Race relations is an unavoidable topic in the Boston area. Protests and rallies have dominated the news cycle and has even led one of the most affable local athletes to weigh-in on the subject.
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was asked to share his thoughts on race relations in America and provided a measured response.
"I just feel like evil will always destroy itself," Gronkowski said to Class Act Sports, according to Sam Galanis of NESN.
"In sports, a team is surrounded with people with different backgrounds, with different races, with different religion. And you know how in order for a team to win is everyone comes together. And I feel like that's what the USA represents - everyone just needs to come together in order to win, just like sports teams."
It's a rare political commentary from a man typically regarded as a party animal.
