The fan began dragging the fact of how loyal Cowboys fans are. As a result, the team’s games earn a lot of money, which is what Jerry Jones wants. The billionaire is getting the money, so why would he think much about the team? The fan’s comment stated, “That’s why Jerry Jones doesn’t care.”

And this was the reason why this game had so much viewership. The comment read, “Well, duh, there wasn’t anything else on at the time. Of course, it’s going to get views.”
