2019-09-22T16:46:35.288Z


Numerous scandals, the allegation of rape and the separation of his club New England Patriots after just one game: star player Antonio Brown has responded to it and declared his resignation.



Two days after his release from the New England Patriots, footballer Antonio Brown, who recently made headlines for numerous scandals, has declared his NFL resignation. "I'm not going to play in the NFL anymore," the 31-year-old wrote on Twitter and attacked those in charge of his ex-team:

Will not pay in the @NFL If you want to pay attention, you may want to pay attention.

"These owners can simply cancel contracts whenever they want," Brown wrote, requesting support from the NFL Players Association, the NFL's players' union, "let's see if the NFLPA holds them accountable," Brown said.

The wide receiver, who made 686 passes in six seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the main round games, earning 9145 yards of space, had been signed by the Oakland Raiders just before the season. After several incidents and disputes with the Raiders, he demanded the termination of the contract, because it was canceled due to neglected duties salary.

Shortly after the New England commitment, rape allegations against Brown became known: Brown's former fitness trainer Britney Taylor accused the 31-year-old of sexual violence, assault, deprivation of liberty and invasion of privacy.

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 yet, but the charges against his lawyers have been dismissed. He is said to have rejected a settlement bid of $ 2 million.

His outfitter Nike ended his collaboration with Brown on Friday. Previously, the helmet manufacturer Xenith had already distanced himself from the player.

After separating from the Patriots Brown was initially associated with many other teams. But he put an end to speculation for the time being.
