Instead, one that he owns.<\/p>\n<p> The Albany Empire, the arena football team in which Antonio Brown is a 95% investor, seems to be in a mutiny after players didn\u2019t receive their pay last week. That had a domino effect on the franchise,\u00a0 a misdemeanor incident, the coach leaving, as well as a number of players reportedly departing, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Related Sports Videos By the way? This is all coming in the midst of the team owner claiming publicly that he\u2019s rejoining the NFL as part of the Baltimore Ravens. So to say there\u2019s a LOT of confusion surrounding Antonio Brown, the Albany Empire, and their entire mess would be a massive understatement.<\/p>\n<p> Antonio Brown via WNYT Newschannel 13 YouTube RELATED:\u00a0Former NFL Star Antonio Brown CLAIMS He\u2019s Joining The Baltimore Ravens<\/p>\n<p> According to the\u00a0Albany Times-Union, players and coaches are supposed to be paid every Friday. The team did reive their salaries on April 21. However, they then played a game against the Carolina Cobras on Sunday, April 30, despite not getting paid two days prior to the game.<\/p>\n<p> So, in essence, they played the Carolina game for free. But the problems didn\u2019t end with just a pay correction and an apology. The issues in Albany have been mounting with Antonio Brown at the helm of the franchise, and this was finally the boiling point.<\/p>\n<p> RELATED: Antonio Brown Responds To Arrest Warrant Over Failure To Pay Child Support<\/p>\n<p> Brown, 34, said he was retiring from the NFL after an acrimonious exit from Tampa Bay following the 2021 NFL season. Since then, he\u2019s been dealing with multiple business and legal issues, including last week, when he answered charges of failed child support payments.<\/p>\n<p> He\u2019s also recently posted that he\u2019s going to return to the NFL with the Baltimore, even going so far as to add an image of him wearing a Ravens uniform. According to the Ravens and the NFL, Antonio Brown has not been added to their roster, and reports suggest that there haven\u2019t even been talks between the two sides.<\/p>\n<p> So the Albany situation, which saw recent head coach Damon Ware walk out \u2013 shouldn\u2019t be surprising. It\u2019s just another example of Antonio Brown\u2019s erratic behavior.<\/p>\n<p> Antonio Brown Twitter Last month, Brown took full ownership (95 percent) of the team, along with his father, Eddie Brown, who played several seasons in Arena League football and is typically considered the greatest player in that version of pro football. Since the Brown family took the reigns, however, they haven\u2019t seen success in the ownership box like the father-son combo did on the field.<\/p>\n<p> In fact, their presence was not wanted, or welcomed, according to Ware, who reportedly told TMZ that it was a \u201chostile takeover\u201d when Brown purchased a minority share of the team, then bought off the remainder of ownership, piece by piece.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cIt became all about him, not the football team,\u201d Ware said. \u201cWe built a wonderful organization over three years \u2014 he came in and killed it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> NEXT: Detroit Lions\u2019 Jameson Williams Among 5 NFL Players Suspended For Gambling<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just when you think there can\u2019t be any more controversy or confusion surrounding former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown, he discovers a new will to be weird.
