Is anyone actually starting to feel bad for Antonio Brown?

I realize he has always been a toolbag, but I don’t find his antics funny or entertaining anymore. It’s obvious the dude is suffering from some kind of brain damage and has lost any ability to function cognitively. The Vontez Burfict hit may have sent him off the deep end. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a great athlete fall from grace so hard and so fast.

I actually hope he can turn his life around somehow, maybe he’ll finally get the help he needs.

Absolutely not.

Throughout the past year Brown has had an infinite amount of opportunities to right the ship and spit in the face of all reasonable advice from just about every source.

Nope.

Someone who constantly bites the hand that feeds doesn’t get sympathy.

I feel bad. He obviously has CTE and probably had it for years. None of this is his fault. The cops are basically picking on him now because they smell blood in the water.

He needs help. I don’t know if it’s pride keeping him from it, but he better get there fast

Yea I do only because all he had to do was show up in Oakland in August and play football to get 29 guaranteed millions. I also don’t know if that female personal trainer is telling the truth about the sexual assault. If any woman is sexually assaulted they are supposed to call the police asap and press charges. Not wait several months to launch a civil suit. That’s suspicious as hell. Brown has a serious bipolar or personality disorder. I do too but I wouldn’t have screwed up the Oakland contract. My arse would have shown up and behaved I’m certain.

This isn’t CTE, he’s just garbage. He’s been garbage his entire career we’re just hearing about post Pittsburgh. Plenty of stories about how awful he was for years before the public knew.

Great player, garbage human

Yeah it’s got me pretty fricked up.

I can’t stop thinking about it.

How are you guys handling it? How are y’all coping with it all. It’s just such a tragedy. Wow. Speechless.

Anyone with empathy, compassion, and a basic understanding of mental issues should have some pity for him.

but this is the internet and it's funnier to laugh at people when they self-destruct, so no one will admit to feeling bad for the guy

Well somewhat because I think he's bipolar.

That said, there's a lot of people that manage their mental illness, and he's made some poor decisions.

His biggest problem is he doesn't have enough people around him that actually give a frick about him. This reminds me a lot of what Mike Tyson went through; self-destructive, surrounding himself with people that leech off of him.

Biggest difference between the two is that Mike Tyson seemed far more introspective, and knew that people were taking advantage of him at a certain point.

Yes. He is exhibiting symptoms of CTE. He's played football since he was ten. He has CTE.

Not me, he did this to himself. And the way he treats police and cussing in front of his children and records it.

No thanks

This pattern of behavior started before he bashed his brains in during NFL games. He’s a pretty terrible person who had more resources and money at his disposal than any of us.

Why should I feel bad for HIM before I feel bad for a normal human who is down on his luck and actually suffering from something other than pussilitis?

Probably because the dude has a legit mental issue. This ain't TO in his driveway doing sit ups for attention. Brown needs legit medical help and people are too caught up in the laughing to see it.
