming fan bases because they thought the team was going to stink. If that isn’t the most un-American you read today, I don’t know what is.

When the 1980 USA Hockey Team played against Russia, were people looking to sell their tickets to that nice, non-smiling couple from Moscow? NO! Why? Because even though it would take a miracle for the boys in red, white and blue to win, you never give up. Americans should be ashamed of the way the Cowboys were treated by their “fans” down in Texas.
