Tony Romo Was Told Not To Speak About His Faith Publicly, So He Does THIS Instead Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has been relatively quiet about his faith in God, and his tendency to pray both before and after games. Perhaps this is due to the pressure that NFL players face to remain neutral. Now, the NFL star claims that he is a football player, a husband, and a soon to be father who now recognizes that platform hes been given to share his faith. I think one of the most important things youre going to do in your life is hopefully be the spiritual leader of your family, Romo told reporters. Im far from perfect. I know that. Every day is a battle to try and become the person that you want to be. Having the faith that I have allows me to believe that I can continue to grow as a person. The grace Ive received from the Lord and Jesus allows you to keep trying to get better. Romo claims that he does not associate himself with any one denomination, but rather refers to himself as a believer in Jesus Christ and a Christian. Romo tries to attend the 5 PM Saturday service at his church when the Cowboys are at home during the season. I cant imagine anything that sparks more debate than religion, Romo told reporters. A close second would be politics. Sports is up there somewhere. You dont stand a chance if you dont believe in something bigger than yourself, Romo concluded. There are too many ups and downs that go with playing quarterback in the National Football League. What do you think? Do you support Romo speaking up about his Christianity?
