Rob Gronkwoski hasnt spent a dime of his NFL contract money at all. ..But peep what he said

[JBoy]

tell em why you mad breh.

can't be mad at a multi millionaire who only goes to Buffalo Wild Wings on wing night

 

[Geek Nasty]

would you rather him take the Jay-Z approach and remind you about how poor you are for 15 straight years?

how you mad at a dude with money, that's still into the shyt that average dudes do?

Those aren't the only two choices. Most people I know w/ money aren't pretending to be poor *or* rubbing it in your face.

 

[Cabbage Patch]

TheColi hasn't scrutinized the bolded yet. I'm surprised

My major scrutiny: that's easy. So I'll go for the minor scrutiny: wonder why he din't mention women.

 

[CrimsonTider]

Taking a trip to Africa isn't an egregiously irresponsible use of money dude....that isn't what gronk is talking about

None of what gronk said is why athletes go broke

 

[Virtual Ninja]

Obvious cism. This the problem with white people though, he probably wasn't even trying to be racist, the shyt is just sub conscious. He doesn't even have the awareness to word the shyt differently because he doesn't understand how people could take it the wrong way.

It is what it is though. White people gon' white people.

Yeah cause white dudes never buy expensive cars, jewelry and never get tattoos.

He specifically pointed out cars, jewelry and tattoos

I'm not saying gronk is racist but he's definitely stereotyping the black athlete, unnecessarily

Yeah because white dudes NEVER get tattoos, buy expensive cars and clothes.

Wtf does that have to do with being fiscally responsible? So you grew up poor now you need to buy every depreciating luxury good once you got money?

the problem is not the need... the problem is the miseducation of the wants


yea 10 year olds want lamborghinis... rich and poor

now while the rich or well off kid is looking at his dad, and his dad tells him that's not smart, and what to invest in, and how to buy art, or vintage cars that will make money... and his friends learn these lessons, and the people in the neighborhood know these things... and it's instilled since young how to keep money and make money work for you...................


the other kid isn't learning shyt... every dollar he gets, he has to spend to live... he wouldn't ask what to do with 50k, let alone 50 million, and nobody he associates with would have any idea what to do with it either.... he gets the money, and here's some rich white guys saying "give it to me, i'll make double, but you can't touch it"

he don't know who's a scam, who's real, what's stock, bonds, IRA's, but MOST important... FRIENDS AND FAMILY


when your family is already doing ok, you don't have to take care of them... when you grew up broke, you "have" to take care of family... i mean mom and dad and little brother and sister need a new house... and how you gonna let them work... and your boys who was with you sine pre school, they need houses, and cars..... your cousin wants to open a label... your uncle wants to open a shop

you never see the money running out.. you don' tthink about the injury... shyt you not even adding all this up correctly... you barely went to class





that's what happens more often than not... think abou tit... if i bought 10 lambos... i could still sell them later and be ok... but if i bought 10 family members a house... i'm more fukked than those lambos easy

White privilege

:wtface:

nikkas on this site be trying to find racism in someone discussing their own fiscal spending

 

[Rigby.]

He specifically pointed out cars, jewelry and tattoos

I'm not saying gronk is racist but he's definitely stereotyping the black athlete, unnecessarily

...or some of the most common shyt people blow money on for no reason

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I. If you think Gronk wrote a book, I have a bridge in Brooklyn, a freezer in Antarctica, and a Black Privilege Pass to sell you. As someone who has done ghostwriting, and who knows several people who ghostwrite novels and memoirs, I assure you Gronk never even read his own book.

 

[MF budz]

Good for him. A football player who is smart. fukkin top notch hoes while on a budget. While most dudes trying to spend 5-15k in the club to impress ppl.

 

[FreshAIG]

Money going money coming ain't like you can take it with you

Silly way of thinking, it can't go with you but you can leave it for your family and friends.

 

[n00bsauce]

When, you grow up with (White or Middle/Upper class) privilege.
You don't get to criticize people.
who don't come from your same privilege.
This whole piece is a blatant attack piece.

"To this day, I still haven’t touched one dime of my signing bonus or NFL contract money. I live off my marketing money and haven’t blown it on any big-money expensive cars, expensive jewelry or tattoos and still wear my favorite pair of jeans from high school."

Choose one that best fits this quote because I don't see the criticism. If anything, it's a shot on people who have money managing practices in the NFL. Maybe I'm not cynical enough. Maybe it's my middle class privilege that can relate (that's a serious statement too)

It is what it is though. White people gon' white people.

Black athletes aren't the only ones that do stupid stuff with their cash. Matter of fact, 75% of players are broke 4 years after retirement.

 

[MF budz]

Not even a black problem. It's an entertainment problem where if you ain't the big dog you can't really spend like that even though you think you can. That's like Kellen Moore thinking he has the same money as Matt stafford(example) guys shouldn't try to be competitive with money.
