Watch as the Sports World Falls Over Itself to Call Tony Romo Classy

Tony Romo stepped aside as starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, not like he really had a choice in the matter, but it was a strange sight in the hyper-competitive world of sports. As you might expect, Romo was pretty bummed out about the whole thing, but he took one for the team and many in the sports world pitched proverbial tents at what a classy move it was on Romo's part. What does classy even mean? I don't know! But let's look at all the class.

Here we have the classy tweet, with a touch of detached irony.

Btw Tony Romo classy af.

Or how about the classy tweet with some weird Canadian references I don't know/care about?

Much like @TravisLulay did with @JJ_Jennings10, Tony Romo promises to help Dak Prescott as #Cowboys new starter. Classy, gets it, a real pro

Classy concessions ONLY:

#Romo gave a classy concession speech for the moment, not a final retirement speech forever.

Whatever the fuck this is:

Tony. Romo. Not sure I've ever seen anything as CLASSY as what he just did & HOW he just did it. @tonyromo chose the #HarderRight #RESPECT

Romo's raw classiness is off the guts charts:

Tony Romo's prepared statement is so classy and so raw. I can't even imagine how gutted he is. As much as I love Dak, I HATE this for Tony.

This classy tweet is so smug it makes you want to punch yourself in the face, friends:

Just watched Tony Romo's presser. That's called class, friends. Total team player. Bottom line. As a Cowboys fan, I say … thanks, Tony.

Tony Romo seems like a nice guy, who did a thing that might help his team, or at the least not actively destroy it. Let's think of different words, or anyway, words with actual meanings instead of "class" and "classy," yeah? Maybe like "nice," or "helpful."
