Dallas’s Mayor Says City Deserves a Second NFL Team
NFL on CBS tweeted on Thursday asking which city deserved a team if the league were to announce one. Dallas mayor Eric Johnson believes his city is deserving of a second team.
The Dallas–Fort Worth area already is home to “America’s team,” the Cowboys. Why would they need another team? Johnson offered an answer.
“The answer is Dallas,” Johnson tweeted. “Why? We are about to pass the Chicago metro and become the #3 metro in the US, which would make us the largest US metro WITHOUT 2 teams. Football is king here. Dallas needs an expansion team and we would be able to sustain 2 NFL teams better than LA or NY.”
