The Twitter account of free agent NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has drawn the attention of the football world throughout the entire 2019 season. On Wednesday evening, the 31-year-old posted a concerning tweet for his 1.7 million Twitter followers to see.
The sentiment quickly drew a flurry of reactions from fans and celebrities.
Brown’s Recent Tweets Have Caused a Stir
Since his release from the New England Patriots’ roster on September 20, Brown’s social media accounts have taken followers on a wide ride. Just this morning, Brown posted a photo of his 2010 NFL Draft card with the caption, “NFL respect my greatness best 6 rounder all time!”
Many observers were quick to point out that Patriots QB Tom Brady was also a a sixth-round draft pick, selected 199th overall, four picks later than Brown, in the 2000 NFL Draft.
The All-Pro receiver has also recently referred to the NFL as ‘racist,’ called former teammate and Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger a ‘loser,’ and been trolled by the official XFL Twitter account.
On December 6, Brown even issued a public apology via Instagram to “family, friends and anyone who I offended.”
