Antonio Brown Calls Out The NFL’s Hypocrisy By Reminding The World That Ex-Teammate Richie Incognito Is A Bad Person Who The League Never Blackballed

Don’t look now but Antonio Brown, in a sea of perpetual rambling about Ben Roetlisberger being a ‘loser’ and calling the NFL ‘racist,’ has made an interesting point.

After Roger Goodell basically confirmed the league has no interest in letting AB play this season, the seven-time Pro Bowler decided to call out the league’s utter ineptitude in keeping its morals consistent by reminding the world the ex-teammate Richie Incognito is a bad person.

AB is not wrong, is something I never thought I’d say. It was absolutely confounding when the Raiders signed Richie Incognito after he retired, un-retired, and then was cut by the Buffalo Bills.

Incognito isn’t exactly a model citizen.

Last May, Incognito was reportedly put on psychiatric hold after an altercation with a man at an upscale gym in Boca Raton, Florida ended with him throwing a dumbbell at the man and the cops being called.

The man also said that Incognito was rambling about the government and screaming at the man to “get off my fucking playground.” (I laugh every time I think of this).

Then, in August, Incognito was arrested for “acting erratically and making the employees feel incredibly uncomfortable” while handling funeral arrangements for his late father.

Oh yes, and then there was the Jonathan Martin saga back in 2014, when he and Mike Pouncey had been harassing and bullying Martin since his rookie year in 2012, regularly calling Martin a “c*nt,” a “b*tch,” a “p*ssy” and a “f*ggot.” Incognito also sent Martin’s revolting messages about his sister, including: ‘We are going to run train on your sister. She loves me. I’m going to f*ck her without a condom and cum in her c*nt.’

I guess throwing furniture off a 14th floor balcony in a fit of rage and almost killing an innocent toddler doesn’t sound so bad after all.

The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
