Now Antonio Brown has gotten himself suspended and allegedly threatened to smack his GM in the face.  What an f'ing moron. 

They're gonna void his guarantees and eventually cut him.   I don't see him playing a down for the Raiders at this point.

I hope you are right.  I hope he doesn't see a penny of that money just because he is the absolute polar opposite of a team player in a team sport. 

The suspension is to void his contract and guarantees. The NFLPA will fight that but since they are the most worthless union in all of sports, they will lose. After all, if he is on camera or has witnesses to him threatening to assault the GM, then I don't think he has much of a case. Even for the Raiders, I'm sure that conduct is not allowed.

As I understand it he did this in front of teammates, then punted a football and said "fine me for that too".  I realize that if released he will find work elsewhere but I'm stoked that the Raiders seem to be standing up to a prima-donna nutball. Far too many others are allowed to run the asylum because of their talent.

Drew Rosenhaus is trying to get things worked out. It would have been great if Drew stepped away himself but that isn't happening as long as money is involved.

If team captains call a meeting with the coach to tell him that the team players supports the GM, in a team vs player conflict, than its game over. 

Only Antonio Brown can be in a ridiculous dispute and make the Raiders seem professional.

If released, he is either going to go to the Chiefs and kill it for them to spite Oakland or this is the beginning of the end of his career.

EDIT: Brown apparently called the GM a cracker and was restrained by a teammate. He has since issued an emotional apology to the team and things may be smoothing over......until he calls Carr a cocksucker for not giving him the ball on every play.

Get ready to see black privilege in full display. Any white player had called a black executive the N word while threatening to punch him in the face would have not even been given the chance to apologize. As it is AB will probably play Monday.

ABC booted Roseanne for much less.

As mentioned above. Jon Gruden has just announced Antonio Brown will play Monday night. LMAO

While I can agree that black racism is largely accepted and overlooked, there is a massive difference between cracker and the N word. Mainly that we can all say cracker but have to type out the N word and I'm not too bothered by that since it really is awful.

I just want to laugh at the dumpster fire that is the Oakland Raiders.

the difference is historical context and relative power base.

That's the same reason why when Christians play the martyr it's pathetic and laughable. You can't be the martyr when you're 80% of the population and in charge of everything.

Yep. Only whitey can be racist. Everyone knows that.

He has been cut.

Hay he been diagnosed yet?

I heard he got cold feet playing for the Raiders.  🙂

I did NOT want him.  Now I have to root for the fucking diva scum bag.😞

and this smells of tampering anyways

I understand.  But for the rest of us, it gives us one more reason to dislike the Patriots.   ;D

Now Gronk will probably come back and the Patriots will go 19-0

Why didn't the Raiders think of this before releasing him?

Chris Mortensen is reporting that Brown sought advice from social media consultants on how to speed up his release from the Raiders.

If true, that kills whatever appeal he would have to try to get that guaranteed money back. I don't know if the Pats were involved in this but I guess a friend of a friend reaching out and saying to come to New England can't be ruled out.

I know that in the NBA, it has already been determined that player-to-player tampering is essentially unenforceable.  They only go after management-to-player tampering.
