Could Pittsburgh Steelers’ star Antonio Brown be on Facebook’s payroll?
Hmm, I guess we may now know why Pittsburgh Steelers’ star Antonio Brown’s controversial locker room video was on Facebook Live moments after the Steelers ‘ upset playoff win.
The All-Pro wide receiver has an endorsement deal with the social networking giant that’s in the “high six-figures,” according to a NFL.com report Sunday.
In case you missed it, Brown was criticized and reportedly fined for posting Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin’s profanity-laced postgame locker room victory speech on Facebook’s live-streaming video feature after the team defeated the Kansas City Chiefs on Jan. 15.
Brown later apologized and said he let his “emotions and genuine excitement” get the best of him as he wanted to share the win with fans.
“It was wrong of me to do, against team and NFL policy, and I have apologized to Coach Tomlin and my teammates for my actions,” Brown said on his Facebook page and his other social media accounts.
