Dallas Cowboys fans warned against showing team colors at polls

[Champ]

ARLINGTON, Texas -- A warning to Dallas Cowboys fans who plan to vote in this North Texas city: Leave your team colors at home.

Polling places are no place for fan gear, election officials say.

Elections Administrator Robert Parten said Monday that anyone sporting a Cowboys logo at an Arlington voting site will be told to cover up their allegiance to the team if they want to cast a ballot.

He said he ordered the prohibition because of a provision on the Arlington ballot that asks whether taxpayers should help pay for a $650 million Cowboys stadium in their city.

"Anytime you go into a polling place and what you're wearing shows something that's on the ballot, that's electioneering," Gayle Hamilton, assistant elections administrator for Tarrant County, said.

1. Good

I fucking hate the Cowboys!

[Sannum]

2. I voted against the damn stadium

We have a stadium for the shitty Rangers thanks to * and his under the table deals, taxes are so high there, and we do not need the stadium. The place is landlocked! Thank God I moved.

The Cowboys Suck--To quote the wise Hank Hill:

"Peggy, you're not going to Dallas. That town has nothing but drug addicts and sex offenders. And that's just the football team!"

3. Since when do Taxans get to vote on stadium deals?

Hell when W was the (insert meaningless title) of the Rangers they took 750 acres from FARMERS and home owners when they needed 17.

This must be new.
