Antonio Brown

[SHOWTIME15]

Would not be surprised if they release him

Report: Patriots 'caught by surprise' by Antonio Brown rape accusation

 

[Fatmancryin]

As I stated earlier, he will either be released by the Pats, or suspended by the league. Now that the league is investigating, it’s obvious he will be suspended.

For a civil suit????

Unless new information comes out and it becomes criminal than I can see it.

Right now it’s he said she said.

 

[supafly]

Please, she filed a civil suit? 2 years after said incident and never filed a police report? And waited to file this civil suit until the day after brown gets signed by the Pats? Obviously it wasn’t rape, she doesn’t want police involved in any investigation she just wants some cash from brown to make her accusations go away in your standard shake down.

If the NFL preemptively prevents brown from playing due to a warrantless civil suit then they should be sued as well. 3 times having sex isn’t rape, that’s a consensual relationship

Everything you say makes sense, but three things come to mind.

1) The jealousy and hatred for this team have grown substantially since this weekend. I don’t find the odd timing of this suit to be anything of a coincidence.

2) The other 31 teams were already crying. Now, they actually have something to cry about. Between that kind of pressure and Goodell being a fraud, there’s lots of reasons for me to think that he’ll be placed on the commissioner’s exempt list.

3) We may as well have Kanye on the team. He can take over for Jack Easterbrook and perform his Sunday Services.

He won’t be released unless there are criminal charges or being investigated as criminal..right now it’s civil.

He said she said..

That didn’t stop them from placing Tyreek Hill on the commissioner’s list and preventing him from practicing. It also didn’t stop them from suspending Zeke for 6 games.

And both of those instances had the police side with the player and refuse to file charges. The police investigations actually helped to expedite the process. Now, it will be the NFL sh!tshow which consists of Goodell taking 6-8 weeks to pretend that he was investigating.

 

[Biffins]

Not. Good.



New England Patriots receiver Antonio Brown has been accused of raping his former trainer, according to a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in the Southern District of Florida.

The lawsuit says that Brown, in three separate incidents — two in June 2017 and another in May 2018 — sexually assaulted and forced himself on a woman named Britney Taylor, a gymnast whom he met while they were attending Central Michigan together and whom he later hired as a trainer.

The day after we traded DT. Jeez

Let's not play games. We know what "side of the fence" you are on here. You are only now clarifying and intimating a position, but your responses in the thread show that you are a listen and believe type, considering you wrongly assumed people were not using MeToo for personal gain. Next.

The hilarious part of this is that you're........assuming......... I am referring to RACE, when I am simply speaking about false accusations. Emmitt Till happened to be Black, and perhaps his murder was related to that fact, but in this same thread I am speaking about the man Zoe Quinn accused, a White male. This has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with false allegations. When I said "you people", I'm referring to the "listen and believe" types, AKA, SJWs. Look at you, crying about assumptions while making them. Tsk tsk.

Oh look, the butt of a joke doesn't think that joke was very good. How surprising. What's actually lame are your attempts to weasel out of a position after having been told what's what. Let's see, you lied about knowing the Zoe Quinn situation, lied about knowing what I was referring to, and are now resorting to "your jokes aren't good, aaaah".

Anyway, like I said we're done here. Ignored.

Apparently I'm being put on ignore by this goofball; I'll respond briefly for posterity. And with brevity, unlike this dunce who misquotes and obfuscates and is also a dude who doesn't know much about football. Also the Kool-Aid joke was worm-brained.
*** Calling me a liar about my positions in this thread is incredibly stupid and easily refutable, it's all in print. No reason at all for me to lie, no motive.
*** Gamer Controversies, I do not care. I've admitted what I didn't know and Birdguy will not reply about the actual points I have made. All I was arguing originally is that MeToo is not a profit-maker and somehow I ended up here, in absolute message board hell.
*** I don't even really know what Birdguy is upset with me about anymore, but I'm blocked!

Hill was never put on the exempt list as KC had already suspended him.

Usually I side with the accuser, but if this was non-consensual why did she wait for this period of time, repeatedly return to him and not contact law enforcement when it happened??

Why did she wait until yesterday?? A civil suit such as this does not happen overnight it takes time to prepare...

The standard for a civil suit is a "preponderance of the evidence", from what I read there does not seem to be a lot of evidence just "she said he said"..

I am somewhat skeptical without demeaning the woman who filed the law suit.. befuddled and will wait to see how this turns out.

FYI I am not defending Antonio Brown.. just not enough info...

The fact that she kept going to visit him (from Tennessee to Florida) despite her claim that he was repeatedly raping her is a problem.

The fact that she asked him to invest $1.6 million into her business is a problem.
The fact that he backed out of the "investment" after learning she owed back taxes and the government had placed a lien on her property is a huge problem. As is the fact that she first reached out to him just after he received a massive contract including a $19 million signing bonus.

It sounds like she was desperate for money.

 

[ivanvamp]

These are apples and oranges and people need to stop confusing the two. If Brown was arrested and charged criminally that would mean law enforcement had enough evidence to believe he likely committed a CRIMINAL ACT that could place him in prison if found guilty. A civil case seeks $$$ and it ends there. Sorry, but if this woman truly believes she was raped she first and foremost should've gone to police seeking criminal charges -- she always could pursue a civil action later. The timing of this CIVIL action also is highly suspect, IMO, just one day after he signed a guaranteed contact following his nebulous tenure with the Raiders. If Brown was charged criminally I'd say cut him loose immediately and don't look back. Considering this is a civil suit I think it's a different matter entirely.

What I said is true nonetheless.

 

[moosekill]

As we saw with deflate gate the commish can do whatever he wants. I think since this is a civil suit with many questionable issues surrounding it, the nfl has no choice but to “investigate”. However it would be a pretty difficult threshold to cross if the nfl starts suspending players based upon civil lawsuits.

 

[Tb12goesinya]

I obviously have no idea what happened but my best guess is that they had a consensual relationship and then perhaps AB did certain things that disrepected, insulted, or frustrated her. There is no way he should be charged in this situation unless there is some sort of substantial overwhelming proof.

 

[supafly]

Okay, my bad. I remember there being lots of talk about it during the controversy. Apparently, like you said, KC just suspended him, but the same logic applies.

Also, re: the commissioner’s exempt list, according to NFL network’s Mike Garafolo:

“It’s something that’s used when there’s a pressing need going on, usually at the beginning of the season or even during preseason.”

That certainly sounds like it could apply here.

They ignored the fundamental laws of physics before. Just saying.

Of course with not doing anything against the child and woman beater despite evidence they kinda set the bar for this season.

Came across this from SI, McGann weighs in...

Inside the lawsuit filed against Antonio Brown for rape, sexual assault

Based on prior league investigations into matters concerning potential violence against women, expect the league investigation to take months, if not longer. Brown will be obligated under his contract and the CBA to cooperate; Taylor, who has no contractual relationship with the NFL or its teams, has no obligation to comply with an interview request.

@ RealTannenbaum
Because the Rape and Sexual assault accusations are in a civil lawsuit Antonio Brown remains eligible to play.

 

[patsbrasilpatriotas]

Why is she not seeking criminal chargers, can someone explain that to me?

Feel kinda guilty liking this but I call bs on her end until proven otherwise.

1st time he allegedly exposed himself and kissed her without her consent.

2nd time he allegedly master-bated without her knowledge and ejaculated on her back.

3rd time allegedly forced her face on the bed and raped her.
