Former Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro Antonio Brown continued his years-long outburst on social media, picking another fight with Ryan Clark and anybody who has an issue with him.
On Monday, the former NFL wide receiver got into a dispute with a Twitter user for posting about an apparent warrant for his arrest. He then threatened to do harm to former teammate, Ryan Clark.
Amid all of that hoopla was him opening up about his health.
“My CTE acting up (Fk) all y’all whoever played on my name,” he tweeted.
While most people responded to it by trolling, others were saddeed by it.

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a brain condition that researchers have determined is caused by repeated blows to the head or experiencing many concussions. As of now, it is not possible to be diagnosed with it unless the person is dead.
Earlier this year, Brown stated another NFL player triggered his aggressive behavior. During an Instagram Live appearance, Brown claimed a hit from former Steelers linebacker James Harrison caused trauma to his brain.
“I wanted to tell you guys that I think James Harrison gave me CTE,” Brown said. “James Harrison had an illegal helmet for over 20 years in the NFL, and he hit me one time. And, ever since he hit me, I’ve been super aggressive. So blame James Harrison for my CTE.”
Brown and Harrison spent the majority of their NFL careers with the Steelers.
Many believed his issues started after he was the victim of a helmet-to-helmet hit in a game against the Bengals, but it was delivered by linebacker Vontaze Burfict in 2016. He has had many issues off the field.
Last December, domestic charges were brought against Brown after an incident at his home in Florida. In October, he was ordered to pay a moving truck driver $1.2 million following an alleged assault in February 2020.
An arrest warrant was issued for him this month in Florida over unpaid child support. Brown missed $15,000 in child support payments due to his baby’s mother.
Whatever his issues are, hopefully he can get the help that he needs before his story becomes a tragic one.
