Dan Le Batard Wonders If Rob Gronkowski Would Be "Universally Beloved" If He Were Black

[NYC Rebel]

Not sure why you're asking me that question? Didn't imply it "changed" anything.

What's the use of giving this so much attention then if it's not being used as a counter argument to what the thread is about?

Point is...i showed you how the one you're pointing out brings zero value to this thread. It should have ended there

Biggest producer for the Hawks came into this game bashed over and over again.

I know you badly want to beleive white folks are fair and balanced when it comes to blacks but they are often not.

Lynch and Gronk are two entirely different personalities. Plus the fans opinion of Lynch is entirely different than the medias is. The fans seem to love beast mode.

In the op they discuss players comparable to Gronk, I was opining about another one. Thanks for pointing out that my post brought zero value to this thread lol you're now guilty of the same thing you ripped Trip for.

They both act completely different towards the media though so how are they comparable? If Gronk did the same shyt Marshawn did he would be just as vilified imo

 

[Blackout]

Only if he was a c00n

 

[TheSpook]

What a dumb question.

The GOAT TE. He puts Mark Madsen to shame with these moves. No athete outside of maybe Mike Trout Getting PAWGS throwing that pink lips box at em.

Doubt it, in general white athletes don't get vilified like that. Edelman was popping a lot of ish after the Super Bowl, and Welker was always a bit of jerk, didn't really see them get called out for it.

If Gronk were black you'd be calling him a c00n

You don't know what the fukk I be think fukker. I'd have no problem if this was a black athlete just like I have no problem with what Gronk does, but your people's hypocrisy and double standards need to be called out.

If Gronk were black, chugging beers on a float and dancing while thousands of white patriot fans cheer him on, you'd undoubtedly be calling him a c00n and a sellout.

And you have a Gaddafi avatar

We know what SAS would say

I don't mind his antics. Dude is having fun out there.

Same here, he is one of the few that is having fun with fame/celebrity and not acting like its some sort of unfair punishment, but he will get his backlash soon, no one can escape it.

None of us mind the antics honestly. We just know who would mind if he were black doing those things though.

AND?
They would embrace anyone who acts like Gronk who produces.. it goes both ways regardless of race

Nope. And THAT'S where the problem is.

A black athlete still has a shorter leash of what he can do in the public eye.

You gonna tel me there's no Black athletes w/ Gronks mindset? Of course there are, but they know better. They can't take pics w/ porn stars or joke about not even reading in college.

I'm hot hatin on Gronk, but let's just call a spade a spade.
