Dog, you're removing the context out of my post. The original post was comparing the actions of Gronk and Ocho, and questioning why one was demonized, while the other is portrayed a fun-loving free spirit. Yeah, perhaps a few writers have criticized Gronk, but thats no where near the intensity of the firestorm they created against Ocho.

I was answering the two questions in your post about Gronk specifically. The national media got on his case last year about the Super Bowl thing. The Patriots were pissed at him during last off season because of sites like Barstool Sports and Deadspin keeping track of his partying. You think he's going to be getting away with doing this shyt again?



I agree that Ochocinco is a free spirit. Problem is he's also an attention whore who craves publicity whereas Gronk is not going out of his way to get people to look at him.

So you comparing OchoCinco Antics with Gronkowski's Antics? Horrible example. So Ochocinco focusing more on HIS entertainment career than his football TEAM never had an impact on the locker room? he publicly complained about the amount of passes thrown his way, Constanly getting the wrong attention to the team because of his selfishness, he took swings at the Bengals’ coaching staff during halftime of a playoff game.

Ocho's focus on entertainment didn’t negatively impacted HIS performance on the field, he was one of the best during his prime but his antics, attention whoreness and attitude never helped a football team in any way.


Now you tell me how drinking beers and partying after the super Bowl affected the Patriots in any way which he was criticized for, tell Me about all the other Gronkowski antics that compare to what Ochocinco did, detrimental to the team and their fans, I wanna hear...

I get it, partying hrs after a crushing loss is "his business", and lifting men in the air while recovering from an arm injury is "his business"...

What you dont get is I have zero problems with Gronk. Just like I had zero problems with Ocho. I have a problem with racial double standards, and the way actions are perceived differently based on race. You dont see it, so I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree.

His moms is a bulldyke who started some shyt with him. Try again dawg.

So Dez Bryant antics are a media Creation? try Telling MR Jerry Jones that :bryan::bryan: his own fukking team is scared shytless, so far that they put up these rules for him...

A midnight curfew. If he's going to miss curfew, team officials must know in advance;

• No drinking alcohol.

• He can't attend any strip clubs and can only attend nightclubs if they are approved by the team and he has a security team with him.

• He must attend counseling sessions twice a week.

• A rotating three-man security team will leave one man with Bryant at all times.

• Members of the security team will drive Bryant to practices, games and team functions


That right there is not a media creation, The Cowboy management know more than they letting out.

:whoa:

He doesn't want to hear about what NY media thinks, you know, the newspapers and tv stations that followed the team non stop and have access to the behind the scenes stuff......

what part of, "im talking about national media" do you not understand? the same national media that would go all out criticizing gronk if he was black, but instead, hes white so they make fluff-pieces about him. thats all that matters. what part do you not understand?

no. as ive already stated, there are differences between local & national media.

so, youre trying to compare Shockey getting love for his on the field antics, to Gronkowski's off the field antics?

:stopitslime:

well theres no need for me to address this, since my man right here done already responded accordingly.

i'll let him do the honors................

The point is that that those athletes arent celebrated for the same antics that those of another hue, who have been historically discriminated against for centuries, are criticized for. Thats the problem. The media are spinning the antics of Gronk's into a glowing positive ---- something that they never do for Black athletes. For reference: NBA = Thug league.

You've yet to mention the antics Gronk should be getting grilled for. They got on him last year and they're getting on him now for partying

:deadrose: was on tmz a few months ago coming out of a club in la. No one gave a fukk even though he still had a limp. In the bulls thread we have pictures of Rose and other bulls out partying. No one gave a fukk.

I saw Lance Briggs and Pierre Thomas at a club last week. No one gave a fukk, no one took pictures or criticized them for partying despite their teams missing the playoffs.
