Cowboys QB Tony Romo takes a shot at the NFL for denying him right to hold convention
Tony Romo is upset that the NFL denie
d him the opportunity to hold a Fantasy Football convention in a Casino. The convention was set to be held at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, and the NFL claimed in a letter to the NFLPA that Sands’ holdings made that akin to supporting gambling. Well the gunslinger is now taking shots at the NFL for their decision.
“They talk about how no players or NFL personnel are to be associated [with s], well, I’m like, that doesn’t really make sense,” Romo said on ESPN Radio with Colin Cowherd. “There’s just far too many cases and it does make it sound sometimes that it’s an issue about money, which is disappointing because we were just trying to get the fans to hang out with players.”
“It’s like when you’re in high school and you don’t get invited to the party, it makes you feel bad,” Romo said. “If they really wanted to just be a part of it, all they had to do was call and ask. It would have been a lot easier than going about the process the way they did.”
