During the four hours of talking at one point he started a sentence. Something along the lines of "There were 3 n-, 3 players ready to tackle that guy." The action he was highlighting was 3 Bengal players converged on the Niner's ball carrier. The most likely probability was he was about to say "There were 3 niners," being a professional he caught himself rather than misspeak and say the wrong team's name he stopped himself and proceeded using the correct team names for the action on the field.
Much ado about nothing but what the heck let's get some clickbait while undeservedly bringing a person's reputation into question for something that never even almost happened.
Pandering to the need for attention with this subject does nothing to further the ACTUAL reduction of racism that exists. Neither CBS nor Romo should comment on this situation because it is fucking ridiculous to pretend that anything might of, could of, almost maybe in my most cynical thought processes didn't fucking happen!
I am very disappointed this nothing of an incident has sullied the pages of DU. Find me a scintilla of a hint of the possibility that Romo has spoken in this way, even though he most absolutely did not in the pathetic clickbait used here, and I'll be on board condemning him.
I don't like Romo as an announcer. I didn't really like him as a quarterback but to jump on the band wagon to smear him is cheap. There are real issues surrounding racism but this is not one of them.
