You people always talking about Black athletes this and that, what are these athletes that do what Gronk does and they get 'crucified' by the media. Name them... I'll wait...

Last summertold him to cut the shyt out and he stopped going out.
Plenty of athletes go out a lot and Gronk is probably in the media the most despite never being in trouble.
Bolded is partially true. They told him to calm down but did not tell him to stop going out. I've seen him out in the city a few times however he's not always an out of control, drunken goon. I'm guessing given what happened in Vegas, the next conversation with
is not going to be as forgiving. As far as this thread goes, of course the media is going to love him. Dude is a 23 year old football player, single, and with a ton of money. If you were in his shoes, you wouldn't be going out having a good time?
One more thing, other than poor judgement (which is not uncommon for a single 23 year old guy who loves partying), what is Gronk guilty of? What rules has he broken that demands the media to turn on him?

Exactly!
vs.
Both all pro players. Both hot dog show boaters....however one had a history of alcohol and substance abuse, while the other had a clean history of running afoul with the law until very recently when his playing days were virtually over.
One player was considered everything right with the league, while one was considered everything wrong with the league. Guess who?
And after you answer that, answer in your heart of hearts whether a celebrated black figure would be given repeated passes for publicly partyin to his hearts content hours and days after heart breaking losses. Tell me his dedication, heart, intelligence, and maturity wouldnt be brought into question.
If you fail these questions, obviously you are not fluent in white privilege. Or at least you choose to deny it.

You read the Thread Title? I asked Gronkowski breh, Ocho got the media on his ass because of his attention whoreness, he was never criticized for his play, the reason for Ocho being a target was all that arrogant bullshyt he used to pull out just like Terrell Owens, the media and other athletes percieved it Disrespectful to the game.
Now you tell me when have you seen Gronk acting in such way?

But it wasn't celebrated either. ESPN didn't make a special
with them like Olll look At at crabs and Gore having fun and partying. They are such fun guys. It's one thing not to shun it and another to act as if it's acceptable.

As they should be. Trying to drunkenly wrestle someone on a nightclub stage with a broken arm is not the smartest decision you could make.

Dog, your shuffling like a muh'fukka. The coli, of all places, knows about the reality that is white privilege....especially when it comes to how Brett Favre was treated throughout the years. Dragging him into this won't save this shytty thread.
Black athletes party all the fukking time, we don't need your hypothetical, that shyt actually happens....and the media generally doesn't care. I'll give you the fact that they celebrate Gronk doing it more than they would a black athlete, but they don't slam black athletes for doing it.
The irony in all this is that Gronk is about to get criticized after this latest incident more than anyblack athlete I can think of (for a similar offense).

If gronk was black he'd be gettin barbecued by the media
But since he's white he's "just having fun during the off season"
