BiBi Jones and Patriots' Rob Gronkowski Give NFL Fans Reason to Cheer

New England Patriots superstar tight end Rob Gronkowski recently made waves around the NFL when photos were tweeted of himself standing shirtless alongside porn star BiBi Jones.

In the photos, Jones, whose real name is Britney Maclin—which is surprisingly sexier than her stage name—is wearing Gronkowski's No. 87 Pats jersey.

So, she's not naked, unfortunately.

However, Gronkowski is—somewhat. Not really, he's actually just shirtless.

Still, in the world of censorship and repercussions for the sake of repercussions, there must be some sort of backlash, right?

Wrong.

This hilarious incident does little to ruin or damage the reputation of the New England Patriots franchise.

In fact, it improves the reputation of a team led by a stiff head coach and a soft quarterback in Tom Brady.

Brady is a future Hall of Fame quarterback who has three Super Bowl championships to his name. However, that doesn't change the fact that he often receives preferential treatment from officials.

That being said, if Brady can use sex appeal to sell cologne, watches, man UGGs and visa credit cards, why can't Gronkowski have a little fun on his bye week with a porn star?

After all, the NFL prides itself on stripping—why else would referees pull panties out of their pockets and throw them onto the field whenever Brady goes down?

In the end, the NFL is beloved by male and female fans alike. It's hard to imagine any NFL fan being rattled by these revelations.
