Antonio Brown Officially Suspended For Lying About His Vaccination Status

Antonio Brown was going so well as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He came on mid-season last year. And he stayed out of the tabloids, showed up to practice, proving to be a vital part of their championship run. But the troubled receiver is officially back on his BS.

A couple of weeks ago, Antonio Brown’s personal chef accused him of forging a vaccine card to get out of the NFL’s protocols for unvaccinated players.

The NFL started an investigation. But the Bucs, AB, and his teammates were all adamant that he took the shot, and there was no story.

But to no one’s surprise, Antonio Brown appears to have been caught in a lie.

On Thursday afternoon, the NFL announced that they were suspending AB for three games following their investigation into his fake vaccine card.

Antonio Brown has missed the past several weeks with an ankle injury. And he was expected to miss a couple more before returning for the team’s stretch run.

So far, AB and his reps have not released a statement on the matter. But it’s pretty telling that he was caught red-handed by the decision to waive an appeal.

Once again, Antonio Brown has proven to be a distraction for his team.
