re: Antonio Brown Declares Bankruptcy

Accolades wise he’s definitely a HOFer. But the voters don’t have to give a reason for not wanting him in. It’s not like they’re answering to anyone

True to some extent, nobody officially, but they do have to answer to the public (perhaps) and their credibility. The comp is TOwens, an obvious 1st ballot HOF but a jackass. The voters made him wait three or so years, voted him in, and then the guy doesn't show up. LOL.

I think Brown is a worse case than TO. Brown is an embarrassment to himself and the game. They will absolutely make him wait, but at some point, the numbers don't lie, and they will hold their noses and put him in.

With that said, his self-destruction was so public and brought dishonor on the game. They could hang their hats on that and keep him out a long time, and meanwhile he will embarrass himself and alienate them even further reacting to the delay. I certainly don't see any public outcry now or later on his behalf, so maybe he doesn't.
