Former Steeler offers lengthy apology on Instagram

Does this apology by Antonio Brown change your feelings about the former Steeler?

When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded away wide receiver Antonio Brown, it was a move forced by Brown by some horrible decisions by him. Despite having a team that catered to him in almost every way, Brown chose to give up on his team, throw his former quarterback under the bus on multiple occasions and make himself impossible to keep.

It seems now after two more teams releasing Brown and him being unable to find work, someone in his camp has convinced him to apologize for his actions. Brown posted this apology with a pic of him in his Steelers’ uniform on Instagram on Friday. There’s no way Brown came up with this apology or wrote it but this is what desperate people do. Take it for what it’s worth.

First and foremost, I’d like to apologize to my family, friends and anyone who I offended. I never once meant to make anyone feel like I wasn’t thankful and appreciative of the opportunity that I was afforded to play the game I love. I’ve worked hard over the years to earn a chance to compete in the greatest game on earth. Over the years I was met with challenges and I can honestly say I didn’t handle those challenges in the manner that I should have. Over the past few weeks I’ve had the opportunity to think about everything that’s transpired and I am deeply sorry to all who I’ve offended. While my behavior was inexcusable, sometimes when people are coming at you with false information and allegations, we handle ourselves in ways that we sometimes regret. I do take full responsibility for my actions and I’m working everyday to repair what I broke. I do know that if I’m ever given the opportunity to play the game that I love, I’m going to work extremely hard to show the world how much I appreciate another chance. To the organizations that I offended, I offer my sincere apology to you and my hope is that you forgive me and help me move on from this minor setback. I look forward to competing and helping a team reach their goals.
