Antonio Brown

Agreed. Which is why it won't happen.

The NFLPA would go to war. You're opening pandora's box at that point.

So you think the NFL is going to investigate this and walk away doing nothing? They would get crucified. I think they will put him on the list, simply because it has less of a down side than doing nothing. It would suck, and I hope I'm wrong.

NFL needs to make these situations cut and dry. It's a circus. Must be arrested or charged by authorities before suspensions kick in. Everyone just has to deal with it.. fans, sponsors, teammates etc. It's the only logical explanation imo

Wow, what a concept, due process.

Antonio Brown: His pattern of disturbing behavior

The cowardly commish will eventually sit him down.

Wow ... arrested or charge = guilt ... do tell.

it's another example of me too, and low and behold, another Kavanaugh story came out over the weekend, possibly to play on the AB storyline. This stuff creates clicks, page views, and sells newspapers....

I can’t wait for AB to showcase how the towel doesn’t cover his genitals in court.

Your honor it was a terrible towel.

Or...get a written signature from the female stating that she agrees to the consensual sex.

Boy, that sure takes the spontaneity out of it.

I know I, and probably many here were VERY sexually active in their mid twenties.

I played in rock bands in many bars at that time of my life and had quite a few "dates" after the show..

I know it's not the same, by any stretch .
My point is that there are groupies at many levels.

Now just add fame and $.
The hatred for the Pats and AB, plus public perception are at an all time high.

Perfect time to pounce.

Hopefully he didn't do it and no women were assaulted.
If there's real evidence, he deserves what he gets.
We don't need him.

We did cut Hernandez before due process could take place. Wasn't on this board when that happened but I'm actually fine with that (with the benefit of hindsight).

I don't think one has anything to do with the other. That's just paranoia.

We cut is different than league action.
As for AB it is my opinion the league has no business in civil matters.
Those who want to argue the morality of him on the roster have a case - both sides have a case.
I don't believe sports teams need to heed the morality police - a slippery slope.

Why because it’s the patriots? Again this is just accusations. Hill beat his girlfriend yet they didn’t believe that he broke his son’s arm. Why didn’t the media make a big stink about that?

That was for MURDER.

Fair enough.

Also not to belabor the point but your stance also means that Big Ben wouldn’t have been suspended. You’re probably ok with that since you’re pretty consistent about this stuff but plenty of people on here think he should have been but think Brown should play, which is having it both ways.

 

[catent]

Wow, what a concept, due process.

Has Brown been denied due process at any point throughout this situation?

For all the hand-wringing here about a lack of due process, it sure seems that Brown is being afforded full and complete due process, by both the league and the justice system.

He hasn't been suspended or exempted by the league, the civil suit is in the process of being litigated, and Brown maintains his personal and professional freedom.

Where is the lack of due process?

People seem to be conflating unfavorable public opinion with a lack of due process in the justice system or the workplace. The public is (and always has been) free to draw whatever conclusions they please.

 

[TB_Helmet]

It’s still due process. He wasn’t convicted of anything at that point, or even close to it.

You don’t think the media made a big stink about Tyreek Hill?

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

If he's placed in commissioner list.. how much cap is gained back

Social pressure, and yes it's easier since it is the much hated Pats.
