For the life of me, I will never understand why those that are so easily offended will watch a roast of all things. How is this any worse than what Jeff Ross or Greg Giraldo said about Flava Flav or Shaq?

You can see the video here:
Watch Rob Gronkowski and Dustin Pedroia roast David Ortiz

It isn't that bad when you look at it in context. Screw the media. It's a f'ing roast. I hope he doesnt' apologize and just says "It was a roast. Lighten up."

This is why you have NDAs and no reporters.

It is kind of offensive that he couldn't come up with anything better than that "quarter back" joke. That's one very old joke. Jews deserve some updated disparagement with regards to playing football. If only Don Rickles had been there...

As for the rest, those complaining should either learn to deal with the real world without crying or stay home and avoid all contact with the outside world.

Here's a link with both Gronk and Pedreira.

As @neuronet says context is everything.

It looks like both sources above have had their links removed.

It must be exhausting to live life each day being offended by each and every thing.

 

[oldrover]

Good thing Ortiz isn't Mexican... Gronk would have had to explain this vulgar display of racial stereotyping...



...Belichick too, for that matter.

 

[TennisBallHead]

Disgusting. Between that and his bar tab, it may be time to cut ties with Rob Gronkowski.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Looks like Gronk won't be at Kraft's for Passover

 

[Gwedd]

Man, Gronk's comments pale in comparison to what some of the old timers used to come up with. Don Rickles, Dean martin, heck even John Wayne would eviscerate people with innuendo and some pretty crude jokes as well.

As said earlier in this thread, people need to get a life.

That was ****ing hilarious...you know, that's nothing worse than Eddie Murphy's Delirious...back when some folks weren't in a daily "who can be the most offended" contest...if the jokes were made against, whites, Christians, Catholics, Catholic priests no one would bat an eye...

Oh and the Jew get the quarterback joke has been around since like 1970s....

I'm one of those "there is no line" guys.

Make fun of anything and everything.

If people weren't so uptight there would be a lot less racism, sexism etc in this world.

Totally agree. The only offensive thing to me is that the Jew joke kinda sucked.

I told Mrs RW (who is a member of the Tribe) the Jew joke and she rolled her eyes, smiled and said, "Only Gronk can get away with that.".

It seems like all you guys complaining about the concept of a safe space could use a safe space from safe spaces.

 

[Love The Drake]

Who would be offended by these joke the same kind of posters on this forum who get upset or block someone when a poster says something they don't totally agree with.

 

[SuperStang83]

Hahaha, I don't care who you are, that was hilarious!

 

[Dingleberry]

I get offended by people who are so pathetic that they get offended by other people's words.

Oh crap. Now I'm a ****y fart who gets offended too.
