It’s all over Patriots fans — Gronk is a Belieber

NEW England Patriots fans might as well give up now because it seems star tight-end Rob Gronkowski is a Belieber.

Boston to be struck by Bieber curse

Bad news, Patriot fans: Gronk is a Belieber.

Already in California to prepare for their game against the San Diego Chargers, Patriots players Rob Gronkowski, Shane Vereen, Jonas Gray, Akeem Ayers and Darius Fleming went to the LA Clippers’ home game Monday and ended up hanging out and mugging for photos with the omnipresent Justin Bieber.

Gray tweeted out that it was no big deal (nbd), but last month, the Steelers were 6-3 and had won three straight games when they met with Bieber at the team’s Saturday night Bible study before a game against the Jets. The Steelers are 1-2 since, having started the slide with a loss to those Jets, who had only one win and eight straight losses entering the game.

Fear of a Bieber jinx raised the alarm among Patriots fans.

I will say this has been the only time I've been ashamed to be a Patriots fan seeing those guys hanging with Bieber

New England coach Bill Belichick may not be happy about all of this, either, but what else is new?
