The Dallas Cowboys are sitting at 3-3 after dropping in embarrassing trend to the Detroit Lions in Week 6. The Cowboys misplaced 47-9 and it was an endlessly embarrassing efficiency. They almost gave up 50 factors at dwelling and determined it made sense to try a area purpose down 34-6 halfway via the third quarter.
The embarrassment didn’t finish there. Shortly after the sport ended, the X (previously Twitter) account for the Cowboys stadium determined to publish a tweet with the attendance complete. 93,644 followers had been readily available for a very embarrassing show. And someway, AT&T stadium determined to make the end result all of the extra embarrassing.
Yep, the stadium X account determined to blur out the rating on the graphic displaying the attendance determine.
Sports activities services have gotten in on the social media sport, with most stadiums having an X account to advertise occasions and notable attendance figures to followers. A few of the extra hardcore followers may observe such accounts, however the next is considerably smaller than these of the principle group accounts. The AT&T Stadium X account has 117,000 followers whereas the Dallas Cowboys X account has 4.4 million followers. The Detroit Lions account that quote-tweeted the blurred scoreboard has 1.7 million followers.
It may need slid by, however with the Lions dunking on it, we will anticipate a lot extra people dunking on this absurdity. And I as a San Francisco 49ers fan am fully hear for it. I get not wanting to indicate the rating, however they simply might have discovered a photograph of the gang that didn’t present Jerry Jones’ huge scoreboard. I get that it’s huge, however you’re telling me they couldn’t get a single different photograph of the sector that didn’t require blurring out the rating?
UPDATE: Apparently this has been a little bit of a recurring theme. Dallas photojournalist Noah Bullard famous that the attendance graphic had the rating blurred out for the Week 3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, however not blurred out for the Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints. It’s not fully clear why they’re doing it, however they’re.
