America's Team?

I wish someone with some internet savvy would start an online petition to have the NFL ask sports broadcasters to STOP referring to the dallas cowboys as "America's Team". They haven't been "America's Team" for decades! It's my understanding that they got that name back before the NFL had the wide geographical distribution and fans without a team tended to like the cowboys. Back then, they had class, they had cute cheerleaders and they were one of the few Southern teams. But that was then, this is now. They can call themselves whatever they want but they can do it without the endorsement of the NFL or sports announcers.
