Tony Romo's heritage....?

Is it fair to call him a Mexican?

In an ESPN blog it says, 'part of his ethnicity is Hispanic. Even though Romo grew up in Wisconsin and doesn't speak much Spanish, his grandparents are natives of Mexico.'

It gets more and more annoying everytime his Mex Ameri GROUPIE asks a question. So this is mine. Is he really considered Mexican if he barely knows his own language or heritage, and isn't it about time we stop adding things to American to try and separate ourselves? Plus Romo has proven nothing in the NFL and if I were Mexican I'd be going for Sanchez who has a much bigger upside as far as a future in the NFL.

    I agree. Tony Romo is only part Mexican; however his full name is Antonio Ramiro Romo. (His mother is white).

    I guess bringing up (half of) his heritage just makes for good media stories. I know for a fact there are many Hispanic Cowboys fans that see Romo as a hero.

    BQ: I have to say Cowboys in a narrow 31-28 game; but of course I'm a Cowboys fan. I always get nervous when Dallas goes up to Philly; to me it's the hardest place to win in the NFL.

    He's not mexican. He's Mexican American. Romo was born in the U. S.

    Tell me one QB that proved a lot in his 3rd year starting??? Are u a moron??

    Sanchez will never be as good as Romo. Romo needs to win big games but Romo is the 3rd highest Rated QB in NFl history minimum 1500 attempts, just behind P. Manning and S. Young.

    BTW im gonna be laughing when dallas beats the eagles

    I never knew or cared what his ethnicity is, his groupie does get annoying with all that as well.

    The truth is that 90% of people living in the US aren't more than 3 generations removed from relatives born in other countries. That stat is true for NFL players as well.

    EDIT: I think the Cowboys win, the Eagles have been inconsistent and the Cowboys offense has been explosive with the emergence of Miles Austin.

    Cowboys win 35-31

    1. How has he denied it? 2. Who cares? 3. My heritage is Native American, I don't wear a T-shirt that says I am. That must mean I'm denying my heritage too yeah?
