The national media, and outsiders in general, seem to always get things wrong concerning the Dallas Cowboys and their fans. Here are the top five common misconceptions:

Everybody seems to either love the Dallas Cowboys or they seem to hate them. There isn’t a whole lotta middle ground when it comes to “America’s Team”. This international fascination for the blue star has made the franchise a talking point in sports circles everywhere.

Who isn’t interested in hearing the latest gossip surrounding this aggressively polarizing team? The team has historically been littered with characters over the years. From bombastic players to the outspoken owner, headlines can be found in the most innocent of conversations.
