New England released Antonio after new allegations of sexual impropriety. He lasted only one game with the Patriots.

Are the Raiders still saying his release wasn't related to this?

Does the XFL grab him?

I wonder how long of a lease he signed in Boston?

Antonio Brown was released right on her back-oops. It's too bad sports can't just be based on merit unless you're a murderer or a pedophile. He is one of the greatest, should be playing, he has skeet to pay for.

Steelers are the big winners in this saga. Amazing what has happened to him. 4 years of team play and greatness to craziness. Burfect and pac man Jones should have both been out of the league and they have ruined a man.

From nfl.com. so it looks like he sent messages to the accusers. Wtf dude

The Patriots decided to cut the receiver on Friday, less than 24 hours after Brown was accused of sending intimidating text messages to a woman who had accused him of sexual misconduct in a Sports Illustrated story that was published earlier this week.

Makes sense.

The NFL has been pretty fair about requiring evidence even when it sounds bad, like with Shady. So I was surprised that the Pats would drop him over old allegations that sounded pretty iffy.

And sure enough that's not what happened

Antonio Brown farted in a dr's face. Omg. Might get the death penalty if he shared. First sentence true.

One of my sports betting podcasts said how the NFL will have to keep resisting the urge to rush to judgment now. Think about it, just find someone to accuse a key player. If they rushed and suspended too fast that could affect a game.

I read he was told not to contact his accusers. Then he did, and in a way that reasonably could be seen as intimidating. I think that was more of a catalyst for his separation than the accusations themselves. The consequence was swift and justified. The Patriot’s demand players subordinate to the team effort, focus on the business of football, and not feed a media circus. AB tried but just couldn’t fit into that profile.

So much for "AB's going to turn into an angel the second he signs with the Pats"
