Police youth league cuts ties with Antonio Brown, returns donation after “rift''
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- The Hollywood (Florida) Police Department announced that its athletic league has severed ties with wide receiver Antonio Brown and returned a donation given by Brown following an obscene outburst toward the police and the mother of his children on Monday.
Brown posted a live feed of the encounter, which also included his children, on Instagram, and it was later picked up by TMZ. In it, he can be heard using explicit language and calling the police officers explicit names.
The Hollywood Police Department released a statement following the video announcing the Police Athletic League's separation from Brown. According to the department, recent events that have necessitated police intervention have caused an "irreparable rift" between the department, the Police Athletic League and Brown.
"We made the decision to sever ties between Mr. Brown and the Hollywood Police Athletic League," public information officer Christian Lata wrote in the statement. "We did not want our youth to be subject to this type of behavior nor emulate the actions of Mr. Brown."
The police responded to a domestic disturbance at Brown's Hollywood residence on Monday, and Lata wrote in the department's statement that Brown used "very degrading language in front of his young children."
Brown previously donated to the athletic league's 7-on-7 football league, but the police department said it returned that donation on Jan. 9.
"We will not take money from a donor that we cannot have our youth be proud of or represent our organization," Lata wrote.
Brown was also given a trespass warning for the Police Athletic League property because the department "did not want him to continue to affect our youth nor influence them in a negative way."
Brown responded to the department's statement on Twitter.

AB is now scary crazy. For his own good, I hope someone steps in and gets him the help that he needs. I've never seen anything like it.Comment

He sounds like some sterno bum on the streets of LA. His brains (what little he had to begin with) are gone - listen to that repetition.
I think this video, which he took himself, may finally be the end of his career. A team would have to be as insane as he is to sign him, knowing that behavior will undoubtedly erupt periodically.Comment

I think some team will take a chance on him. Probably try to have a bodyguard with him at all times.
Dude is gone tho... Maybe he was always like this but I think that Burfict hit might have opened the cage door.
I fear for his safety. Reminds me of Chris Henry.Steelers 27

Nobody can get him help if he's unwilling to be helped. It's gonna take a mighty big crash, IMO, to change his attitude in that direction.Comment
