The Dallas Cowboys are sitting at 3-3 after shedding in embarrassing style 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 residence and determined it made sense to aim a area purpose down 34-6 halfway by way 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 publish a tweet with the attendance complete. 93,644 followers have been available for a really embarrassing show. And by some means, AT&T stadium determined to make the consequence all of the extra embarrassing.
Yep, the stadium X account determined to blur out the rating on the graphic exhibiting the attendance determine.
Sports activities services have gotten in on the social media recreation, with most stadiums having an X account to advertise occasions and notable attendance figures to followers. A number 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.

It might need slid by, however with the Lions dunking on it, we will anticipate a lot 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 point out the rating, however they simply might have discovered a photograph of the gang that didn’t present Jerry Jones’ large scoreboard. I get that it’s massive, however you’re telling me they couldn’t get a single different picture 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.
