Antonio Browns full statement of the event released to media
 

"Because of my commitment to the game, I relented pressure directly from my coach to play injured. Despite the pain, I suited up, the staff injected me with what I now know was a powerful and sometimes dangerous painkiller that the NFLPA has warned against using, and gave it all for the team. I played until it was clear that I could not use my ankle to safely perform my playing responsibilities. On top of that, the pain was extreme. I took a seat on the sideline and my coach came up to me, very upset, and shouted, 'What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?' I told him, 'It's my ankle.' But he knew that. It was well-documented and we had discussed it. He then ordered me to get on the field. I said, 'Coach, I can't.' He didn't call for medical attention. Instead, he shouted at me, 'YOU'RE DONE!' while he ran his finger across his throat. Coach was telling me that if I didn't play hurt, then I was done with the Bucs.

"I didn't quit. I was cut. I didn't walk away from my brothers. I was thrown out. Being fired on the sideline for having a painful injury was bad enough. Then came their 'spin.' Coach denied on national television that he knew about my ankle. That's 100% inaccurate. Not only did he know I missed several games with the injury, he and I exchanged texts days before the game where he clearly acknowledged my injury. He obviously knew I was on the injury list. And the GM acknowledged after the game in text messages to my camp that I did tell coach about my ankle pain on Sunday."

Brown goes on to reveal he had an MRI on his ankle on Monday that "shows broken bone fragments stuck in my ankle, the ligament torn from the bone, and cartilage loss, which are beyond painful.” He will undergo surgery.

He didn't even have to tell me this; player's don't leave the field unless they've been told to or cut from the team.
Common sense, except to people who already dislike the guy.

If that's true, then I was wrong in my judgement (on the other A. Brown thread). That sounds like a very odd story that I'm sure will develop as we hear from both sides. Anyway, this guy does have a history of doing bizarre, crazy shit - that's just his reputation.

I actually never heard of anything he did that was bizarre.
I heard he wanted to wear a particular helmet one time and that caused a riff.
But I'm on his side when players are getting CTE and then killing themselves and a family of 5 in South Carolina.
If he thought he was better protected with a particular helmet then I find nothing bizarre about that.

My opinion of what is happening with this guy is that he won't "shut up and be a good Black boy".
He'll actually say he's too hurt to play or that he want's a different helmet.
His haters hate that they can't put this Black man "in his place".

These are just hit pieces to avoid the rape allegations of the White players on his team.

His haters just want to bury this story :

Yeah and if it wasn’t for porn and desperate girls who need money, you would still be a virgin.

First interview - Full disclosure - I have ZERO idea of who he is, other than GFY is talking about him :upsidedow

(He shows up like 15 mins into the podcast)

I can't help but notice all the "man spreading" during his interview.
