 * June 13, 2015

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. It
also led Romo, who promoted the event, and other players, like his teammate Dez
Bryant, who had planned to attend, to call the N.F.L. greedy and jealous.

“It’s like when you’re in high school and you don’t get invited to the party, it
makes you feel bad,” Romo told “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” on ESPN Radio. “If
they really wanted to just be a part of it, all they had to do was just call and
ask.”

The N.F.L. insists that it has no problem with fantasy football, which it has
embraced. Rather, it wants to preserve the integrity of its game.

After the league clarified its rules, Bo Brownstein, the founder of the Fantasy
Sports Combine, which will hold its own event next month in Las Vegas, removed
several players, including Brandon Marshall and Von Miller, from its program.
