Antonio Brown accused of rape

There's no mention of these potentially 100% bogus emails at that NBC Sports link.

Tiny Nick Underhill has nothing to do with breaking the larger story, its potential for legitimacy, or the NFL investigating. The woman filed a Civil law suit. Is she not suing Antonio Brown for money? Of course the NFL has to investigate. There is no Criminal case.

lololol and also:

#5 of the 5 fast facts from the heavy article:

"Brown’s attorney released the following statement on the NFL players behalf, in which he denies all of Taylor’s claims. Brown states that Taylor continued communications with Mr. Brown throughout 2018, asked for NFL tickets, and has continually posted photographs of Mr. Brown on her social media in an effort to financially benefit from his celebrity.

“Mr. Brown denies each and every allegation in the lawsuit. He will pursue all legal remedies to not only clear his name, but to also protect other professional athletes against false accusations. Mr. Brown was approached by his accuser in 2017, shortly after Mr. Brown signed a contract making him the highest paid wide receiver in the NFL.”

“At that time, Mr. Brown was asked to invest $1.6 million in the accuser’s business project. Mr. Brown was not informed by his accuser that she had just been levied with a $30K IRS tax lien or that $300K of the $1.6 million so called “investment” was to be used to purchase property already owned by the accuser and her mother.”

“When Mr. Brown refused to make the $1.6 million “investment,” the accuser supposedly cut off communications with Brown. However, in 2018, the accuser resurfaced and offered to travel to Pennsylvania and South Florida to train Mr. Brown for the upcoming season.”

“Thereafter, the accused engaged Mr. Brown in a consensual personal relationship. Any sexual interaction with Mr. Brown was entirely consensual. The accuser not only traveled to Mr. Brown’s residences on multiple occasions, she traveled to Tennessee to Florida and returned at 2 a.m. to Mr. Brown’s residence ten days after the alleged assault.”

According to ESPN’s Josina Anderson, Brown plans to countersue Taylor for civil extortion. Taylor’s attorneys have not responded to Brown’s statement."

The point is fair, but your examples are not. Lawrence Taylor was arrested for sexual related crimes dealing with prostitution, not rape, like 20 years after his retirement. Dave Meggett was arrested for sexual assault, also decades after retirement. Christian Peter is more troublesome as he was convicted before his NFL career, not a rape charge, and underwent counseling before the giants would sign him. Whether that is acceptable or not is clearly debatable, but your examples are at best misleading with regards to what you said.

Well... the timing may seems suspect, but you don't just put together a legal action in a day or two because you're a Jets fan. This would have to have been in motion for a long time.

You'll have to excuse my paranoia as a Pats fan.  Either way he's a clown so I'd be fine if we cut him.  I do appreciate the irony of a Steelers fan posting this as if it's some kind of indictment on Brown's character (everyone already knew he was a creep) as opposed to the serial rapist they have for a quarterback.  

They cut Hernandez as soon as he was accused of murder.  You won't find any Pats fans defending Hernandez.  You proudly stand by a serial rapist.  You're anti-Trump, as I am.  I bet you believe everything Stormy Daniels said about Trump but think she made up the part about Roethlisberger.  Random women are constantly making stuff up about Roethlisberger.  Adult film stars, hotel employees, random trashy college students.  He's a classy guy.  

If cocaine possession in the offseason is as bad as it gets, I can handle being a Pats fan.  (Weed is legal in most states now, and getting a handy from a masseuse should be a right, not a crime.)  Try harder to find the moral high ground.

What's hilarious is the absolute certainty that you'd be defending Brown to the death right now if he was still on your team.  That's the difference between us.  I didn't want the guy before this accusation came to light.  You still bow down to that piece of shit Roethlisberger.
