Uhhhh….Antonio Brown just quit mid game (1 Viewer)

That was so bizarre. I don't think I have ever seen a player do that unless they were ejected from the game.  

 
I hope the NFL hammers him and the Bucs both hard with fines for him throwing his clothes into the stands.  With COVID going around and the latest variant going around like mad, that is a very unhealthy and dangerous act he committed. 

 
Yeah, he has real problems,  not diva WR problems.  I have a feeling we'll be looking at a really sad ending at some point in the next 5-10 years

 
Will be interesting to compare the media takes on Brown to what was said about Osaka and Biles. 
He should have the Baker Act on him immediately, not sure what NY State Police are doing but once he strips out of uniform, he's a civilian at that point and should be arrested for what he did, ARRESTED! He should be in the back of a cop car awaiting to see what the Bucs want to do with him.

 
I’m not saying CTE isn’t real, but it’s irresponsible to blame CTE for his actions without knowing. 
Exactly! And he should be held by police for the moment and then turned over to the Bucs to be taken to a mental hospital for overnight evaluations, potentially a few days

He hasn't been the same since the Vontaze Burfict hit. It's not at all irresponsible to blame CTE for at least some of his actions.

Those hits and also I can't name the DB off the top but he was originally on Dallas-Tennessee-Cinci...strip club problems got him in trouble with Goodell. He was a vicious hitter as well on those Cinci teams that made the Playoffs under Lewis

This…..is not true. He’s still an employee of the team, on the field.  

And unless he went freeballin, he broke no laws. 

Players have thrown articles of clothing/uniforms into the stands for decades. They’re collectible. Made some lucky fan’s Year right there.

cmon. You’re being a little silly here.

This has to be the end of Browns NFL career.  Makes you wonder how much Tomlin hid and kept him in line for as long as he could. USFL might be in his future. 

Brown might have cost himself a million dollars.  At least $660,000.

Brown needed just 8 more catches on the season to unlock a $333,333 bonus. He also needed just 55 more receiving yards on the season to unlock another $333,333 bonus. He also needed just 1 receiving TD to unlock another $333,333 bonus.

You know dam well Brady would have made sure he got at least 2 out of the 3.

 Please don't tell me I'm being silly, with the CTE and everything else right now, there as to be an established protocol at this point. Society has changed a lot since we were all going crazy about simple kneeling of the flag, it's different now. 

-When a player exhibits the type of craziness AB displayed with his track record, you better believe he should be in police custody as a courtesy to Brown himself if no one else, we're not talking felony here, simply holding him in a cop car until the end of the game or in police custody for his own Safety, did you see what he did out there?

 
Someone please share with me what led up to his actions.
Nobody really knows but we can piece it together...I don't think he was being targeted a lot but beyond that, the Bucs were not calling a good game on offense or the plays they were running were not working and he was getting vocal with coaches, maybe Arians told him to sit down for a while and it rubbed him wrong, maybe Arians told him he was done for the day and he went crazy

He committed no crime. It was a team discipline issue at that point & wanting NYPD to intervene is absolutely not  remotely related to anything that could possibly happen in the reality we coexist in. 

Sorry, but calling for a LE response on a false premise (taking uni off = civil matter) is preposterous. All due respect.

You can keep going back and forth, it's fine. I'm not the one who is crazy, AB is and I'm trying to further conversation about establishing protocol just like they do Covid, needs to happen for when players exhibit this kind of behavior. He's not the only one. 

I'm simply asking for him to go thru a Psych evaluation, even if its unvoluntary, he shouldn't be allowed in the Bucs locker room, he poses a danger in the mind set he left the field with. 

-Arians just dismissed him as a Bucs player, so he really wasn't one as soon as he stripped off the uniform, I would say he was a civilian before he left the field. 

-And now he gets no assistance from the Bucs or any NFL team, it's sad really. 

But you can keep pointing that I have the problem, it's fine

-Let's move on if you don't want to help me discuss a better protocol, we always find good topics. 

-Cheers!

 
Definitely. 
No. Something like this was entirely foreseeable, in fact it was inevitable. 

He has a mental health issue and needs treatment.

No one has to like him. No one has to feel sorry for him. But we should all recognize that this a medical issue and goes well beyond simply being a "punk".
