Fans from other teams called Romo, Homo and thought it was the wittiest things.

Get over it.

At least his name isn't B. Hussein Obama.

Seriously, get over it. It's a joke. It's not racism (as Hypnotoad had implied before his edit). There are a lot worse things in the world than jokes that you don't find humorous.

I might find it humorous if it weren't something an eight year old could come up with at a moment's notice.

To me, some things an 8 year old could come up with are funny. Some aren't. It's humor -- not a socio-economic policy discussion.

Fair enough.

But obviously, the racism angle can't be ignored. It's not a big deal, but I can see someone not knowing a thing about this young man and holding his name against him.

I'd be more worried about the idiot that actually held such a belief than the effect he would have on society.

You won't be laughing when he becomes your next president.

I edited my post because I didn't want people to get aggressive. This type of debate brings up alot of emotion, and I don't want to go there. But yes, calling someone a terrorist because of their name is racist. Some posts are funny, about the ministry of misinformation and the goat---great stuff had me rofloling.

I think the connection was made because his name closely resembles a (the most) famous terrorist, not because of race. I seriously cannot distinguish how you would think his post is racist and the goat/minister of defense post is not.

You can replace the name in that goat/minister post with anyones name and it will still be funny. Young wasnt being attacked, noone was called a terrorist because of their name. Posts like "Usama? great, now were gonna have a terrorist playing cornerback" or "dude needs to change his name." are offensive. I really don't want to debate this more.

Congrats, you win.

Exactly.

And yes, the goat post was genius.

How about getting back to the topic of the thread.
