How would the media act if Rob Gronkowski was a black man from Compton named Romeo

[Broke Wave]

That's my TE tho

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Are u white?

do you lift ?

 

[Ronnie Lott]

do you lift ?

Yeah why

Do u

 

[JahBuhLun]

Are u white?

I'm blacker than a blink:
But back to the original point; it's never going to be a fair media depiction of any Blacks in our society. Vick went to jail for fighting and killing dogs, if a Brady or Manning fought pit bulls, they wouldn't do a day in jail, the media would talk about their killer mindset on the football field. The Black athlete has to know that he can't act in the same way as the white athlete and expect fair treatment. Until there is a BESPN; or (BlackESPN for clarification).

We see what they are doing to Cam, but Matt Cassel gets a pass, Carson Palmer gets a pass.

Got no probs with gronk. Hes not being a cocky a$$hole about it. It's usually the black athletes that are cocky and not acting like silly white boys. Be real, some whites are intimidated by confident, show off-y black men, and in turn love to criticize when the opportunity arizes.

See, this is why black posters bring up race sometimes. It's people like you who stereotype us and hold us to a higher standard. Cam Newton is getting shytting on right now for being mad about losing. Let that be any white player and it would be no issue and because he is so passionate.

Who is "us"?


And you're talking about 2 complete different scenarios and attitudes.

If you are asking this, I am pretty sure you are not black.

If he were Black the American media would make him out to be the most unpredictable, frightening muhfukka in sports.

 

[Raquinotj]

You can't tell me he wouldn't be getting shytted on 24/7 by the media.

E:60 - Rob Gronkowski - YouTube

I got no problem with Gronk, seems like a cool dude....but I cant disagree with you. You're right. shyts fukked up.

cant disagree

I think I said the earlier in the season. I like Gronk a lot too, but the reactions would be different if he was by the media.

Very true....remember when the media was killing Chad about twitter when he was a Patriot and how they tried to manufacture reasons for the Randy Moss trade to Minnesota. There was no evidence of him doing anything wrong but they tried to create the whole "locker room issues" story. They couldn't accept that he was getting older and the Pats just wanted to deal him before he lost all his value.

Unless Gronk gets a police record, then it's just a top tier TE having fun and acting goofy. Just like most typical white dudes in their 20's. It's usually Black athlete's people, that gets the athlete in trouble more times than not.

I literally can't stand this jackass.

And yes, if he was black, he'd be crucified by the media, but he's a white guy so he is just "The Gronk"

Him being white AND a Patriot has protected him from a lot of criticism. Dude is the quintessential frat a$$hole. I don't know for sure but he seems like someone that went to Arizona State or some shyt.

Yeah like T.O. huh and his criminal record.

At least Gronk didnt get caught with an unlisenced gun, didnt slap up his mother, didnt pay to get his pregnant girlfriend murdered, didnt beat up his girlfriend, didnt set up a drug deal with an undercover cop, didnt act divalish towards a police officer or didnt get into a fight at a nightclub or called out his teammates in the media... can one of you fukks tell me what black athlete has been crucified by the media for doing things equal or similar to Gronkowski and dont say Ochocinco cuz this nikka was a fukking diva getting fined and acting all stupid calling out his team mates and being disrespectful to his peers. Gronkowski does everything he does without disrespecting or breaking the law. Playing the race card here doesnt work.


Yeah, TO with his ME First locker room cancer like attitude calling out his teamates in public was ok, thats what gronk is doing now, tell how this two are equal... lol Funny ass nikka.

Dante Stallworth drove drunk and Killed an harworking construction crane operator who was trying to catch a bus home after finishing his shift around 7:15 a.m. and got only got 30 days in jail and is back in the league, media doesnt really care about that, Leonard Little drunk driving killed a woman and got away with probation and was right back on the league, got caught AGAIN drunk driving and got two more years of PROBATION. GTFOH with that white black bullshyt bullshyt.

I said this last year after the porno chick wearing his jersey AND him partying after the SB.

It's just "Gronk being Gronk"

And the excuse is, "well, Gronk just seems like a cool guy you'd go out and have a beer with"

 

[Sinnerman]

so true. but I know like 20 white people like that, I agree with the person who said he was the typical fratboy

 

[Trip]

He's the best player in the sport at his position he can do whatever he wants. LT was blowing lines and New York loved him because he backed it up on the field.

This thread is all over the place.

How is that breaking any laws? is he not allowed to fukk? why should the media get invoilved in this and who are we or the media to crucify this man for dating a porn star? how many athletes you think are dating strippers or gotten a not so nice girl pregnant and video hoes and the media doesnt give a flying fukk unless the chick goes and spills the beans on them and acts ratchet.. The SB After party was planned by the team before the game and continued as planned, in spite of the loss, even the Pats OWNER was in that party along with other patriots players, he was devastated but life goes on, what did u want him to do commit suicide?
