The Dallas Cowboys are sitting at 3-3 after shedding in embarrassing vogue to the Detroit Lions in Week 6. The Cowboys misplaced 47-9 and it was an endlessly embarrassing efficiency. They practically gave up 50 factors at dwelling and determined it made sense to aim a subject objective down 34-6 halfway by means of 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 submit a tweet with the attendance complete. 93,644 followers had been readily available for a really embarrassing show. And someway, AT&T stadium determined to make the outcome 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 amenities 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 would possibly comply with such accounts, however the next is considerably smaller than these of the principle crew 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 are able to count on lots extra of us dunking on this absurdity. And I as a San Francisco 49ers fan am completely hear for it. I get not wanting to indicate the rating, however they simply may have discovered a photograph of the group 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 sphere 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 completely clear why they’re doing it, however they’re.
