It's a chicken and egg thing, is he voicing the opinon of the non-fan, or do non-fans have their opinons because of assholes like Rome?

Truthfully, I don't think non-fans care enough to have such a passionate opinion. Rome has the power to reach a lot of people. A little humanity is expected.

I wouldn't pay any mind to Rome. The dude is one of the most wooden personalities with a show out there today. Him trying to drop jokes into every piece of news is painful, since his vocal range is non-existent. He comes off like he's just reading a card and not aware that he's supposed to be telling something humorous.
