    NFL Films was preparing the team's 1978 season recap and the producers found that the Cowboys had strong fan bases throughout the US it was decided to title the 1978 season film America's Team. The name has stuck ever since

    In the 70s this name was given to them and it stuck.While I agree there is no America's team.The Cowboys do sell the most team related stuff.

    I am a Packer fan myself and am in now way rooting for the Cowboys i did include a link below on the orgin of the name

    They seem to be americas most hated team. Hell most of the fans there were Bear fans as even people in dallas do not like the cowboys

    I'm not sure why either considering how Texas always wants to be independent, it's a slap in the face to call those turds America's team.

    @Terry V: it's "gang-related" sales, not because they are fans of the team.
