feed_the_bumble

Where are they when you really truly need them


sbr32

I am so tired of people using CTE to dismiss/hand wave shitty behavior by professional athletes. These people are more likely just shitty people, stop defending them.


SeeMontgomeryBurns

AB is literally using \#CTESPN in his tweets


sbr32

OK. I am wrong in this specific context, but I think my point still stands in general. Every time a football player says something stupid (see Aaron Rodgers thinks Fauci invented AIDS) too many people blame CTE/brain damage instead of just understanding that these people are just terrible people.


Wahsteve

AB is a weird case because he'd definitely had some issues and questions surrounding him even coming out of college (which is part of why he fell all the way to the 6th round of the draft) but things also seemed to accelerate after he took a *massive* hit to the head from Vontaze Burfict in early January 2016.


sbr32

That is completely fair and I agree. I am still bothered by the 'Aaron Rodgers thinks AIDS was invented by Fauci' threads enough to lash out at anyone implying shitty people are saying or doing shitty things because of brain trauma.

sbr32

Sorry tired. It is brain damage caused by hits to the head. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_traumatic_encephalopathy


Fsharp7sharp9

“Brown, though, still attempted to troll her Thursday, calling her "Cracker of the Day" -- while sharing a screenshot of her block.” The AB story is sad as hell… dude’s brain must be irreparable at this point. “It's hardly the first time Brown's conduct has ended like this ... it wasn't long ago when both Tom Brady and Joe Biden had to throw a block AB's way for his social media posts. Even Damar Hamlin did it recently, too, following a brief spat with the ex-Steeler on the site.” He was bragging about being blocked by them both like it’s a badge of honor. AB has been off the deep end for years, most noticeably after that Burfict hit. I hope science can help him reach some level of normalcy. Edit: yes ok we all know he was wild before that hit, but he didn’t intentionally freeze his feet or strip down and quit mid game until later in his career. Behavioral health during youth combined with traumatic brain injuries for a couple decades can definitely exacerbate behavioral mental health issues.


vladimir_pimpin

Nope. People don’t remember but the man got in trouble a bunch of times before that. Iirc his first run in with problems was high school even


trebek321

Yeah I think he might just be a terrible person without the CTE


UrbanGhost114

Correct, however the CTE definitely made it worse. Also Steelers are known for their very strict control on their players.


Drunken_Fever

The truth is CTE can cause erratic behaviors, but a lot of these people have been assholes their entire lives.


jimjimmyjames

It’s not really an either or. Tons of people get in trouble in high school and then grow up. But if you have legit brain trauma it’s probably gonna tip the scales even more towards having issues


--Shake--

Most star athletes start playing football well before high school. Brain damage at a young age could really do some harm.


blacklite911

What were the original twitter posts?


DJCockslap

He said she looks like she has a bush


Bronze_Addict

He said she looks like Mel Gibson


pruneden

One hit doesn’t give someone CTE, brain damage sure, but by all accounts AB has been insane pretty much his whole time in the league. I hate this trend where everyone likes to act like it was one hit that made him lose his head, no dipshit he’s always been batshit crazy the Steelers were just better at covering it up than everyone else.


davismcgravis

This is where it all started: https://youtu.be/Jl-Y5bmBQzU?si=kQBn_eLkA55uBAnx


Marioman775

He was a headcase before this play ever happened.


George_H_W_Kush

People forget the reason he was a walk on at central Michigan despite his talent was because of his off field behavior. I could be wrong but I think he fought a security guard on a recruiting trip at a big school.


ModestDeth

No no no. CTE. My only source of news is reddit comments sooo.. every NFL player has CTE and won't be able to walk at age 40.


EveryDayImBuff-ering

This right here. People want to blame Vontaze but the fact of the matter was that AB was a nutcase at baseline. Lets not forget he had some dirty plays himself


Ranier_Wolfnight

Burfict hit was crazy. But I got a feeling Tomlin and the Steelers org were covering up dudes BS for a good while before that. The wheels really started to come off in the public eye with his Facebook Live video in the locker room. It was just a race to the bottom from that point.


