Antonio Brown (CTE)

I think the excuse that people can using for him about CTE is starting to get tired. Does he probably have CTE? More than likely due to the amount of years of his life playing football. But some people are just assholes, and it has nothing to do with brain injury. Some people are just despicable human beings, and giving them millions of dollars and millions of fans on social media who egg on their every move makes them that much worse. The saying is true "money amplifies your true self".

I’m to the point where I wish Burfict would have hit him harder.

Each team has to pay a monthly assessment fee (don't know the amount) to the NAL. AB didn't think he should have to pay that, even though it was in the agreement when he bought the franchise. It's due the 15th of the month. He didn't pay May or June.

I feel bad for the players and coaches. They don't make much, so they're playing mostly for fun. The Albany guys lost their gigs because of him, not to mention the staff who work the arena on game days.

He was literally firing coaches and players after each game if they lost or didn't play the way he thought they should. What is even sadder is evidently the Albany team was actually good before he bought them and went all AB on the team.

Albany Empire Players Intend to Sue Antonio Brown, per Report​

Former NFL star Antonio Brown reportedly faces the threat of a lawsuit by employees of the now-expelled Albany Empire indoor football team that he partially owned, after players’ and coaches’ final paychecks were rescinded, according to the Albany Times Union.

Former Empire head coach Moe Leggett said players and coaches were paid on June 15 and June 16, but by June 21, the money had been taken back out of their bank accounts. The players are still owed $500 each for the team’s final game, Leggett said.


The coach apparently attempted to discuss the issue with Brown, who is a member of the trust that owned the Empire, along with Brown’s accountant Alex Gunaris and Empire president Alberony Denis, but none of the parties returned his calls.

“I’m frustrated,” Leggett told the Times Union. “I’m frustrated. I tried to give [Brown] the benefit of the doubt. I tried to work with him. I was trying to be the peacemaker, the mediator to make sure things ran smoothly and just under the radar. But I can no longer do that.”
