Bryant blasts NFL for canceling Romo's fantasy football event

Over the weekend, Tony Romo was forced to cancel a fantasy football event he had scheduled for July 10-12 in Las Vegas when the NFL reiterated a policy about not hosting events that are associated with casinos.

This did not please Dez Bryant.

Romo’s event was supposed to be held at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, which prompted the NFL to remind the NFL Players Association on Saturday of its gambling policy. According to The Associated Press, organizers for Romo’s event said the cancellation was a “direct result of sudden and unexpected opposition taken by the NFL concerning player participation and their perceived association with gambling for an event in Las Vegas.
