It wasn’t exactly a Merry Christmas between Antonio Brown and his father this year.
Brown’s father Eddie was quoted in a story by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler about Brown that was published on Tuesday. Brown’s father shared that his son was going to therapy to help some of the wide receiver’s issues. Eddie Brown gave further insight about his son, telling Fowler he believed the wide receiver became overwhelmed and didn’t know how to deal with so much, which has led to many problems.
Brown clearly didn’t appreciate seeing his father quoted in a story about him and lashed out via Twitter on Tuesday, calling his father a “failure.”

So Eddie works at UPS, pays his child support, and provided insightful commentary about Antonio. Antonio mocked his father for working a ob and being a “failure” and “chump.”
One of the two sounds like more of a chump than the other, and it’s not hard to figure out which one is which. Another item of note that came out of Fowler’s article has to do with Brown reportedly calling Ben Roethlisberger a “cracker.”
