As the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, Tony Romo is a lightning rod for many things, starting with his team’s inability to make it to the Super Bowl, and the pop stars he has dated.
The N.F.L. thrust him deeper into the spotlight this month when it reiterated its rules that prohibit players from taking part in events that are held at or are sponsored by casinos.
This led the National Fantasy Football Convention to cancel an event it planned to hold in July at a convention center attached to a casino in Las Vegas.
