Even Texans don’t want Tony Romo around.
Believing the Cowboys quarterback is cursed, one San Antonio Spurs fan petitioned the White House to keep Romo from attending the team’s playoff games.
The Romo Curse isn’t limited to his numerous failings on the field in clutch moments. Romo also is getting heat for attending home games of the Dallas Mavericks and Stars, with both teams exiting the postseason shortly after (the petition fails to mention both were heavy underdogs).
He also attended Game 6 of the Clippers-Thunder series in Los Angeles, where the home team suffered a season-ending loss. Duke, Wisconsin and SMU basketball fans additionally made claims that Romo has doomed their teams this past season.
Here is the petition, which was filed Friday, according to ProjectSpurs.com:
Tony Romo hasn’t been a good luck charm for the Dallas Cowboys. In fact he has been somewhat of a curse in Dallas and for any home sports team he watches from the stands. This is well documented. Just ask Duke, Clippers, Dallas Stars, Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Mavericks even the TNT show Dallas. Here in San Antonio we want our Spurs to win the entire enchilada. Tony Romo will only bring his curse into the AT&T Center and his mojo will make the Spurs lose. In fact we should send him into Russia. That Putin mess would be so over. Please America let’s stand together and stop the Tony Romo curse. Go Spurs go!
The petition didn’t have enough signatures to receive an official response from the White House.
