Cowboys choose a rather unfortunate hashtag to promote U.K. trip
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.

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.
