AB calls Mayock a ‘cracker’. The story of Antonio Brown cussing out Mike Mayock and threatening to kick his ass, just took another interesting turn. According to Adam Levitan, sources told ESPN Antonio Brown “called Mayock a ‘cracker’ and unleashed a barrage of ‘cuss words’ during the altercation.”
This is an interesting part of the story to me. AB clearly meant that as a derogatory and racially driven message. What if that bullshit were spoken the other way around? What if Mayock used the word we all know is the racially driven word towards the black community, toward AB? AB calls Mayock a ‘cracker’, and it apparently is not a nationwide racial issue worth discussing.
I am really interested in the opinion of the entire country on this one. Why is it ok for AB to call Mayock a cracker? Why is it not a suspendable offense to use a racially driven word against your boss? The NFL needs to take a hard look at suspending AB in the light of their new “woke” movement that they have going on with Jay-Z right now. It needs to be balanced for all races and sexual orientations.
Antonio Brown is off the reservation, and needs to be reeled back in. In no other situation in the country can an EMPLOYEE, which is what AB is, be able to call his boss a cracker, threaten to kick his ass, not show up to mandatory meetings, and still manage to keep their job – while getting paid millions. This guy clearly already shows signs of CTE issues. He is officially losing his mind.
Apparently he issued a “heartfelt” apology to his team today. If I were the Raiders, I would cut AB and move on with life. There is no upside to AB being on this team. He merely takes a 4-12 team, and makes them 5-11. Cut your losses Raiders, and move forward!
