A Brown reaction

by now we've all seen the video of Antonio Brown's antics and running out on his team. should it really come as a surprise? it was only a matter of time before his previous behavior repeated itself. but what i find particularly galling is the narrative is now, don't condemn Brown, feel sorry for him.

On Football Night in America before the game between the Packers and Vikings, Dungy said teams shouldn't give Brown another chance until he "gets some help."

"I've said this in the past: I feel sorry for Antonio Brown," he said. "He's talented, but he needs help. In the NFL, we're not doing him any favors if we keep signing him and keep rewarding this kind of behavior. Don't sign him until he gets some help.

if you really feel sorry for Brown, then don't feel sorry for him - hold him accountable for his actions (which include sexual assault) and force him (not just hope he does) to seek treatment - and be held accountable for his crimes. so a team is racist for not signing Kaepernick, but now they are bad too for signing Brown - not because he's done wrong, but because they are supposedly encouraging his bad behavior?!?! where is the personal accountability? how is Brown the victim? yes, he has made some very foolish decisions (criminal decisions) and displayed selfish, asinine behavior, but remind me again when he was determined to be clinical mentally incapable of making decisions for himself?

but it gets worse. NFL's Ian Rapoport has placed blame on Bruce Arians for the Brown's behavior.

"Midway through the game yesterday, Bruce Arians and the offensive staff told Antonio Brown to go into the game. They believed that he was healthy," Rapoport said on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football." "Antonio Brown did not believe he was healthy. He had been battling an ankle injury for the last several weeks."

" ... "What he told the staff, from what I understand, is that he was not going into the game because, in his mind, he did not feel he was healthy.

"The response then from the offensive coaches and from Bruce Arians was, 'If you are not gonna go into the game when we tell you to go into the game, then you cannot be here.' At that point, they threw him off the sidelines and then cut him from the team."

so Brown is not blame for rushing off shirtless, but rather Arians "threw him off the sidelines"!

The guy obviously has serious mental health issues. And Arians is an asshole. But at some point, don't you have to hold an adult responsible for his own actions? AB has burned every bridge in his life (well, except Tom Brady). Just a total disaster for everyone concerned.

Looks like Grier has his new Fooler to sign.

Not even Grier would sign this clown. His only chance of playing again is if his fanboy Brady goes to another team.
