Easy to say: Antonio Brown is such a Diva! He has character issues! Harder: Antonio Brown played *7 years* in the NFL without major off-field issues. Then he took some particularly devastating concussions. Now he's displaying *textbook* CTE symptoms and irrational behavior.
The latest: * AB skips team practice * Team fines him $50K * AB tries to attack the team's GM because of the fine. He has to be held back by teammates, including a linebacker * Team fines AB $200K * AB asks to be released, giving up $30MM in *guaranteed* pay. 😮 Impulse control.

Ironic: the linebacker teammate who held AB back... Is Vontaze Burfict, the same linebacker that gave AB those two devastating concussions. AB used to play for the Steelers. Burfict used to play for the Bengals. AB's behavior changed dramatically after those concussions.

Those Burfict concussions occured after AB had already played 7 years as a high production wife receiver... In a helmet that even the NFL has deemed unsafe. Hard to watch. TW: A man experiencing permanent brain damage. piped.video/watch?v=o8iFSP…

I believe the $200k fine is what took away the guaranteed pay and that’s why he’s asking to be released now because he doesn’t want to take the risk of playing paycheck to paycheck week to week without guarantee if he gets hurt again. He didn’t give up guarantee voluntarily.
