Antonio Brown’s wild year continues. After his off-field antics led to the wide receiver forcing his way off of two rosters within weeks, Brown said that he was interested in a potential return to the National Football League.
But now that Brown is still without a job, his mood swings have led to a wild statement on social media where he bashes the NFL.
In his statement — which was NSFW and incoherent — Brown calls out the NFL for treating him unfairly and also treating black players worse than their counterparts. He ended his statement with a very direct message to the league.
“Imagine conforming to a system giving it a 100 percent to see them treat me like this is unfair! Making money off my sweat and blood F–k the NFL I’ll never play in that shit treat black people the worse! Clear my name and go f–k your self,” Brown wrote on Twitter.
Brown also commented on Instagram.
“F*ck @nfl I’m going down another path no more making money off my blood and sweat! No more control of my name and body clear my name I am done with it! So you fantasy f*cks can let it go,” he added.
The wide receiver is supposed to meet with the NFL next week, but we’ll have to see what kind of mood he is in when that scheduled date comes around.
Brown forced his way out of Oakland after a preseason filled with absurd drama stemming from the wide receiver’s frost-bitten feet to threatening to retire over an issue with his league-approved helmet. The Raiders acquired Brown in the offseason via a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers but they ultimately decided the headaches weren’t worth it.
Brown then was a member of the New England Patriots before his second release in weeks after multiple sexual assault allegations and reportedly sending threatening messages to one of his accusers. However, with the sexual assault allegations against him and Brown’s continued antics, the Patriots decided to move on.
Throughout his career in the NFL, Brown has hauled in 837 catches for 11,207 yards and 74 touchdowns. Last season, Brown recorded 104 catches for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns. In each of the last 6 seasons, Brown has recorded at least 100 catches and 1,000 yards.
