Richie Incognito and Riley Cooper are among the NFL players who have come under fire for racially insensitive incidents this year. Rob Gronkowski may be next.

TMZ has posted a video of the Patriots tight end mocking an Asian fan. (See below.) The incident was reportedly filmed during a fan event last weekend. Gronkowski was scheduled to attend a watch party Sunday at Bar Louie in Foxboro.

When an Asian man wearing a Gronkowski jersey began dancing, the Pro Bowler said into the microphone: "They told me he could only cook fried rice." Gronkowski later referred to the Asian fan as "Leslie Chow" after Ken Jeong's character in The Hangover.

The remarks caused an event organizer to grab the microphone and remind those in attendance that they all signed waivers agreeing to hand over all cell phone footage.