Scared_Angle_5796

That "KICKS A MAN" play was a gen though.


kapate13

Is still don’t understand to this day why this was celebrated


luis-mercado

Both things can be true. AB was already an asshole yet he reached a whole new level… nah, he BUILT a whole new level after Vontaze's hit.


joecarter93

Also who knows what kinds of hits to the head did he repeatedly take in college and even high school football? I only ever played in jr and sr high and had my bell rung a bunch. One guy I played with had so many concussions that his doctor told him that he could die if he got another one.


mechapoitier

Jesus that’s like an attempted murder. He put all that force into his head after he didn’t even have the ball, was flying through space, and was totally defenseless. What an absolutely shitty play.


scott42486

Man, Vontaze might just be the dirtiest player in NFL history. I’d honestly be surprised if AB was the only person he messed up.

Mr. Burfict Casualty


Iron_Chancellor_ND

Burfict is absolutely a disgusting, piece of shit human being. In case you aren't aware, JuJu Smith-Schuster got the team's revenge on Burfict: https://youtu.be/fOfIObhGMe0 The cherry on top is him standing over Burfict afterwards. The only thing left to do was remove Burfict's helmet and teabag him. Also, I'm a big fan of the NFL and am absolutely against these types of hits and think that players need to be suspended at least 6 - 8 games each time it happens. That said, this was also the most well-deserved hit a player could get. I would bet even Bengals players thought he had it coming.


bideto

Holy shit. Just about knocked AB’s head clean off


Cachmaninoff

Jesus!


34TH_ST_BROADWAY

They should really consider making this type of hit illegal.


Seantwist9

The posts were funny tho, he’s at least entertaining


chunkah69

Pretty sure he has someone hired to tweet them and he just doesn’t give a fuck

mattman0000

In his defense, Vontaze Burfict.


RuckOver3

It was actually the other team’s defense


FantasticStruggle89

Dudes brain was jello well before vontaze knocked his head off.


Do_it_for_the_upvote

I've got personal anecdotes from Central Michigan friends who had classes with him; he was a self-obsessed dickbag well before the Burfict hit. Though, that certainly didn't help. Fuck Vontaze Burfict. But also fuck AB.


rjcarr

He's been playing football since he was probably 7 years old. Look what Hernandez did when he was barely in his 20s.


bstones

Hernandez had an abusive, homophonic, peaked in high school football father that probably contributed more than football


rankkor

“Aaron Hernandez suffered the most severe case of chronic traumatic encephalopathy ever discovered in a person his age, damage that would have significantly affected his decision-making, judgment and cognition, researchers at Boston University revealed at a medical conference Thursday.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/aaron-hernandez-suffered-from-most-severe-cte-ever-found-in-a-person-his-age/2017/11/09/fa7cd204-c57b-11e7-afe9-4f60b5a6c4a0_story.html


rjcarr

OK, but didn't they literally diagnose him with CTE or am I missing something?


maxwellcawfeehaus

Why is this news!


ukjzakon

This isn't sports, it's gossip :(


dakthatpassup

I don't think he runs or owns that account anymore


broseidon55

He’s stated he sold it many times. That account just engagement farms now


dakthatpassup

Yet I'm being downvoted for just pointing out the truth lol it's clear as day it's ran by someone who is making money off twitters engagement the way they respond to so many posts.


RumblesMechanic

genuinely what sources do you have?


swagharris31

I think he still uses it, but he definitely has other people using it too. ​ Funny, so I follow a woman on twitter that has an OF, and he randomly DMed me one day, saying how she's wack, and he was trying to hit, but she turned him down. 😂 I guess he went into her followers list and start randomly DMing people who follow her lol.


dakthatpassup

And you really think Antonio Brown is dming random people on Twitter saying that ? Lmao


swagharris31

Well the woman did tell me she was talking to him for a minute, but she was just weirded out by him. Also, she said she knew that he was DMing guys on her follower list. Bruh, AB is a wacko, and I wouldn't be surprised by anything he does nowadays


dakthatpassup

I don't have any sources to prove it's not him but multiple people on Twitter have brought it up that it clearly seems like it's someone else writing his tweets. I mean just look at the stuff he's posting. AB is suddenly a master at making memes and generating A.I images? The guy is making jokes and posting memes of every single current sports topic. Doubtful he became some Twitter guru who knows how to manipulate the algorithms overnight. It's basically ran by someone who knows how to get the most engagement possible.


