Who is Baby Gronk?
If you have been on social media lately, you may have come across this viral sensation, "Baby Gronk." Back in March, Gronk's parents uploaded a video of him meeting up with LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, causing a lot of buzz around his name.
Baby Gronk, who's real name is Madden San Miguel, is a 10 year old football prodigy. He is called Baby Gronk as social media fans refer to him as the baby version of Rob Gronkowski. According to The Athletic, Madden has been travelling all around the United States with his father to visit a bunch of colleges. So, even at 10 years old, his father is dragging him into what his future will be.
Also noted in the report, Madden's father has been saying this:
After reading that quote, it sounds like this young kid has been pushed into this lifestyle, which will end up being harmful in the future. Most kids who are forced into sports, acting, etc. end up resenting their profession.
Check out this tweet from a former Sports Illustrated writer:
Carlin then adds under his tweet that Madden's father has been reaching out to companies since his son was only 5 years old.
This is an awful thing that parents do. They want fame and money, so they drag their kids into a lifestyle. He has been named a "prodigy" since he was only 5 years old. How is this healthy? This kid has not had a real childhood, so hopefully his father lets him be a kid, one day.
