The Steelers were actually offered by the NFL to be considered America’s team first but Art Rooney refused. Also idk about the Cowboys being one of the most popular teams right now. I think the most popular teams in recent years have been the Chiefs, Bills, Eagles, Ravens, etc. I’m definitely looking forward to that Thanksgiving game tho. It’ll be a good one
The Cowboys are definitely popular, and they have a big fan base, but I don’t think they’re one of the most popular teams currently. The reason why the Cowboys are one of the most known teams worldwide is pretty much because of its Texas culture. And most foreign countries associate the USA with Texas more than any other state. Also even just the team name “Cowboy” is very American. So that’s why the brand is popular overseas
