The Super Bowl is rising in a month. Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hoping to defend the title. In doing so, they will have to do without an important player in the future.
Antonio Brown of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers caused another scandal in the NFL and was kicked off the team by his coach afterwards. “He’s no longer a Buc,” said coach Bruce Arians on Sunday after the 28:24 win at the New York Jets. The coach didn’t want to say more about Brown. 69-year-old Arians made it clear that he only wanted to talk about the players who were still part of his team. Quarterback Tom Brady promoted understanding for Brown after the game, even if he did not approve of his behavior.
The 33-year-old Brown was so upset in the third quarter of the game against the New York Jets that he took off his jersey and simply walked off the field. Brown had been replaced by coach Arians. His teammate Mike Evans tried in vain to stop him. Brown tossed his shirt and gloves to fans in the stands. Shirtless, he then went into the dressing room at MetLife Stadium.
Brown had caused quite a stir in the past. At the beginning of last season he switched to the Bucs, the first eight weeks he had been banned from the league for violating the code of conduct, then won the Super Bowl with his team.
Most recently, Brown was sentenced to three games suspension from the league for a forged vaccination ID.
