Rob Gronkowski Under Fire For Making An Inappropriate And Juvenile ‘Joke’

It’s no secret that New England Patriots star Rob Gronkowski is a flirtatious playboy. Everyone who pays attention knows this.

That’s brings me to this.

People are slamming Gronk for making a bad joke and “incorporating” a female reporter during Super Bowl Media Night.

Gronkowski was asked what the chances are of him retiring after Sunday’s Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams.

‘You know what number I’m putting up, and my chances,’ laughed Gronkowski, who is known to make juvenile references to ’69,’ which is also known as a sex act.

Gronkowski then pointed to a female reporter, and said: ‘I can see, so she knows the number, so ask her.’

I don’t know if he randomly pointed to a female reporter, but my guess is she gave him a look like, “Oh brother, I’ve heard this one before,” which could explain why he was all, “She knows– ask her!”

‘I’ll give you a math problem,’ he continued, as quoted by the New York Post. ‘What’s six times nine plus six plus nine?’

It sounds like he’s been making the same bad joke for years.

His favorite number is 69. Hardy har har. Yes– he probably shouldn’t have pointed to a female reporter, and the entire joke was stupid, but it’s nothing new. He’s 12. We all know this.

New York sports radio host Chris Carlin weighed in afterwards on WFAN: ‘He’s obviously making a stupid 69 joke, but you’re going to point to a female reporter in that setting and say ‘ask her?’

‘I don’t care who it is,’ Carlin continued. ‘Do whatever you want, dude. Just don’t be disrespectful in that setting.’

Co-hosts Maggie Gray and former NFL linebacker Bart Scott both agreed.

‘That one is a crossing the line,’ said Gray. ‘I think there has been a pass that’s been given to Rob Gronkowski for a really long time. I think part of the pass that he gets comes with the fact he is doing this and really doesn’t have anything in his past or in his private life that would indicate he actually has an issue. It just seems like an act.’

Exaaaaaaaaaactly. He’s a flirtatious goon who makes inappropriate juvenile jokes. I’ve heard worse in a Cardi B song, TBH.
