To answer your question, Canada Dude, It was decided upon my the football media in the 1970s, because the Cryboys, er um, Cow Turds, uh, Cowboys somehow became the epitomy of a Flashy, Glitzy, Show Biz type genere to their style of play. This was fueld by the fact that extremely attactive females in skimpy outfits (not complaining about that at all [:p]) as cheerleaders certainly helped to exemplfy this perceived persona. All this coupled with talented player (some of whom have been a bunch of A-holes over the years) brought forth the America's Team Bull Shoot that still stands somewhat to this day. It really is strange too, because the Cryboys were an NFL expansion team who didn't come into the NFL until 1960 or something.
Now then, might I add an editorial of my own? If any team in the NFL should be America's Team, it should be the PITTSBURGH STEELERS. Now before you say "Screw You, Steeler Fan" hear me out. Yes, it is no secret that the Steelers are my team, BUT that is NOT the reason I suggest this! My reasons are this. If you go anywhere in this country, YOU WILL FIND STEELERS FANS!!!! It's amazing! There are Steeler Fans all over the place, and Steeler Bars and Clubs in just about every major metro area in the U.S.A. I even heard about Steeler fans as far away as London, and Ireland! This is why I think the Steelers should be "America's Team" and NOT the strut your stuff CryBoys of Dallas! HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS????...PA-LEEEEEEEZ!

Loved the explanation, Oiznop, about the Dallas Cryboys! I've always been annoyed by the term "America's team." There seem to be more closet/fair weather Dallas fans than any other team. After the first Super Bowl win over Buffalo there were tons of people wearing Dallas gear claiming "oh, I've ALWAYS been a Dallas fan." Funny, though, when they were in the bottom of the league not one of the Dallas fans supported them. At least in Buffalo and Pittsburgh a fan is a fan....no matter what the season record is. Even though I am a western NY person and a devoted Bills fan I often cheer for the Steelers....they have been another one of my favorite teams for years. And you are correct-you find Steelers fans all over. I live in central NY state (not Canada) and there are quite a few Steelers fans up here-a pal I taught with lives and dies with the Steelers. And for the record...the Dallas Cowboys cheeleaders may be cute and all but I still think the Buffalo Jills and the Denver Pony Express are better!
Bah, most teams have fan clubs all over. I hurts to admit this, but I went to an Eagles bar in San Francisco twice while I was out there (only because my friends really wanted to go). One of the guys looked it up, and there's a fan club in just about every major city. Plus, there are thousands of fans for the away team in any game, and they don't all travel. But hey, I'd rather like the Steelers than the Eagles! Go Giants
