He just got slammed by a late hit.

So what?

I see QBs bitch about that on 80% of the plays where they get touched.

If he's pouting on the sideline, then yes, he's acting like a "boy"

If he runs around like an idiot only when his team is winning? yup, boy.

Walks out of his PC. yup, boy.

If a black player had said this....

I like how you added the "little" part in there to try to take away from the racist remark.

Fixed.
Doesn't change anything, including your need to see racism or not address the points.

Just getting back to reading through this thread, and I gave Romanowski the benefit of the doubt. Yes, I am aware that the word 'boy' has been used in a derogatory manner when referring to black men. But my own personal experience, more specifically where I currently work led me to believe otherwise.

Two supervisors who work for me are black, and they have both white and black people in their departments. They continuously refer to young men of both colors as 'boy'; e.g. "That boy thinks he's getting a raise" or "That boy is always late to work". I've never heard them use the term ni**er, ever, so that is why never really thought of it as purely a racist term. Frankly the word seemed antiquated to me. My grandfather told me he was repeatedly referred to as a 'Donkey' for years after he immigrated (and it made his blood boil), but who refers to the Irish as Donkeys now?

Yup, Romanowski is a certifiable asshat but I don't believe he intended for the word 'boy' to be racist. He most likely shot his mouth off without much forethought (shocking), and gave SJWs a chance to lambaste him on the internet.

That really sums up my thoughts on this as well.

Everyone knows Romo is a POS.

Why thread about it?...

Was Beyoncé halftime performance considered racist...???

When you act like a child you might get called one.

BigCatDaddy · 02-08-2016, 11:44 AM

I for one could never imagine Bill Romanowski using any type of slur of another human being based on race, gender, or disability. Next you will try to tell me Frazod would use such remarks as well.

I'll call Cam a Boy. Cam is a boy. He plays football like a boy. Eager to begin and quick to finish.
