Donald Trump is back in the White House. After months of campaign and debates, Trump has the last smile as he beats Kamala Harris to become the 47th POTUS. But what caught the attention of the NFL fans is that while everything changes, Dallas Cowboys’ form is still the same.
The Dallas Cowboys, long known as “America’s Team,” are often met with high expectations each NFL season. However, despite these aspirations, the team has not reached the Super Bowl since 1995. Instead, the Cowboys’ post-1995 journey has been marked by repeated playoff heartbreaks and, at times, severe disappointments. This season seems to be heading in the same direction, with Dallas sitting at a disappointing 3-5 record. A third consecutive loss, all against NFC rivals, has pushed the team further from their goals, intensifying criticism and frustration among fans.
To make matters worse, the Cowboys lost their quarterback, Dak Prescott, during their recent defeat against the Atlanta Falcons. Prescott’s injury is expected to sideline him for at least four games, a blow that has left the team’s playoff hopes even more uncertain. “Their ineptitude has made them a laughingstock among football fans,” was remarked in frustration by fans, capturing the sentiment across social media. The Cowboys, who have often been the focus of national attention, now face intensified scrutiny and ridicule.
Adding a lighter yet ironic twist to their struggles, Election Day saw a humorous meme circulate online, capturing how even in a politically divided nation, the Cowboys could unite people in criticism. The joke, though amusing, underscored the team’s place as a unifying target for football fans. In a more poignant observation, some fans noted that in the span of Donald Trump’s two electoral cycles, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys have still not reached a Conference Championship Game.
