OT: Gronk gets slap on the wrist for DIRTIEST HIT of the year

[cwamjn]

Gronk is not cute, he's not entertaining, at least to me. The things he does, if they were done by some other players, they would be crucified in the press. But Gronk is held to a lower standard for whatever reason.

Because he's white.

Because he's white.

Really?

Racist comment alert!

If this was done on the street, Gronk would be in jail. Instead, he gets suspended one game against the Dolphins.

This is worse than the allegations against Elliot. Should be minimum 6 games for this.

Over reaction.

"
When Shaquille O'Neal dominated the NBA, he was so good and so powerful the refs allowed defenders to beat the crap out of him without being called for fouls. It was the only way to slow O'Neal down. Just cheat.

We are seeing the same thing happening now with Rob Gronkowski.

When the Pats tight end inexcusably slammed the head of the Buffalo Bills' Tre'Davious White two weeks ago, leading to a one-game suspension, he did so out of frustration. Gronkowski spoke afterward about how he was being held. As wrong as his reaction was, he wasn't wrong that he was being held.

Against the Steelers, Gronkowski was treated as he is in almost every other game he plays. He was held constantly, almost blatantly, on most passing routes. Gronkowski pushes off—a lot—so maybe the officials figure they'll just let things go to even it out.

Gronkowski is so good, though, that he can fight through the holding and light teams up, as he did against the Steelers on Sunday with a career-high 168 receiving yards."

Not buying it as an excuse. As stated, he could get flagged on most every reception himself.
