After spending nearly a decade in the NFL with four different teams, Antonio Brown removed himself from the league following a brawl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Since his NFL career, the former player has been involved in a series of controversial issues.
However, recently, Brown has once again gained attention, but this time it’s not for a controversial case. Instead, it might improve his reputation after a long period if it’s followed through properly.
Antonio Brown agrees to pay a fan’s student loans on one condition
Despite having a successful career, former New England Patriots player Antonio Brown gained notoriety primarily for his contentious incidents, which included police standoffs, arrest warrants, public exposure of himself, and failure to pay the payments owed to his team, Albany Empire, which led to his expulsion from the National Arena League.
However, an X user recently made a kind request to the former teammate of Tom Brady. The student is incapable of paying his student loan and carrying out his study smoothly. Hence, he requested Brown to pay his student loan by tagging him in a post.
As soon as the post drew the attention of the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers player, he provided a stunning response. He agreed to repay his debt in response to the request but attached one requirement. The 12-year veteran said that in order to repay the student loan, the student must receive “A’s and B’s” in all of his courses.
Despite his response, he received a lot of criticism for his condition, with people claiming he wasn’t truly eager to repay the money due to setting such a requirement.
Antonio Brown reportedly failed to pay child support
Aside from the previously mentioned controversy, Antonio Brown recently made headlines for failing to pay his ex-partner Wiltrice Jackson’s child support. Early in Brown’s NFL career, Jackson and Brown started dating, and the couple eventually welcomed a daughter together. However, their relationship ended after Brown was accused of pushing Jackson during a dispute.
The 35-year-old nearly went to jail after their divorce for failing to pay Jackson more than $30,000 in child support payments for their 15-year-old daughter Antanyiah last April. Later, Brown posted a message for his critics on Instagram along with a payment receipt in an IG Story.
“Everyone want to see me fail. That’s why I have to be Great!!!,” the post read.
After failing to make payments to his former partner Jackson in the amount of $15,000 in August, he found himself in legal trouble once more in August of the year.
However, what’s your opinion on the former vet player’s kind acceptance of the student’s request in spite of his legal saga?
