So Rob Gronkowski can have a party boat but the Minnesota Vikings couldn't?

I hear on some points, but the bolded makes the opposing argument.

How often do you hear Gronk get called unintelligent or stupid? I never hear it. They just chalk it up to Gronk being Gronk. Fun-loving, boyish, immature maybe, but never stupid or remedial.



But let a nikka tell the world he hasn't read a book since 9th grade... :martin:
Gronk's much like Marshawn in that aspect. They play as being dumb but anyone halfway paying attention sees that they're using the media to create a name off the field. If Gronk wasn't a "party boy" and just handed the ball to the ref after he scored like like Warrick Dunn or someone, NO ONE would care about him. No party boat money, no endorsements, etc.

Gronk like Marshawn, TO, Chad, Peyton, etc. has effectively made himself bigger than the logo and helmet he plays under. That's something most NFLers will never have the luxury of saying.

How many Superbowls will Cam have to get to, for White people to not care about him dabbing?

Give me a specific number of Superbowls that Cam will have to win in order for him to be able to throw a raunchy cruise, and it be laughed off....

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I think there very might be a certain angle at play, when it comes to their love for Gronk's shenanigans, and their dislike of Cam...

Honestly I think a lot of it has to do what positions they play.

Compare Gronk to any other postion player and no one is really getting any negative press for the same shenanigans though.

You make great points. Gronk is basically a White c00n. Not c00n in the since of betraying his race. But a c00n in the classic since of, being a mistraly caricature of his people and a big joke and making his race look bad.

The privilege comes in, where his meatheadedness and buffoonery will not reflect poorly on White athletes in general. Part of me agrees with you, especially on the JJ Watt thing. White people have turned on JJ, because they feel he's being cheesy and or phony with his Captain America steeze. But the fact that Black players character issues get pushed to the forefront because of the most mundane things, and Gronk's out here just doing god knows what to women, and is open about it, is just.....I don't know....

There's a bit of a difference between hiring a thot yacht with a dozen of your teammates during the bye week and having the captain turn around, and having an organized party cruise in the offseason

Who gives a fukk volume 291034823890582904581290358
Someone negged me for this comment and left 'CAC'

:heh:

Yes I'm white, didn't give a fukk when the Vikings did it, don't give a fukk when Gronk does it, don't know why anyone would in either situation. That's cause I'm white though right.

Uhm,...shannon Sharpe could never have done this.
Tony Gonzalez they kept on a Clark Kent leash like if you ever fukk up.
You won't be in line for this network job after football.
Mike ditka was so mean and hard nosed that he became a buffoon for making one bad draft pick.
They all played Te and never got passes like gronk.
Gronk is the Massachusetts frat boy they always find a WA to give a pass too.


I think the shyt is a severe double standard but I like it cause they have to come up with a large line of bullshyt to try to deflect.
Bullshyt that exposes the double standard as narcissistic and made of make believe.
