Antonio Brown was in a talking mood Saturday afternoon.
The wide receiver, currently a disgruntled member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, took to Twitter Saturday afternoon to do a question and answer session with some fans.
For some context, the latest in the ongoing drama between the Steelers and Brown has the wideout requesting a trade out of Pittsburgh. Brown originally wasn’t going to meet with owner Art Rooney to discuss things, but now the two will meet at some point next week.
In his Twitter Q&A, Brown threw some shade at some prominent figures in the Steelers organization — including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Here’s his responses.
No conflict just a matter of respect! Mutual respect! He has a owner mentality like he can call out anybody including coaches. Players know but they can’t say anything about it otherwise they meal ticket gone. It’s a dirty game within a game. #truth https://t.co/MsSyBVd3Ny

In response to his tweet about Roethlisberger, one account responded with a video of Brown lauding the quarterback. Brown hit back in a big way.
Yea it’s positively over negativity mid season why fire back this perfect example of being the bigger man! When I could easily point finger ! I pointed at me because i bet on me faith in me not no one else https://t.co/9XnNhZGPQg

No matter what happens, there’s a near certainty the conclusion of this fiasco will be a pretty messy one.
