Dallas Cowboys fans voice their frustration – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

It's been an ugly start to the season for the Dallas Cowboys and the fans are feeling it.

Many are venting their frustration, including one fan who is taking his message to the streets.

“I came here out of passion and love,” said Stephen Gonzalez, an Allen resident and lifelong Cowboys fan.

After the team's loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, which dropped their season record to 1-2, Gonzalez made a bold move and hoped the Cowboys would do the same.

On Monday, he walked onto the field in front of the Ford Center at The Star, the Cowboys' headquarters, holding a cardboard sign that read, “Fire the GM, Jerry!”

“May my voice be heard,” Gonzalez said.

The sign suggests Jerry Jones, the Cowboys' owner, is firing himself as the team's general manager.

Gonzalez's hot take led to rider after rider doing double takes at The Star, including one who screamed “Preach!”

“As people who love and care about the Dallas Cowboys and the brand he built, we just think it’s time to let go,” Gonzalez said. “Let someone else take over.”

A photo of Gonzalez holding his sign has been viewed nearly 200,000 times online, with one comment saying, “A movement the entire #CowboysNation can support.”

“This is where we break into The Star’s front office. If we just say it casually, he’ll never hear it, but that’s what we say,” Gonzalez said.

During an interview with 105.3 The Fan's Shan and RJ Show on Tuesday, Jones responded to fans' claims that he is the one responsible for the Cowboys' problems.

“It's very fair. It is well known that no decision is made in the end without my either agreeing or assenting. That's very fair. How could you think otherwise?” Jones replied.

Gonzales, a lifelong Cowboys fan, says he has no plans to leave the team or what he believes is the most deserving fan base in football.

“Hopefully others will come and join me,” he said.

Jones has long said he has no plans to resign.
