Keeps trying to sneak in his old helmet, including painting it. Also doesn’t pay attention in meetings, etc.

Is this a surprise to anyone other than the raiders?

Dude got paid in his 30s and plays for the raiders. Of course he doesn’t give a shite.

I don’t see the issue
Let the guy where the helmet.
Have him sign some kind of paper that says he won’t sue down the road if he has concussions because of the old helmet

Yeah, if you've worn the same helmet since college they shouldn't be able to force you to change.

Sign a waiver and be done with it.

If this was it, maybe. In the context of AB's increasingly erratic behavior over time...

I remember when he started with the Steelers, he seemed like a fairly normal guy and none of that drama existed. That has changed very dramatically.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter And now this: Raiders’ WR Antonio Brown has told team officials that, unless he gets to wear his old helmet, he will not play football again, per league sources. And more....

Since I was a little late, figured, I'd get the extra:

Antonio Brown believes the new helmet that the rules mandate he wears protrudes out and interferes with his vision as he tries to catch football. The Raiders have been sending Brown other approved helmets to try out but, at this time, he is not interested in wearing any of them.

Dude is a complete basketcase.

He might really need mental help, bad.

They don’t make them anymore and can not be recertified or reconditioned

Did you read the thread? He's making it a story. Plus, Schefty is saying he's refusing to play at all unless he gets to wear his old helmet.
