Rob Gronkowski Dirty Hit

[jrry32]

Any of y'all see this? The guy he hit, Tre'Davious White, is one of the Bills best players and had just picked off Brady. After Gronk's hit, he had to be helped off the field and was put in concussion protocol.

My reaction to seeing that play is hoping that a safety destroys Gronk's knee next time he goes over the middle of the field. There are a lot of things that you can get a pass for in football. But going after a downed, defenseless player's head and neck can both end a guy's career and permanently alter his life. That's inexcusable. It was blatantly late, it was malicious, and it was dirty. What a piece of shit.

Just imagine Patsy fans if a player had gone after Brady like that.

I’ve always found Gronk to be a complete dope, albeit great football player. The vast majority of athletes couldn’t get away with the shit he does without facing major scrutiny. Could you imagine the backlash Cam Newton would face if he stood up and put his crotch in the face of a female reporter that was interviewing him?

 

[BatteringRambo]

If that's not understood as malicious with intent then I'm clueless. Imagine not only that impact pain let alone his left elbow-half arm covered hard plastic brace included.

Wow.

Here’s a little story from 2012 about the Pats’ “fun-loving but immature” rookie TE duo of Gronk and Hernandez

He deserves to be suspended for that garbage. The play was over and White was on the ground with his back turned. Definite POS move.

Never mind what a Patriot player would do...could you imagine the fury of Peter King?

Seriously, it was thuggish of Gronk to do. With the recent fights where guys are taking off helmets and really trying to sucker punch others.... ripping gold chains from another player's neck...and now this. The NFL better clamp down on this hard or law enforcement should start getting involved. Gronk could have killed that guy and his apology isn't enough, imo.

Disgusting hit ... and I’m a big fan of Gronkowski as a player ... I’m surprised the bills didn’t stick up for those guy (unless they did and I missed it )

.

the king of cheap shots and dungy both said he should be suspended during the halftime break of snf.

couldn't believe it when he did it.

That's disgusting. With the leagues focus on head injuries, this shouldn't end with anything but a multi-game suspension. That isn't just a vicious hit in the heat of the action, that's calculated assault. He needs to sit.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Let's consult Peter King on this play.

Gronk is a dumb ass and that hit was playoff ban worthy. It looked like he was out for revenge. How dare that guy intercept Tom Brady!. I hope White is alright. I hope Gronk gets what he deserves from the commissioner, and from the Bills the next time they meet.

 

[Mikey Ram]

I know it sounds knee jetk and really harsh, but if it were left up to me, he would be going home for the rest of the season...That includes the playoffs...The asshole could have broken his neck for crying out loud...Oh, I was frustrated. I didn't understand why they didn't call penalties on them , they 've been calling all kinds of unbeliveable stuff on me...What a fucking asshole...

 

[Mikey Ram]

I'd love to hear how the Cheatriot game rationalize this bullshit...

 

[Zodi]

Anything short of a suspension lasting the rest of the season is letting him off easy. He intentionally caused a player physical harm which lead to BRAIN DAMAGE.

 

[Ramhusker]

Yeah, his low-rent ass needs to be sat down a few weeks.
A $100k fine is in order as well.

 

[shaunpinney]

wow - What a disgusting hit. Totally cowardly as well. Was he not ejected? You could paralyse someone going after the head and neck like that, especially with Gronks weight, on a player that's not preparing for the hit.

Can he be penalised after the match???

 

[Selassie I]

Suspend his punk ass for 4 games...

That way he'll actually have to sit out at least a game or 2 after the cheaters endlessly appeal it.

It doesn't get any lower than that hit. Well, except for when they appeal his penalty for it... that's even lower if one can imagine that.

I just don’t understand why players are allowed to appeal suspensions.

 

[rdlkgliders]

The ugliest part of the hit beyond the fact that the guy he hit was face down was how late it was. GPunk stood over him for a moment loomed down processed it and decided it was a good idea. Not a bang bang play at all. Malicious intention and there should be serious consequences

 

[LesBaker]

This is the worst cheap shot I've seen in a long time. This is as bad as the punk hit Sapp put on a defensless lineman several years ago and as bad as the hit Charles Martin got McMahon with. He measured him up and drove directly into the back of his neck with an elbow. Disgusting.

If he isn't suspended I'd be floored. Goodell is going to sit his ass down for a bit, hopefully a six game suspension.

 

[Faceplant]

Lifetime ban. Fuck that guy.
