Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown he allegedly threatened some football players with a firearm during his time operating in the National Arena League.
Brown spent 11 seasons in the NFL, mostly with the Pittsburgh Steelers, before going on to win Super Bowl LV with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
But Brown also experienced a lot of controversy surrounding him and left the league, becoming part owner of Albany Empirewhich is based in New York.
There the latest controversy arose when it is alleged that Brown threatened the players with a weapon, according to ESPN.
The Antonio Brown Controversy and the Albany Empire
The story began with the deletion of a social media post reminiscent of Mo Ruffinswho died in 2022 at the age of 38.
Albany Empire players asked why there was no tribute to the late offensive linesman. As a result, a post reminiscent of Ruffins was created and uploaded online, but later removed, leading players to wonder why.
It is then claimed that the players confronted Brown after the team was unable to get an explanation from the front office. In response, Brown threatened to recover an AR from his car.
“AB looked at Ryan Larkin and said, ‘Hey, do you still have the AR in the car? Go get it‘” Darius Prince, who played for Albany, told ESPN.
“Then I thought, I’m not going to let this guy out of here after you threatened us.”
“After saying that, things calmed down and we had a conversation. But the fact is that she threatened us by telling his assistant to take his AR.”
Other Albany Empire controversies
Albany Empire experienced a series of controversies after Brown joined an executive role, including leadership problems, unpaid wages, and teams thrown out of hotels due to unpaid bills.
The lack of money grew to such an extent that the team was eventually kicked out of the National Arena League for non-payment of dues.
The alleged gun story is just the latest in a list of controversies involving the NFL team since Brown joined the organization.
