After watching his video, I think AB is what happens when fooballer thug meets narcissist Special snowflake mentality. He’s utterly tone deaf and completely detached from reality.

All a bunch of BS so he could get released and signed by the Patriots

This is an odd take. How do you define work? He provides a service (entertainment) that clearly many people are willing to pay for. If that's not work, then what is?

Interesting coincidence. Randy Moss went from Raiders to Pats. Both Moss and AB signed a 1-year deal with Pats.

Oh, it’s work, in the technical sense that he’s getting paid to do something.

To say he’s one of the “hardest workers” when his “work” is running and catching a football is a joke.

A dude toiling in a mine is a hard worker. A brain surgeon performing a 12 hour surgery is a hard worker. A farmer is a hard worker.

A football player isn’t a hard worker.

You have an interesting perspective on this. Have you ever played sports? Just because it's a game doesn't mean it's not hard work.

Is it possible for any entertainer to be a "hard worker" to you? You seem to define the term based on how important the product is.

It brings in over billions of dollars and he gets paid millions for performing his job. It absolutely is the definition of work you dimwit.

This entire thread reminds me of:



Anyone who thinks the top WR in the NFL doesn't work hard is a fricking idiot.

At the end of the day, AB didn't want to play for a perennial bridesmaid like the Steelers or a perennial loser like the Raiders.

Good for him taking his talents somewhere they appreciate winning.
