In property law this is called condition subsequent. At the time of the sale the facts presented were correct. There was no false advertising as several have INCORRECTLY stated. It is an issue that arose subsequent to the transaction or presentation that changed the facts and thus how it moves forward.
The timing seems almost as if he knew about the ball and the auction. Despite his announcement we do not know if he filed his retirement papers with the NFL. If not, then the retirement announcement, was merely a grandiose proclamation. He stated more than once that he wanted to play quite a few more years. The man is not stupid. It could be a way to get more money out of ESPN or whomever was going to offer him an announcing contract. It may also be a way to keep Gronkowski in Tampa Bay. I believe he is looking at playing for the Bills.
