Gronk vs Cam; double standard in the NFL?

[mc52beast]

Listening to Mike n Mike this morning, they were talking about a reporter who was told by several players that they feel Gronk gets away with a lot of stuff that guys like Cam would be crucified for.. like the parties, the wrasslin...

What say you guys

This is beating a dead horse...I personally love Gronk and goes with out saying Cam is that dude but at this point it is what it is with the media. I've embraced the fact that Cam is who he is and the media can say or do whatever they want but it doesn't affect him as much as it does us as fans. Cam says it best in all his social media pics "#shinethrushade"

It's bullshit, but it has a lot to do with his position 

[Byrdman4real]

They play two different positions which has alot to do with it. The QB position will always be viewed more closely.

There are other high profile NFL that run around like wild animals as well.  Gronk is very charming and affable.  He's like the nice frat guy who moved into your family neighborhood.  And that's just who he is, he embraces it and shows a real joy in life in his moment.

Cam has always been polarizing because he's a mega star, dresses like...well like he does, and he wears his emotions on his sleeve.  

I think the main difference is that Gronk plays the media's game better, and Cam doesn't like to play it.

Obvious reasons:

1. [redacted]

2. QB vs TE

3. Unpopular team vs popular team

Completely agree. I've felt like this for a long time now. I didn't want too seem like a whine bag if I posted a ten page rant about it so I never said anything. Imagine if Cam grinded on a femal reporter like Gronk did two years ago.

one more thing: remember when travis Kelce and Michale Bennett went off to reporters after play off losses. They cursed at reporters and blamed losses on the refs etc. all cam did was leave early from a press conference. Who do you think got the most heat?

Cam is a black QB.

Gronk is a big dumb white guy that is the life of the party. He does something stupid many will just scoff it aside as boys being boys.

Black QB's that don't conform to the stereotypical Russell Wilson type of nonthreatening black guy that makes white people feel more comfortable to be around will always be under the microscope. Not much has changed in the NFL in that regard, it's just more behind the scenes.

Gronk is awesome, but yeah the media holds Cam to a completely different standard. To be fair, all QBs are and then you have Cam who is held to a standard above and beyond even that.

Gronk ain't so bad.  He's no Johnny Manziel.
