The Dallas Cowboys are 60 years old. That’s insane to think about.
Multiple generations have spent Sunday after Sunday rooting on America’s Team, experiencing trial and tribulation. Traditions have been passed down. Memorabilia has seen people gather around it for the story of how it came to be. For many, the Dallas Cowboys are a family affair.
Perhaps that is why Cowboys fans are so passionate. What makes the team fascinating is that it has experienced either high levels of success or high levels of controversy in each of the six decades that they have existed.
The 2020 team has been wearing a special patch on their jerseys to commemorate this entire anniversary, and if that thing could talk it would likely tell you that a whole lot has happened from Tex Schramm to Jerry Jones with Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson, Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, an all-time record, Michael Irvin, five Super Bowls, and whatever the last quarter century has been.
