There's no such thing as "America's Team", its a stupid concept and always was a stupid concept.

Yeah, even though the Indians sold their lands for beads when it wasn't just taken from them, now they are getting it back with poker chips, payback is a bitch after all.

Yeah but besides, the original fight song for the Skins had "scalp 'em" in it.

I always thought it was the Atlanta Braves!!!

from wiki....

The "Braves" name, which was first used in 1912, originates from a term for a Native American warrior. They are nicknamed "the Bravos",[who?] and often self-styled as "America's Team" in reference to the team's games being broadcast on the nationally available TBS from the 1970s until 2007, gaining a wide fanbase.

America has already spoken in regards to this.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8254ee9c/article/survey-says-packers-not-cowboys-now-americas-team

If you don't already, you should know it was the fine folks at NFL Films who dubbed the Dallas Cowboys "America's Team" more than three decades ago. There wasn't any quantitative research to support the nickname, just that then-location director Bob Ryan noticed plenty of Cowboys fans at stadiums across the country.


As legendary Films narrator John Facenda said at the opening of the team's 1978 yearbook highlight: "They appear on television so often that their faces are as familiar to the public as presidents and movie stars. They are the Dallas Cowboys, America's Team."

Not anymore, they aren't.

A generation later, actual data exists and reveals the Cowboys aren't "America's Team," having been replaced by the Green Bay Packers, according to Public Policy Polling's newest national survey.

The only people voting for the Patriots are Patriots fans and BG.

The Cowboys got the moniker 30 years ago of "America's Team" and so it is.

The Packers are probably the most popular team right now.

5 years from now it will be whoever else is successful without being hated.

this is correct.
it will be interesting to see how long the Pack love continues.
people like the giants because they hate the patriots this year, so there should be continued love for the one and done team.

The moniker is incorrect so it doesn't really matter if Dallas calls themselves that. The Skins are based out of DC, so they would have just as much say as any of the listed teams. But I won't argue that point either, because the saying is retarded.

The Pats were my initial thought but I think more people are getting worn out of their success. These things are cyclical. I think the Packers are probably making a push now because they APPEAR more of the "regular Joe's" team.

Cowboys are the self proclaimed

Packers have the most loyal fanbase

Patriots are delusional in that they think people outside of NE care.

Steelers have the most widespread fanbase


As far as who is "America's Team" Whoever won the most recent superbowl.
