“Not Even Sure”: Amidst Calls for ‘Respect’, Controversy King Antonio Brown’s Long Saga of Issues Frustrate Fans

The idea of respect is more than just being polite to others. The way you present yourself and the way you showcase your personality encompasses the way society will view you as a person. When it comes to Antonio Brown, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR is somebody who is shunned in a bad light. Despite showcasing his talent on the field, his personality and behavior off the field catch the interest of people even more. And fans on Twitter showed their disappointment with the WR.

The wide receiver has been the center of attraction for various controversies. This has left a sour taste in the mouth of the NFL world. Why are Antonio Brown’s achievements being overshadowed by his personality?

Fans unhappy with Antonio Brown

After a Twitter post that discussed Antonio Brown’s achievements, fans felt that no matter the success and recognition he has made for himself, he himself is responsible for negating all of it. They believe that disrespect is earned as much as respect. And considering all the things Brown’s famous for off-field, respect is not within arm’s reach for the rapper and former WR.

Fans are not ready to talk well about the WR.

Despite being considered one of the most dominant WRs in the game, Antonio Brown continues to disappoint fans because of his lack of ethics and morality. From having disputes with Tom Brady to not showing up at the Los Angeles Raiders camp, the list of Brown’s misconduct feels never-ending. Until he values himself, Brown will not be able to value anything or anyone else.

A lesson in reform necessary for Brown

Respect is for those who deserve it, and not for those who demand it. Antonio Brown has a long road to travel ahead when it comes to people finally writing him down in their good books. But it will also depend on how he reflects himself to society. If his list of controversies continues to shine brighter than his achievements, it will be like a fever dream for him to be considered both a good player and a good human being.

Maybe what the rapper needs right now is guidance. If someone comes up and shows him the correct road to take, the road to reformation will not be difficult for Brown. The main question that still lingers is when will he realize it. Is reform possible in him, or is he just built the way he is? We hope to see him get the recognition he deserves, but not in a negative aspect anymore.
