As a life long Cowboys fan, I have 2 comments about last night's game 1) "Boo for Tony Romo," terrible game; and 2) "Bigger Boo for Jerry Jones," what a waste of money that stadium is. It epitomizes America's lust for luxury and dismissal of thrift. "For a list of 20 major traded commodities, it (U.S.) takes the greatest share of 11 of them: corn, coffee, copper, lead, zinc, tin, aluminum, rubber, oil seeds, oil and natural gas. For many more it is the largest per-capita consumer." The next time you complain about an athlete's salary, think about how much we "invest" in our teams (tickets, jerseys, time, etc.). Too bad we don't invest as much in our communities, or better yet our teachers... monetarily and educationally. We worship our pets, our teams, our homes, & our cars... You should have renovated the old stadium and built 10 schools and 500 affordable homes Jerry, but that would be too unAmerican for the owner of America's team.
