Fun read and everything you’d expect. Seems like no one quite knows how to wrap their head around this Gronk cruise. Some are trying to play the “imagine if this was _________ doing this!”. But this is Rob Gronkowski, a giant man-sized 12-year-old who marches to his own drum.
When you read what actually happened on the boat, and the fact that Gronk’s frickin’ parents were there the whole time, it’s hard to really make this into the big deal that so many people would love to make it into.
Give it to Gronk, everything was totally in the open. But there were no cars for drunk people to get into and crash. It seemed well planned out. There was music. There was twerking. Were there some questionable decisions made on the boat that we may never know about? I’m sure. Were there other passengers on the boat who had no idea what they were getting into and wanted no part of it? Definitely.
But taken as a whole, it ultimately seems all about Gronk-sized fun. Partying can still be about that, right? Before it turns into ruining lives as we so often see and hear about.
Maybe a little over-the-top “bro-y”? Definitely. But that’s Gronk. Who else could take a party ship and turn it into a crazy family fun affair with his Dad dancing shirtless on stage?
As Gronk said a couple years ago during one of the previous Summers of Gronk, “Sorry for partying”. Don’t be sorry, Gronk. Just do you and keep being the best tight end in football.
