“Jesus Christ Man… You’re a Piece of Work”: After Troubling Already Underpaid Athletes, Antonio Brown Gets Fans Upset Over Support Plea

Ex-NFL star Antonio Brown has had quite a beginning to his stint as the owner of the NAL team, the Albany Empire. After acquiring 95 percent of ownership, AB has been accused of not paying the players as well as the coaching staff of the franchise. While many believe that the Albany Empire will be burned to the ground by Antonio Brown, players of the team are already on the lookout for other places to restart their careers once again. However, amidst all the exits from the team, there is someone who has rejoined the side.

AB has made an important announcement for the franchise. And it did not seem like fans were too excited for whatever is to come with everything going on at the franchise.

A low-key welcome by fans for Tom Menas

Recently, the ex-NFL star took to Twitter to announce that Tom Menas will be joining the Albany Empire once again as the head coach, after being fired before the start of the new season. Menas has led the team to two championships in the league. AB asked fans to come and support the team on May 6 at the inaugural game of the new season. 

But fans seemed upset over whatever has been happening in the franchise, as they took to social media to voice their opinion on the same. 

One fan commented that people will not come to support an organization that does not pay its players their salary.

Another fan felt that Menas will have to win the genuine fans back after the controversies surrounding the franchise.

This fan felt that if the franchise does not pay its players, then there won’t be a team left to support.

Another fan questioned if Tom Menas will also be locked out of his hotel room like what has been reported regarding other players for the Empire.

This fan questioned how AB manages to get out of all the controversial situations surrounding his life.

The re-signing of Menas comes after accusations piled up on AB for misbehaving with the team and the coach of the Albany Empire.

Antonio Brown finds himself in another controversial saga

The ex-HC Damon Ware and the players of the franchise accused AB of misbehaving with them. According to reports, AB’s takeover as the owner was a hostile one, as he locked players out of their hotel rooms. Furthermore, they complained about not receiving payments for their past two games in April. But AB did not seem too bothered with the accusations, as he recently shared a tweet, which looked like a response to the controversy he finds himself in.
