Antonio Brown Scandal By: Colin Hunter Ever since he was drafted in 2010 by the Pittsburgh Steelers, Antonio Brown has been a whirlwind wide receiver, setting records, getting into the Pro Bowl, and now, being accused of sexual assault and threats by multiple women. On September 8, 2019, Antonio Brown was cut from the Oakland Raiders after publicly asking to be released. He was almost immediately signed by the team he wanted to play for: The New England Patriots. After playing for the Patriots for less than a week, he was accused of sexual assault by multiple women, causing him to be cut by the Patriots as well. Many people believed he was done with the NFL. He proved this even more on Sunday, September 22, 2019, when Antonio Brown had a public meltdown on Twitter calling out old teammates and coaches/managers after being sued and spoken out against on the counts of sexual assault and threats. Some people believe that Brown is throwing away his future in the NFL with his actions, but Mr. Rosati, the Perry High School football coach, believes otherwise. When asked about this topic he said, “He has made some foolish mistakes, but someone with such unique talent, he will get picked up by someone.” It is true that Brown has immeasurable talent, but these allegations shocked millions of people. Mr. Rosati said that “it was definitely surprising, but it kind of always is when someone is accused of something like this.” Even though Antonio Brown is an all-star wide receiver, he has made mistakes but still has the chance to fix his career. .
