Former NFL All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown has already been all over the headlines for all the wrong reasons this month, and now it looks like Brown is causing yet another controversy by posting a very offensive post to his Twitter account.
On Monday afternoon, Brown posted a Tweet that said “Starting my own Team” with a graphic that included a logo similar to the Arizona Cardinals with a caption that read “R*tardinals.”

The Tweet was presumably an attempt at humor from the ever-controversial former NFL receiver, but it certainly didn’t land. The NFL world didn’t find it funny and absolutely blasted the former star for his offensive Tweet.
Guess that's one team you won't play for.
You have one for mean machine who you will playing for soon. https://t.co/vAVl7oC7eQ

Honestly…
Aside from 15 years as an NFL coach without having a losing season…
Mike Tomlin should get a Gold Jacket just for keeping this man focused for 8 years! 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️😄 https://t.co/SN7LPeZjNQ

I am not sure if there is mental illness here or just pure immaturity. Either way, it's gone to far. #AYS https://t.co/fhrgp1Nxoe

I'd have assumed that somebody suffering from mental illness would be more sensitive to things like this. I guess I would have been wrong. This is an unbelievably sad lapse in judgment, and If you find this funny in any way, feel free to unfollow me. This is not funny. At all. https://t.co/LgRxqLfYEw

This is just the latest in a string of Antonio Brown controversies this month. Earlier this month, a video emerged that showed Brown shoving his buttocks into the face of a woman in a public pool at a Dubai Hotel before slapping his private parts onto the water.
Brown made more headlines when he made light of the situation in Dubai with a controversial and crass Tweet. It was then revealed that Brown was being accused of stealing $122,000 worth of jewelry during his time in Dubai.
Whether Brown’s antics are a sign of mental issues or a cry for help, he’s certainly not making the best decisions lately.
