Antonio Brown has strong response to ex-teammate Ryan Clark’s criticism
Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Ryan Clark was one of the first people to blast Antonio Brown for his antics leading up to the final game of the regular season, and the star wide receiver has made it clear how he feels about his former teammate’s opinion.
Clark, who is now an ESPN analyst, said earlier in the week that he knew back in 2012 that Brown was going to become a problem for the Steelers as soon as they signed him to an extension. On Wednesday, Brown responded on Instagram by calling Clark an “Uncle Tom.”

The recent comments Clark made were not his first critical remarks about Brown, as he also unloaded on him last year over some of his sideline outbursts.
Brown has yet to really comment publicly on what happened prior to Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but Steelers coach Mike Tomlin essentially confirmed on Wednesday that the receiver bailed on his teammates. It has been reported that Brown had an altercation with Ben Roethlisberger during the week leading up to the game and then decided not to show up for practices and meetings.
