The Dallas Cowboys have long been nicknamed “America’s team,” an organization with five Super Bowl titles and a fanbase that stretches from coast to coast.
“A lot of fair-weather people from across the country that just kind of fell in love because they’re winners instead of having any type of emotional connection to the team whatsoever.”
Kelce, a two-time Pro Bowl honoree, added that there are players on the Cowboys’ roster for whom he has respect, including linebacker Sean Lee and offensive lineman Travis Frederick, but “it’s more the organization that you don’t like.”

Schramm was one of several franchise leaders who brought in new players and convinced others to cross the picket line in an attempt to undercut the players’ union’s efforts.
Regardless of his personal feelings about the Cowboys, Kelce also said the rivalry between Dallas and the Eagles certainly still exists, even though the Cowboys are 3-5 and haven’t won a playoff game since 2014.
“I don’t really know what it was like to beat the Cowboys when they were really, really good,” Kelce said on 94.1 WIP. “Since I’ve been in the league, there’s been (a lot of parity.)
“But there’s certainly a rivalry there. We play them twice a year. Everything’s heightened.”
