The Tom Brady roast was remarkable for the NFL community. His ex-teammate’s risky stunt resulted in injury, causing fans to draw comparisons to the Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce, who is often criticized for such acts.

Rob Gronkowski and his former teammate Brady were also recipients of the insults. While the show revolved mainly around digs at Brady, Gronk also faced the brunt of some insults. All in all, it was a great night of jokes and antics until Gronk’s bizarre glass throw injured a member of the audience.

In the aftermath of the Tom Brady roast, there was laughter all around. As everyone was celebrating, Gronk took it a step further and downed an entire shot glass, which he later threw and shattered into pieces. Later, reports indicated that someone in the audience actually got injured because of the broken glass.

In response to this incident, a fan called out Gronk and compared him to Travis Kelce, known for chugging a can of beer as a signature move. The user wrote, “Can you imagine the backlash if Travis Kelce did this?”

Additionally, he shed light on how the NFL often terms Travis as immature because of this specific move, and even though he hasn’t ever caused harm to anyone, Gronkowski has seemed to get away with it while the Chiefs’ TE is always in the negative spotlight. The incident prompted fans to react and cause quite a stir online.

Under the microscope throughout the telecast was Gisele Bündchen, Brady’s ex-wife. Whether or not she turned up for the event (she was busy helping flood victims in her home country of Brazil), she could not escape the roast hosted on Netflix. “Gisele gave you an ultimatum. She said you have to retire or you’re done. But when you have a chance to go 8-9 you gotta do it,” host Kevin Hart said. 

Other NFL personalities, including Robert Kraft, Drew Bledsoe, and Julian Edelman, were part of the show.  

The fans react harshly to Gronk’s wild celebration

There is little negative to think about Rob Gronkowski. The famed Patriots’ star is often a beacon of positivity with his charitable missions and an ever-so-likable personality. Unfortunately, the moment he accidentally injured a fan in the audience might become one of those memories that the former tight end would want to forget.

First, this user wrote, “He wanna be Kelce so bad and is failing at it,” and insinuated that Gronk is downright trying to imitate Kelce.

This fan pointed out the hypocrisy of the situation if Kelce did the exact same stunt. He said, “If Travis Kelce did this there’d be some tweet with 180k likes about how “immature” he is.”

Next, this user contested the double standards for a retired renowned player like Gronk and a player still active in his career like Kelce. As such, he wrote, “Now if this was Travis kelce all hell would of broken loose for 1 being that drunk and 2 spiking the glass never mind that he also injured someone 👀 isn’t it funny the double standards here 🤬”

Last, this fan summarized all our feelings and would’ve preferred if Gronk said, “Geez, a football is one thing maybe even a beer can but what was he thinking? Smashing a glass to the ground with people all around Yikes.”

Thus, even though the roast is done with and Brady rests at home peacefully, Gronk’s dangerous stunt will continue to make waves, and all the while, Kelce’s name gets attached to the scandal as well.
