If Romo & Cutler were black....

[William Bassington]

Of course, look at Vick. Prime example.

Vick got multiple opportunities, and will likely get another this off-season...

To be fair, Cutler has already been jettisoned from one team, and been shytted on in the media for his play with the other.

The Romo shyt is inexplicable, but so is the media obsession with the Cowboys in general.

If they were black there'd be a couple Romo DA GAWD and Jay GAWDLER threads on the front page for sure.

Let's be real, if these 2 guys were black they`d both be off their teams.

They fail so often and usually in the biggest of moments, I can't help but think they`d be done for in their respective cities.

But Romo still gets this pass, heard it on TV this morning "Hey Peyton took a long time to win the big games too" Romo is going on fukking 33.

Ahead of those guys Alex Smith has been the biggest benefactor of white privilege.

Romo would still be starting if he was black. You act as if dude doesn't get severely criticized. Cutler would probably be in more trouble but I think he'd start.

*reads thread title*

*looks at username of thread-starter*

*is confused*

*reads original post expecting.... something else*

*still confused*

This feels like a trap.

Only if you are white and ignore the racial undertones involved.

That's my whole point, black players get a lot more scrutiny than whites do, especially QB's.

Now imagine these 2 fukkups if they were Jerome Cutler and Antione Romo.

That'd be tough to imagine being that both of them would be 2nd string somewhere or out of the league.

He's Antonio Romo, people choose to see him as white.

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

Well he also looks pretty damn white.

And he doesn't go by Antonio either.

 

[OG Talk]

I don't know... But the way Collinsworth and Costas were copping pleas for him after the game was cringe worthy...


You'll never see a QB like Vick, VY and Cam throw for 3 ints and the first thought/words out of everyones minds is

"You gotta feel so bad for the guy. This is gonna weigh heavy on his mind"


I thought they were gonna leave the booth and run down and give him a hug...

But no one calls him it either, it is his name

I think front offices /coaches are worried about one thing and thats saving their damn job and own a-ss the idea someone would sabotage their job because of the skin color of a qb makes no sense..most of these personnel guys/coaches/gm's are just inept..

Also keep our white people problems in house

LOL I think front offices let local sports talk hosts and local inhabitants have too much influence.
Like a poster said compare Chris and Al's remarks on Romo to another struggling QB for example

 

[Trip]

If you're the Cowboys who else do you start? You just have to hope he doesn't fukk up.... He's too good to part ways with
