Antonio Brown gave fans an inside look of what is discussed
in a NFL locker room after a huge win against the Chiefs to reach the AFC Championship
game. Brown captured dancing teammates and a speech by Steelers Head Coach Mike
Tomlin. The Facebook Live video had more than 1.1 million views and 20,000
shares before it was deleted according to NFL.com
In my opinion, professional athletes are accustom to being
in the spotlight and judged for every decision they make on and off the playing
field/court. If you turn on the news or scroll through social media you will
find something, either good or bad regarding a professional athlete. These
platforms allow athletes the chance to make an impact on societal and cultural
issues. Athletes can reach and engage a must larger audience by using their
fame and the spotlight they receive on a daily basis but they just have to make
sure they are using their fame and exposure in a positive light.
Antonio Brown, apologized for posting the video stating "I
let my emotions and genuine excitement get the best of me, and I wanted to
share that moment with our fans," Brown said on his Twitter account.
"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.
