Going to direct my applause towards teachers, health care workers, first responders, etc.

Fair enough. Did you direct your snark at the experts who said he was merely having a “tantrum”?

Nope…Because you’re a hypocrite.
Point me in the direction of someone who said he was ONLY having a tantrum, and I’d be glad to…

So, Simone Biles, Lane Johnson, Naomi Osaka, and Kevin Love should be observed the same way as AB?

The difference here should be obvious. All of the above never publicly did what AB did. They each talked either their coaches and advisors and made the announcement.

I didn't see Lane at the sixers game front court eating popcorn as if nothing had happened. Kevin Love either.

So, unless it comes out that AB has a problem he can kick rocks.

I just assumed Brown has mental health issues from the start tbh. That's why I don't laugh or jeer at NFL players when they do crazy things.

Brady had the right pov on this, the man is clearly crying out for help.

As much of a clown that Antonio Brown has been, if his side of the story is true, then Bruce Arians is a fuckin scumbag.

AB's story does sound believable to me. Bruce clearly didn't want him there from the start and has been looking for reasons to get rid of him. The fake vax card probably would have done it had Godwin not gotten hurt.

Don't get me wrong... I'd understand why Bruce, or anyone for that matter, wouldn't want AB on their team... But to make it seem like a guy just went crazy and quit on his team when he's the one who caused it to happen is just shitty.

Again, this is assuming what AB is saying is true. There's definitely a possibility that it's also complete BS. I guess time will tell.

Quite a thread. We've gone from questioning Antonio Bryant's mental health to defending his actions as totally justifiable.

I'm sure the Buccaneers are delighted with all the drama being generated heading into the playoffs...

I don't think anyone will defend the way A.Brown went about leaving the field but it sure is looking like this whole thing, besides how he left the field, is on Arians more than Brown.

They already won a SB by ignoring all the sexual assaults and domestic violence AB was accused of. They got their pound of flesh from him. The bill has now come due.

Bruce Arians and Antonio Brown - They deserve one another.

He may even find another team that will take him on for these playoffs if he comes out of this looking better than he did when it first happened. He'd have to settle everything with the Bucs first i would think. Teams get desperate when it comes playoff time. Probably not but i could see a team taking that shot on him.
