After the rape allegations against Antonio Brown, Nike has ended collaboration with the NFL star. "Antonio Brown is no longer a Nike athlete," a company spokesman told the Boston Globe. Further information did not make the sporting goods manufacturer. Previously, the helmet manufacturer Xenith had already ended the collaboration with Brown.
The allegations of rape against Brown had become known shortly after his commitment by the New England Patiots. Brown's former fitness trainer Britney Taylor accuses the 31-year-old of sexual violence, assault, deprivation of liberty and invasion of privacy.
Brown is silent about the allegations
In June 2017, Taylor worked as a trainer for Brown. At that time, according to the indictment, the NFL professional Taylor twice forced sexual acts, after which the woman terminated her employment with Brown. On May 20, 2018, after Taylor resumed work for Brown, the rape was said to have occurred.
Brown himself has not answered questions about the allegations so far. He focuses fully on the sport, he said on Thursday in a conversation with journalists. The controversial NFL professional has rejected the allegations by his lawyers. He is said to have rejected a bid of $ 2 million.
