After Panthers quarterback Cam Newton aburptly walked out on his
postgame press conference, Romanowski tweeted: “You will never
last in the NFL with that attitude. The world doesn’t revolve
around you, boy!”
Romanowski’s use of the word “boy” — a racially inflammatory
term — was met with heavy criticism, including from some African-
American athletes.
Chad “Ocho Cinco” Johnson tweeted at Romanowksi, “Boy? You never
watched Good Times Bill?”
Former Giant Terrell Thomas tweeted, “Bold don’t you think lol,
Boy?”
Former Bengals cornerback Rico Murray added, “Cam needs to bite
the bullet and take what’s coming. But @billromanowksi is a
disgrace.”
Romanowski quickly tried to backtrack on his tweet, by deleting
it and apologizing.
“Calm down everyone! I meant he needs to grow up!” Romanowski
tweeted.
“I apologize for that remark 'boy'. It was not intentional or
even trying to disrespect others. Peace everyone.”
