Reporter J.W. Gibbons stopped former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski on Tuesday to ask whether he believed men should be allowed to play in women’s sports — and the ex-professional athlete’s facial expression said it all.
“Yesterday I got the opportunity to ask NFL legend and GOAT TE Rob Gronkowski a question about men playing in women’s sports,” Gibbons said. “His reaction says it all. One of the coolest things I’ve gotten to do since joining the @DailyCaller.”

“Hey, uh, Mr. Gronkowski, [I’m] with The Daily Caller,” he began. “I want to ask you, should men be allowed to play in women’s sports? Yes, no, maybe so?”
Gronkowski appeared to recoil a bit, as if taken aback by the question — but then his eyes widened and he shook his head.
“No?” Gibbons prompted again — and Gronkowski shook his head again.
The former tight end, who played both for the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during his 11-year NFL career, was in Washington on Tuesday for a discussion about a potential vaccine for valley fever in dogs.

Valley fever, a lung infection caused by breathing in spores, can be deadly – and infection is more prevalent and often more severe in dogs than it is in humans. There is no known cure for the infection. Because of its prevalence in Arizona — and Gronkowski’s history with University of Arizona — the four-time Super Bowl champ has joined with Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) to promote awareness and a possible vaccine.
Gronkowski has put his own money where his mouth is, donating $1 million of his own money to the Anivive start-up last March toward the development of a valley fever vaccine for dogs — with his money specifically dedicated to distributing the eventual vaccine to lower-income households and dogs in rescue shelters first.
