Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Antonio Brown Breaks Silence, Claims He Didn’t Quit the NFL
06.01.2022 - 18:25 / usmagazine.com
After his mid-game outburst, Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Antonio Brown is speaking out — and making serious claims against the organization and coach Bruce Arians.
“First of all, I’d like to express my gratitude to the Bucs, fans, and my teammates. The Bucs helped me return to productive football after I had difficulties that could have ended my career. We worked together to resolve those difficulties, and I will always appreciate that. Being part of a Super Bowl champion team and then a contender is a dream come true,” Brown, 33, began in a lengthy statement shared on social media by his lawyer, Sean Burstyn. “I make mistakes. I’m working on myself and I have positive influences around me. But one thing I don’t do is shy away from playing hard on the field. No one can accuse me of not giving it my all every play.”
The football player said on Sunday, January 2, that he “relented to pressure directly from my coach to play injured” as he struggled with an ankle injury.
“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 I gave it my all for the team,” he said. “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.
