They've been called America's team since 1978 and were first referred to as that by the current VP of NFL Films
In 1979 during their game vs. the Cardinals the CBS Announcer referred to them as America's Team
They are also #1 in the NFL for franchise value passing every other team by leaps and bounds at $1.5 billion. This gives credence to the fact they probably have the largest fan following of any NFL franchise.
Really though, "America's Team" is a 30+ year old tradition....you should let it go
