Why I HATE Dallas

Hate is a strong word. A very strong word. The use of it is usually inappropriate in almost any context. There are very few things in this world that when it boils right down to it anybody really hates. To hate something is to detest it. If you hate something you cannot stand the look of it, the thought of it, and especially seeing or being around it. With all that being said...

...I HATE DALLAS.

There is nothing more in this world that I feel a pure, absolute hatred toward than the Dallas Cowboys. Just thinking of that team makes my blood boil. The sight of their colors sends me into a rage that is borderline unacceptable of a sports fan. Their players are disgusting primadonna's and their fans are ignorant of anything to do with football.

Besides the rivalry on the field, which I still claim is the best in any professional sport, fans of Dallas that live in the DMV are something that really gets my hatred accelerated into fifth gear. How someone can live in this area their entire life and root for Dallas is beyond comprehensible. They have lived here forever, yet the proclaim their love for a city they know nothing about. They have no link to the city or anything to do with the team, and most likely have never visited that area. But damn if they won't claim their undying love for the team and let you know how beneath them you really are.

My favorite claim by Dallas' organization: America's Team. Says who? When was there a decision that Dallas, Texas would represent the United States as our best and favorite team? Hell no. Where is Dallas on the grand stage of America? Does anyone ever talk about Dallas except for when Tony Romo is dating a new singer? No. Last I checked, the NATION'S CAPITAL has a team. I would not expect Dallas fans to necessarily understand that logically though. The team that represents the capital of the free world should definitely never be "America's Team"...

...Finally, the Dallas Cowboy colors. VOMIT. I'm not sure what made Dallas think that the white on a hideous shade of a silverish color looked awesome, but news flash: it doesn't. It looks terrible. And for the couple of games where the ugly blue jersey is on; it still looks horrendous. There is nothing appealing about the Dallas uniform. It's disgusting, it's ugly, and there's nothing about it that makes me ever want to look something that hideous again...

There are two weeks out of the year that I have trouble keeping my emotions for football in check. They are the week Dallas comes to Washington, and the week Washington goes to Dallas. I'm sure many Redskins fans will echo it, but for me, I mean it in the most literal way possible: I HATE DALLAS.
