InSRussia It's not the job of a reporter to ask uncomfortable questions? He asked twice, Gronk said no, and they moved on. The reporter didn't commit some kind of sin. God forbid a reporter ask one serious question while he's there. There was nothing wrong with the question, and Gronk let it be known that he doesn't want to talk about it. So be it.

I actually started watching football this season. Previously, when I saw Gronk, I had the dumb jock stereotype flash before my eyes. On one interview before SB55, the dude actually calculated 87*12 on the fly and took him like 5 secs. How long do you think that'd take for you to calculate without a pen/calculator. I changed my opinion of him then. Dude's not only emotionally intelligent (the way he raises up the morale of the team), he's also intellectually intelligent. I'm sure dude would've made a great career in whatever he opted to do.

Nice job by dad to respect his son’s view and back him up. 👍🏽

[@JakeLondonRivers]

I thought they could’ve done better by not laughing?

[@CarterH1998]

I agree with you Jen, was nice to see him stand up for his son

[@CarterH1998]

@@JakeLondonRiversno, they weren’t laughing at gronk. They were laughing in defense of him and his reactions and laughing at the reporter for being rediculous

[@berkle]

Respect to the dad he was straight shutting that down even before Gronk was gonna step up

[@halloschalkehallo]

Who is here after watching the miniseries on netflix? I'm from Germany and the whole story of Hernandez was completly new for me ...

[@alanvale101]

Dennis it’s heartbreaking man

[@JoeyMartz]

Love Germany. You ever been to the States?

[@aris_mendez]

Dennis tragic story. Ima patriots fan , and I really don’t like talking about it. Have to feel sorry for his daughter. Btw I used to enjoy watching Schalke when they had Huntelaar. I love the bundesliga.

[@lollypopbaum]

Wanna buy the book from José Báez

[@Berlinquilla]

@@lollypopbaum I bought it and it is really good. It gives a lot of details on the evidence the defence used to win the second trial. Such a tragic story. If Aaron would have hired Jose Baez for the first trial he'd probably be alive and free. Alexander Bradley murdered those two young men. I live in Germany as well and never heard of Aaron Hernandez's case until Netflix documentary. It is so sad from all angles, for the victims their families and for Aaron himself.

[@yolodon5199]

I totally understand Robs pain it's like talking about a deceased family member you just don't want to talk about it Aaron and Rob were bestfriends smh I miss aron

[@toddsmith1969]

He didn't want to taint his reputation, not that he cared about a killer.

[@matthewhohenbery2287]

This dude is waaay smarter than most people think, I respect him a ton for telling the media to F off. We need a lot more of that nowadays

[@4Horsemen4Life]

Should have ended the interview immediately when he tried to ask the same question over again. No class whatsoever.

[@qmoore8000]

fucking loyalty i love my pats

[@2FRESH-4U]

Utterly disrespectful to keep asking

[@ColeTrain4EVER]

Utterly disrespectful to not answer about how one of your best friends was a killer.

[@2FRESH-4U]

@@ColeTrain4EVER not at all

[@leagueG5]

They were like brothers and drafted at the same time. Rob is respecting and protecting that bond.

[@bogz2]

Gronk is my man he got a lot of respect for a teammate

[@drewdurbin4968]

Honestly it needs to be talked about.....to prevent it from happening again

[@jfa-px3mu]

That reporter makes me so mad. He should know that this is a very sensitive issue for him. He doesn't want to criticize a former friend and teammate, at least not publicly. But that stupid idiot is showing no respect. Sometimes recognize media doesn't recognize that the bonds between teammates is very strong, and they care a lot more about each other than some reporter

[@spk8489]

The reporter is doing what he's supposed to. If that reporter never asked tough questions, he wouldn't have a job. There is a ton of competition in media, and if you're scared of hurting your interview subject's feelings, you're gone.

[@jfa-px3mu]

Joey Croissant I totally understand that part. I just think he should not have kept pressing him after he (politely) made it clear he wasn't going to discuss it. And he especially shouldn't have then tried to drag his dad into it. I don't think it's about hurting Gronk's feelings, it's more about pissing him off, by not respecting his boundaries. Like I said, Aaron Hernandez, for all his evil, was Gronk's teammate, colleague, and probably friend. The bond between NFL players is similar to the bond shared by soldiers who go to war together. And he (or any Patriots teammate) would most likely never criticize him just to satisfy some little piss ant reporter. No matter how they feel about Hernandez privately. But yes, I agree the reporter had to ask about Hernandez, but I just don't think he should have pressed him afterward, and especially not try to get Gronk's dad to talk shit about Hernandez

[@erlpen2016]

Jeremy Forczyk so what was he supposed to talk about? how good looking he is? don't accept an interview if you are not going to answer questions...

[@jfa-px3mu]

besamemucho5 Are you kidding there's a bunch of shit to talk about, like his other teammates, his recent season, his injuries, his partying. Even then I don't blame the reporter for asking, I blame him for continuing to poke and prod after he made it clear he wouldn't talk about it. Like he would betray a teammate just to satisfy some little bitch ass reporter

[@spk8489]

Jeremy Forczyk Okay, I'm sorry but I'm jumping back in. I agree that if the interviewee refuses to talk about something, a reporter should not harass the interviewee. But if you are going to call someone a "bitch-ass" or a "piss-ant" then you must be referring to the athletes as well. The only thing scummier than sports journalists are the athletes themselves. Case in point: Aaron fucking Hernandez and Ray Rice. If you want to make broad, non-specific generalizations, then I'd say reporters are generally scumbags, but they aren't generally murders and wife-beaters.

Much respect to gronk let the dead rest

Imagine if reporters were this persistent with politicians

Amen.

When Gronk says, "Next question".... You better listen to him!!!

[@whodat6437]

And ppl don’t understand how cruel the media are. Clearly doesn’t want to talk about it Nd then asks his father. All they want is ratings.

[@BleachCowboy2016]

The reporters job is not to be respectful, it’s to ask questions.

[@xdevinmartinez]

Gronk shoulda dropped that man as soon as he said “okay then I’ll ask you”

Yeah just immediately assault people, that's how we solve things

Rob is just as accountable as Aron. They knew he was sick and enabled that behavior and tried to cover it up.

The clip is 40 seconds and the ad before is 30. So sick of these stupid ads. If I can, I don't buy or watch any ad that is in front of a video.

Terrible reporter. He was wrong to try to redirect the question when Rob already said multiple times he didn't want to talk about it.

Not talking about doesn't change what has happened.

it doesn't mean he has to talk about it.

looked like Gronk was going to cry at first, then he switched up to cover quick.
