  • The Dallas Cowboys: America's
    THE DALLAS COWBOYS: AMERICA’S (MEDIA) TEAM 1 The Dallas Cowboys: America’s (Media) Team Nicholas Franciosa / Sean Martin Montclair State University THE DALLAS COWBOYS: AMERICA’S (MEDIA) TEAM 2 Abstract The Dallas Cowboys often refer to as America’s Team is often tossed into the spotlight of the NFL. Why is one team so important and how can they have such a giant impact on the thoughts and actions of the viewing public and regular people? The answer to this lies all within the Psychoanalytic Theory and approach to media. In this paper we will describe how the various elements of the Psychoanalytic Theory apply to The Dallas Cowboys and how the view on masculinity will come into play. Stuart Hall and his Encoding and Decoding theory will also be tied into The Dallas Cowboys. With all great football teams there are cheerleaders and none can hold a candle to the cheerleaders of The Dallas Cowboys. Within this paper you will learn just how influential America’s Team is and how much you never even knew about them. THE DALLAS COWBOYS: AMERICA’S (MEDIA) TEAM 3 Nick Franciosa/Sean Martin CMDA 210 Haines 12/02/15 The Dallas Cowboys: America’s (Media) Team The Dallas Cowboys, formed in 1960, are said to be one of the most influential and greatest football teams in NFL history. Residing in Dallas, Texas, hence the name Dallas Cowboys, the team has had many nicknames over the years. Some nicknames include the Doomsday Defense, The ‘Boys and The Big D. However out of all these nicknames there is one that has struck a place in American history and remains plastered to the team today, and that nickname is America’s Team.

You could say that Tom Landry Highway is the backbone of North Texas. From it you can see Cotton Bowl Stadium, the original home of the Cowboys, and the team’s current home, AT&T Stadium in Arlington. It’s fitting, because in many ways, Landry helped build Dallas. As the original head coach in 1960, he transformed a winless, laughable team into an American sports juggernaut.

But with the benefit of hindsight, Brooks also sees that something was always a bit off about her dad, going back to when she was a child. The outgoing guy she always knew suddenly became less socially engaged in the early 1980s, about 10 years after Andrie retired from the NFL. “He was definitely a family man; I want to make it totally clear that he was a loving father,” Brooks said. “I just thought that he was needy. I thought he was middle-aged, grumpy. I knew that he was withdrawn and a little distant and had a very hard time with social situations and things like that—and he didn’t used to be that way. “But we didn’t know. If you look back now, the man suffered forever. It all makes sense now.” Andrie, 78, played defensive end for the Dallas Cowboys from 1962 to 1972. A member of the original Doomsday Defense, he played in five Pro Bowls and was a first-team All-Pro once—an all-timer for the franchise that proudly sells itself as America’s Team.
