University of Arizona alum Rob Gronkowski grabbed some headlines — on a slow-news day — after the New England tight end apologized on Wednesday to Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft for a picture recently Tweeted of Gronk posing with adult film star Bibi Jones. Gronkowski reportedly met Jones while enjoying some free time during the Pats’ bye week last.
SAID GRONKOWSKI:
“I didn’t intend anything to hurt the reputation of anyone on the New England Patriots or on behalf of Robert Kraft. It was just a simple picture, and that’s all.”
Gronk Nation, the Facebook page for Gronkowski brothers Rob, Chris and Dan also weighed in on the pseudo-controversy Wednesday night.
“It was just a pic – nothing happened.”
Curiously, the Facebook page followed that response with this post four minutes later:
“The spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid.”
A national debate is brewing whether or not Gronkowski did anything wrong and should have offered an apology.
