The Dallas Cowboys chose to brand themselves as America’s Team, and it largely stuck, at least among Cowboys fans and those outside of sports, or football. The real truth is that America has no one team, and it’s quite arguable that that is part of what being American is about. There are many options.
Still, it can’t be denied that there are some teams more than others who hold prestige, for a variety of reasons, whether it is their organizational success or parts of their history, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are without question in that discussion.
They were also a part of Colin Cowherd’s discussion when, on July 3rd, he created a list of 10 teams throughout all of American sports that he feels are representative of what it is to be an American, and an American team.
