Nov. 04--The Dallas Cowboys have a lot of fans. They also have a lot of haters.
While trying to get the former group excited about the team's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London this weekend, someone in the Cowboys organization inadvertently came up with a rallying cry for the latter group.
See for yourself. Pay close attention to the end of the #CowboysUK hashtag, which has appeared in more than two dozen tweets sent out by the Cowboys in the last 24 hours:

Um, yeah. Needless to say, all those haters out there have been having a blast at the Cowboys' expense:

I love the #CowboysUK hashtag. As an Eagles fan, I think it's spot on.

At least they can finally admit it. #CowboysUK

And on and on it goes. The Cowboys finally seem to have caught on, with their most recent three tweets being sent from London without the unfortunate hashtag. Maybe they should have followed the lead of their cheerleaders, who are using a much more sensible hashtag to promote the trip.
