Antonio Brown taking off his gear and jogging off the field during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game was extremely odd. Therefore, it’s not unnatural when some took to social media to address their dismay.
One such person is former WWE Superstar, The Iron Sheik. He took to social media to display his absolute unhappiness over Brown’s actions. He used his coined term “Jabroni” to refer to the NFL star.
While The Iron Sheik expressed his frustration, WWE Superstar Randy Orton took to social media to mock what Brown did.

Apart from other sporting legends, even fans have taken to social media to mock him. It’s not everyday someone takes off their gear and goes off field during a game!
Antonio Brown continues to make headlines
It sparked outrage among his team when Brown jogged off-field, as it was something no one was expecting. The SuperBowl winner reportedly went off the field because he was injured. However, when he refused management’s calls to return, Brown was cut from the team.
So Ab's leaving wasn't a random event. He was basically cut during the game, so he left because he wouldn't play hurt. Arians told a bold face lie to media when asked directly if this is what led to AB leaving. This is per NFL Network, not a rumor. https://t.co/BJEVlHenkb

Now, all of the attention surrounding him did not keep him within the house. The NFL player was seen at the Nets Game. Considering that, it wouldn’t seem like he’s gravely injured to not be outside, but probably injured enough to not be able to play.

While initial announcements claimed that Brown is no longer a part of Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there has been no official statement from the team about the same.
Some claim that things would be fine if Brown apologizes, but it’s unclear if he has had a conversation with the management as of yet.
Twitter users give their opinion about the situation
Not only have news channels and critics reacted to the situation, but so have the fans.
