After the violence in Charlottesville, and the subsequent demonstration last Saturday in Boston, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was asked about racial tensions that the US is facing in a two-minute interview for ClassActSports.com's MooseTV YouTube channel:
"I feel like evil will always destroy itself," Gronkowski said. "In sports, a team is surrounded with people with different backgrounds, with different races and different religions. In order for a team to win, everyone comes together. I feel like that's what the USA represents. Everyone just needs to come together in order to win. Just like sports teams, I always relate sports to real-life situations...If everyone is on the same page, it don't matter what race, what background, what religion you are, if everyone just comes together like a good, solid football team, a baseball team, that's how you win games."
