Current Events > Antonio Brown just took off his pads and jersey, walked out on his team mid game

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sounds like he pulled a Jeff Hardy.

This reminds me of the time this happened in practice one day. We had a very cocky kid on the team who played middle linebacker. He was the starter and he was ok, but we had a kid transfer and was an all star and then one day he was told he was getting benched. Threw a hissy fit tore off all his gear and headed to his car. All the coaches went chasing after him and all of us eho hated him were like dont go after him.

Also, this is why literally every team passed up in him. It was just a matter of tine.

To be fair, he did help win a Super Bowl last year. But yeah, it shouldn't surprise anyone that Brown would pull some bullshit like this.

Do regular people just know who football players are by name? Who's this kid, what makes him special, why is this outburst significant? Never heard of him, I'd be willing to bet I can't even name 10 players right now.

Do normies really just know every football player as easily as First Name Last Name?

Well, if you're not a football fan and don't watch it then you don't need to worry about it.

Do you know the names of people in bands you listen to, shows you watch, games you play?

Basically he was a top flight WR for years, arguably the best for a few. But then he started having incidents that pointed to mental illness. Left the Steelers, signed with the Raiders, cut before he could play a game because he called the GM a cracker, and has this stint with the Buccs because Brady went to gun for him. There's this incident, the cracker incident, him throwing furniture off his apartment/condo balcony that could've hurt people, and probably numerous other incidents involving him

Yeah there's just so much shit he's gone through the past couple years it's hard to remember everything. Including the doctor farting thing lol

I wonder if he has bipolar disorder. All of these incidents sound like something that can occur during mania.

What the fuck and the NFL just let him go on about his business like a regular contained dude? They don't have resources for troubled individuals like that?

Even if the NFL has programs for him, do you think he'd accept their help?

They should update Madden 2022 so that if you're playing as the Bucs and you're on defense, there's a small chance that Antonio Brown will run across the field toward the exit and leave the game.

Antonio brown is one of the best statistical WRs of all time

It make take some time, but hes getting into the hall

From Reddit

Answer:

Reports are that the head coach of the Buccaneers went to Brown during the game and asked him to enter the game. Brown refused because his ankle was sore. Brown was reported to be on a snap count for the game because he entered the game a little banged up. When Brown refused to go back into the game, Arians told him he was then done for the day to rest for the playoffs if he was sore. Brown freaked and literally quit the team essentially during the game. Bruce Arians said after the game he was no longer a Buccaneer. Brown has a very very long history of being a problem child. He should have been out of the NFL long ago.

From what has been reported, he was very close to three stats bonuses totaling $1M. Each was $333,333. He needed 1 more TD, 8 more catches, and 55 more yards to unlock each bonus. Being benched for the whole game woulda hurt his chances of getting those by the end of the season.

So he probably was mad at being told to go in at that then and there because he didnt want to at that very moment (due to his ankle), and then flipped out when he was told that if his ankle hurt, he should just sit out, since it might cost him a ton of money.

Not condoning it that just seems to be something that was likely.
