Antonio Brown

[Ring 6]

I know that but she could have said no to SI. She got her story on SI.

If it’s true that he owes her money and didn’t pay I don’t blame her. But we have no way of knowing those details.

 

[TB_Helmet]

Oh plz! Did she think he was not gonna clap back after she published his dirty laundry in a well know magazine read by many? She likely gonna paid for it!

“NYC” pats fan huh? “Practice squad”. And the classic all caps username.

I’m starting to think you’re a Jets fan who is posting the dumbest stuff possible in an attempt to make Patriots fans look like idiots.

Honestly if the guy was on the Steelers or Chiefs I'd be wanting him suspended and what not , but since he is on the Patriots and a great talent I really hope he is just an idiot and not a serial sexual harasser. Wonder if that makes me a bad person

Really doesn't make a difference one way or the other. He's not your friend, for our purposes he may as well be a Madden player who's just a bunch of 1s and 0s. Just a guy I watch for entertainment on Sundays.

Whether or not the "headlines" are exaggerating, there is no way you can consider these texts as anything other than negative.

I would expect texts to someone who just assailed your character in a National magazine article to be negative, wouldn’t you?

 

[Dorito Dink]

The NFL is clearly serious about that part of the policy. After all, Tyreek Hill got suspended a ton of games for telling his fiancee "you should be terrified of me too b*tch." Sarcasm.

I know it's the NFL and they aren't the beacon for consistency, but you can't apply that to one case (which was a black and white threat) and then apply it to a "you're broke, my buddies are going to look into how broke you are to expose you for this bs accusation." Not even close to being on the same level of harassment/intimidation.

I think AB is a complete moron and with each passing day my patience is waning, but I still don't think we're at the point where a suspension is legitimate nor is a release. BB needs to have one final talk: stay off social media, stop contacting your accusers, and fall in line like the rest of the team.

You sound like a chicken little with your posts .

As I said, you are so entrenched in your position your unable to see the situation without bias. If all you care about is the Patriots winning at all costs, fine. But just admit it.

 

[VectorPrime]

I have absolutely zero doubt anymore that if the Tyreek Hill situation happened to the Pats the fans here would be just as bad as those in KC.

 

[TN patriot fan]

Which i'll refer everyone to tyreek hill saying on audio

"You need to be terrified of me too, b*tch"

Seems to me that a clear audio recording of someone unmistakably threatening the physical safety of another person is a wee bit stronger of a violation of the personal conduct policy than a text message merely inviting the recipients to dig for dirt on someone - you know, the same thing SI just did for months on the sender of the message.

Hey Vinny can you look into this poster for me

“Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?”

Take him to civil court and that’s that. Don’t bring more attention on a well known magazine.

I think he’s a dumbass for texting her absolutely, he didn’t say anything remotely what the headlines or the article are suggesting.

Hill was never suspended by the NFL nor has he missed a game due to discipline.

Edit: missed sarcasm. Well done.

I’m not mad and there is no connection to my point and what you are saying.
I’m disagreeing that you should be allowed to take away someone’s livelihood because they sent a perfectly legal text that got sensationalized by the media.
If an employer fired someone because they were in a police blotter because someone complained about them doing something that was legal then i would 100% feel the same way.

My opinion has nothing to do with it being AB. It has everything to do with the ridiculous idea that “woke people” think any time anyone chooses to portray you in a bad light regardless of whether what you did was wrong or not you must be punished to the greater extend possible with no regard to facts.

His multimillion dollar contract has a conduct clause in it - I agree that's an issue, but his union agreed to it in bargaining. He's an NFL player - a highly public figure and one of the faces of the league - and not, like, working at the local CVS or something. In the end Antonio Brown has nobody to blame but Antonio Brown for this stuff. I don't know why you're defending him or claiming that we just can't know if he did anything wrong.

I mean negative for Brown. Anyone thinking clearly would never have sent those texts (and any attorney, which I am one, would tell their client unequivocally not to send them). Further, the fact that he included this particular accuser on the message makes it even worse.

Post a statement denying it and saying whatever else you need to and move on.

 

[upstater1]

I wanna know why they keep using the word threatening. Her attorney is ridiculous! The media is so freaking bias. Threatning would be you better watch your back.

So you want it to be explicit.

Something like, "I'm gonna kill you."

If someone like Brown wrote in a text, "Eric B, look into her. Here are pictures of her kids," you'd be like, "Well, I don't much care for this text, but it certainly isn't intimidating."

Need more consistency with the nfl. People comparing this to the hill situation is ridiculous. Some not all.

The attention gives you a better chance of getting your money.

You missed a little sarcasm there.

Wow. I totally did. Thank you.
