Why does everyone hate Tony Romo?

Question

He has shown great poise at QB but everyone keeps giving him a hard time. Im really sick of it and cant take much more. this dude is so nice yall need to layoff and respect him. no one gave Mike Tyson this much c**p and he raped a chick while high on cocaine!

Answer 1

Well, I'm not exactly sure.. Maybe it's cause the cowboys are(or WERE) at one time "America's team(they looked real good<yeah RIGHT!> getting beat down BAD by the S A N  D I E G O  S U P E R C H A R G E R S!! AND MAYBE CAUSE HE'S DATING jESSICA sIMPSON..?

  

Answer 2

They hate him by association ... his association with Jessica Simpson!!

Answer 3

I <3 tony romo!!

Answer 4

Because he came out of nowhere.  People hate success, they hate repetitive success more, and they hate quick success even more (see: Tom Brady).  

Tony Romo has more shortcomings than Brady, so people tend to use that for ammunition.

Plus he's always smiling and having fun.  People hate that, too for some reason.

I live close to EIU so I love Romo.

Answer 5

Success breeds hate my friend and yes he hasn't done much in the playoffs but that will be a thing of the past. He has broken so many Cowboys records in his first full year as a starter yet people continue to say he's overrated. And then because the guy doesn't let people get to him and keeps a smile on his face Ohhhh he is sooo cocky-Please. And they are such genius' to come up with the name Tony Homo how clever. Whatever all I know is he is the best QB Dallas has seen since Aikman and you know what I'll take him.

Answer 6

I think it's because he has failed to get the job done during the Playoffs.  He's great when the Cowboys play overmatched teams, but 0-2 in the Playoffs is the only thing that matters.

Maybe if he could win one playoff game, he might get some credit.

Answer 7

I agree, its a team game its called the Cowboys not the Romos. And anyone who thinks Tony sucks: go look at his stats. hes 2/2 pro bowl years

Answer 8

Not everyone hates him. Cowboys haters hate thim.. why? Well lets see.. he is one of the best Qbs in football, he dates the hottest women, he is rich as h**l, he plays for a team that is widley disliked... those are the main reasons he is hated. And lets not forget another thing. Romo is a happy guy. He smiles, he has fun, ect ect. Many people just cant stand that because their own lives are so pathetic.

You should take it as a compliment. In sports, the more hated a player is, ussualy the better they are. TO, Moss, A-rod, Jeter, Brady, ect ect. All hater players-- all great players. Its called jealousy.

As far as Tyson--thats boxing. Its a violent sport to begin with . Therefore people kind of expect some of them to be a little crazy. But I can tell you he is much more hated then romo, and so is Vick. By Alot.

Answer 9

I don't hate him either.

I agree with another poster, people don't like success stories, or sometimes even like to begrudge others of their happiness! & I really don't get how who he is dating has anything to do with how he plays football. As long as he is doing his job & doing it well, it shouldn't matter.  

Answer 10

Small minded people are jealous of what others have, can do, looks on and on. It eats them up they will use words that don't make sense (example) I hate him because he chokes, I hate him because he has not won a playoff. lol Now you honestly tell me why would some one hate a player that is not of their team that looses ? if anything they would be happy because he won't be whipping up on his team. It is an idiotic excuse, do you think I care what kind of loser any other team has he means nothing to me. It is fear and jealousy and any one of them would take him in a heartbeat if his team could get him. They get so desperate they compare a rookie to Brady and Payton is that crazy or what lol  And you tell them go do some research on all three and take a look at their stats and Romo has already done better in his rookie years than a lot of them and equal to some. Romo is dedicated the Cowboys went to a I believe charity function and they were to play Basketball. Crayon said Romo walks in with a football and wanted to throw passes lol Crayton said NO Romo I am not catching any passes its off season. They even want to have a say in who he dates stupiest c**p I ever heard. Talk football and leave this mans personal life along he still has her so he must be doing something right.   (She has her own money haters)  Romolicious is a Cowboy bomb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ********************************

Answer 11

People give athletes who date celebrities a hard time. Look at Reggie Bush and Kim K.  

Answer 12

I couldn't agree more.  Hopefully this year, Romo will silence his critics!!!

If you like fantasy football, then you might get a kick out of this too. It's a little different but it's simple and fun. At least try this. Just click on the link...

Answer 13

Romo is alright with me....I wouldn't mind my team having to play against him in the playoffs or Super Bowl...cough cough.

Answer 14

Wow where to start. We are fed a steady diet of Romo because he is the Cowboys QB. He isn't great, he has great games yes but has terrible games as well. He is overrated. As to Tyson he says it wasn't rape. She was a Miss America and he was a violent Black man, maybe he is telling the truth. Tyson picked up a girl at a bar at like 1 or 2 in the morning. He invited her back to his hotel room. In the least cut him the slack that she had to be way too naive to not think he wanted s*x. Now where did the whole cocaine thing come up? Maybe I just forgot that part, but don't think an issue was really made of it.  

Answer 15

im not sure but im a patriots fan so i know about criticism and he doesnt deserve it i think it stems from 1 him being undrafted and 2 him losing 2 of his last 2 playoff games but hes definitly shown he has what it takes to be in the superbows and be in charge of a nfl team

Answer 16

Because he is a flamer and a cowboy.  

Answer 17

I'd Say mostly Because he's a Dallas Cowboy. IT's convenient to accuse him of being g*y because his last name provides consonance to the root word for homosexual. He's actually one of the Highest rated QB's in the NFL. People often hate someone or something that is better that what they have out of jealousy.
