Legit, who gives a shit about this dude. Maybe it’s CTE, maybe not. He’s just not a good guy. I’m tired of CTE being used every time a football player acts like a shit head. Let him ruin his life and rot.
As far as the CTE, I agree it's not fair to think every person who played in the NFL who is now a shitbag was affected by CTE. Many guys who played in the NFL were that way before, during and after. The fact that one can play football at a high level doesn't automatically make them a good person.
It is true that CTE does affect many, however, so I would hesitate to dismiss it or blame it.
I honestly don't know what Antonio Brown was like 10 years ago. His antics in the past few years sound like someone who simply thinks he is the star and it's all about him. He was a great WR, and he seems to think he's now simply more deserving of anything and everything than anyone one of us lesser folk.
But I am not qualified to diagnose whether he has CTE or it is to blame.
The only conclusion I make is that his behavior now is simply not OK, no matter the cause. And if he needs psychiatric help, I hope for his sake and for the sake of others, he gets it.
(Who just has a bag of "gummy dicks" in their house, anyway?)
