Rice Picker
New England Patriots Tight End Rob Gronkowski was recently at a signing event in a club and accidentally let racial remarks fly when an Asian American Fan got up to dance with him.
Being a Pac-Islander myself (Philippines) whose country is known for their rice fields, I’m not mad at you Gronk.
You should be mad at yourself for making the comments… Joking or not, it’s a turbulent time for the NFL.
In light of everything that’s been happening: concussions & injury cases to the Martin-Incognito drama…
people are scrutinizing the NFL to the nth degree.
On a side note: for all of those that look up to athletes and celebrities… I’m mad at you
I work in sports, and I cross paths with “celebrities” whether I’m DJ’ing an event for them or so happen to see them in someone’s office:
I never tell them that they’re my idol. I never tell them that I want to be them one day.
Ask my parents… I always wanted to be an astronaut growing up. I admire athletes for their talents and abilities. It’s amazing what they can do on the playing field….
But celebrities are HUMANS. They just have talents that enable them to do things that some people can’t.
In this case, Rob Gronkowski’s talent is: To Insult the Asian Culture.
