Whenever there’s a huge phenomena, scientist take time to draw up theories and essentially try to deconstruct the phenomena. In this case, the phenomena is none other that Antonio Brown. The recently Ex-Raider has hit headlines for his diva-like antics and has left NFL fans more confused now then when he signed with the Raiders. So, lets get to deconstructing Antonio Brown of “AB”.
Antonio Brown, after racking up a plethora of infractions while playing for the Steelers, including missing practices and walkthroughs, had the Pittsburgh Steeler’s front office zapped. On top of that, AB signed a 68 Million dollar deal in 2017. So, AB is the deactivated for the season’s final game and there’s the emergence of JuJu Shuster. This had AB zapped; seeing the young Shuster emerging and grabbing headlines is something AB didn’t appreciate. In fact, there were whispers questioning if AB found his replacement. AB demanded a trade.
The Steelers could not get a decent AB and surely didn’t want him on the Patriots so they shipped him far west to the Raiders. Once at the Raiders the drama began, again. AB injured himself in a cryogenic chamber, complained about his helmet, called Mike Mayock a racial slur, was fined and had his guaranteed money voided. AB demanded to be released.
Now, AB is with the New England Patriots the home of the Super Bowls, what could go wrong? The Patriots have dealt with players who’ve had issues on the field and off the field. Their rehabilitation has led to championship seasons. AB should fit right in. Before we walk into the sunset, lets deconstruct AB.
Narcissism
Antonia Brown, after emerging as an NFL great has been all about himself. This was evident when he recorded his coaches Pep talk during halftime. He went back and forth with Ben Roethlisberger and threatened to retire because a helmet.
Insecurities
The atmosphere in the Pittsburgh organization change when JuJu Schuster began to tug on AB’s gravitational pull on the Sports Media.
Unaccountable
AB has been fined recently be the Raiders which prompt his demand to be released and eventually so. AB, because of his talent, has been able to escape punish any average Wideout would receive.
My take
I truly believe that Antonio Brown is misunderstood. It my seem like he’s on top of the world but he’s in search of something in his life that’s truly satisfying. He recently spoke about not needing football at all. Now, I totally disagree with his sentiment but there is something missing an he’s in pursuit of that.
A storm is coming
As of late, Brown has been accused of raping an ex-trainer on different occasions. Though I wont partake in sides, I would say that it would be a shame if it were to be true. Until then, lets grab an umbrella.
