People can function perfectly well without asthma. My brother has it, plays football, and he's fine. It's just treatment and conditioning.

But certain conditions, like the high altitude, can aggravate it, and that is what apparently happened with Roy Williams.

Just because you have asthma does not mean you're an invalid. Geeze.

if he said he has asthma twice, then he probably does

it depends on how severe it is, cuz I have a mild case of asthma, and it didn't preclude me from playing basketball and running track in high school

If Roy Williams isn't a fit for this team, I don't know who is.

yeah but you don't pay an athlete who is required to run a lot and use his lungs more than an average person 45 million if his asthma can have a bad affect on his play like today. the Dave Campo days are not far away.

I hope anyone that makes fun of asthma somehow suffers a collapsed lung within 1 minute of doing so.

I completely agree. These people are ridiculous.

Jerome Bettis ran for about 12,000 yards with asthma. He used to hate going to Miami or Jax early in the season because of it, so I don't think he had mild asthma.

Yes he has asthma.....but I do not know the severity. I know when the Horns had to play in Colorado, it was tough on him.

BTW, that play where Romo almost got him killed, was not good at all for an asthmatic. I do not have asthma, but I am going to assume that getting the wind knocked out of you, has to be much harder on someone with ashtma, than someone without....especially in high altitude areas.

Honestly, there were times our WRs could not get open.....but there were times when our WRs were wide open. Romo was way off today. He was high and behind, just like in the Giants game. He almost got Roy, Crayton, and Hurd killed today with some of those throws.

Romo has had problems throwing in Denver before. Remember when we went there and practiced with them? He was overthrowing everything. Same thing in that preseason game. And Romo doesn't traditionally overthrow stuff.

nobody is making fun of it. it's just stupid to give an athlete who's not even an elite athlete 45 million who also has trouble breathing.

now that was funny, maybe you can be a comedian when you grow up. I haven't used one since I was in junior high, but I remember how horrible it was to need one.