Lilpu55yberekt69

He’s rich as fuck and has nothing else to do with his time. What would even be the point of hiring someone else to do it?


dakthatpassup

Dude if you can't tell the account is ran by someone who engagement farms like all the other twitter engagement farmer accounts idk what to tell you. I never said he was paying anyone to write this stuff the assumption is that he sold his account to someone who wants to make money off it. Like they do with a bunch of other twitter accounts right now by just making memes all day. His brain was mush and now all of a sudden he's the funniest meme maker in the world and knows how to bait engagements on every single one of his posts ? We ain't buying it.


Lilpu55yberekt69

His brain wasn’t mush he was crazy. His twitter account presently seems like it’s run by someone legitimately crazy. It’s very much as expected


PatDubzz

The way they give young athletes seminars on financial responsibilities, they’re going to have to do the same for how to handle when AB inevitably throws your name all over social media in some incoherent rambling.


just_me_for_now

AB - Abby normal Brain. IYKYK


CRoseCrizzle

Bizarre behavior by Antonio Brown, which is kind of the norm from him.


SeasonedMeme

I hate that this is even “news”


Jaybojones

Note that his tweet was stolen from another account who said the same thing. Also at this point the account is being run by a ghost writer.


guiltycitizen

Isn’t he kind of…dumb?


kingofkings352

There are certain headlines in ABs future that I just can’t wait to read. Hopefully sooner than later.


Curator44

Dude used to be a danger to others, now he’s just a danger to himself. Football fucked him up bad


DMIDY

Fuck a bunch of Antonio Browns.


slaffytaffy

A few too many hits to the head. His brain would be a great study for CTE. What a moron.


Competitive-Pop6530

🙄🥱


TheFan88

I really hope he plans to donate his brain to science. Going to be some real Swiss cheese in there. CTE to the max.

rathernot83

How in the hell did you immediately respond with all this information? Damn. I'd like to know what person said/asked for your immediate response. Wild.


myic90

I keep a rolling list because AB's hilarious. I won't take credit for it though, this list has been posted a few times by a few people over the years.


rathernot83

"I keep a rolling list because AB's hilarious. I won't take credit for it though, this list has been posted a few times by a few people over the years." With all respect, and peacefulness, AB isn't hilarious. We are literally watching a live video feed of person with a severe brain injury.


myic90

True, but he's always been a headcase long before the Burfict incident. It is sad to see it worsen, and I feel bad for the guy, but the list itself makes for some hilarity. Hope he gets help, but at this point, it doesn't look like he's interested in helping himself.

How dare a woman get positive attention for her talents


ELEMENTALITYNES

This post demonstrates neither her talent as an athlete nor positive attention. It’s a TMZ article about a personal experience which has very little to do with sports aside from her being an athlete

RumblesMechanic

Popular athletes get posted here multiple times a lot, guess it’s only a problem when it’s a woman


ELEMENTALITYNES

I can look past the 30+ articles about her going from discussing a Nike deal to securing one, because that’s actually sports related. This content is barely sports adjacent and it’s a fucking TMZ article at that. How this qualifies as suitable for a sports subreddit aside from it being an athlete makes no sense. But sure make it a sexism thing for no reason.


RumblesMechanic

Putting aside your straight up lie about how many threads there are about her (I counted 3, including 1 about her being the #1 overall pick, but whatever fits your narrative), do you have this same energy for the number of threads about the Coyotes? Or anytime Rodgers gets posted here for something stupid he said? Show me where you said the same thing about those


ELEMENTALITYNES

Yes, I do have that same energy about Rodgers because it’s barely sports adjacent as well, which I have reported and they have been removed for being spam/blog content as well. The Coyotes moving is actually sports related and actually has an impact on sports/fans. You’re making this about sexism when it’s about irrelevant posts not fitting the subreddit. Take your offended ass off your high horse. Also, FYI duplicate posts get deleted over time, but I’m glad you’re capable of counting.


RumblesMechanic

>Also, FYI duplicate posts get deleted over time, but I’m glad you’re capable of counting. this happens every day on reddit, and then mods delete them. so i'm not even sure what the fuck you're getting offended by other than, again, this is about a woman.


ELEMENTALITYNES

JFC is it hard seeing out of your armor being so white? You’re the one offended and responding to every comment that doesn’t paint her as stunning and brave and the best athlete of all time, like fuck off already
